maybe its from the future ~
someone brought it back in time @@

hahaha

My sis bought me sony vaio pendrive 40 GB from china, i throw it away on the second day. y? cuz the it cannot store more than 1 GB mp3 and it can only read the first few files only.

oic..then it's fake? seems real though..

try to store for more than 2GB, then try reading them, see if those files would be corrupted or not

WAH. 400GB Pendrive
Then hrddsk would be useless
Please upload the picture

Hahaha......even SSD useless if this is real

i think it's fake, selling for how much?

400GB pendrive? I could hardly believe even if u say it is 40G

i heard the highest memory size pendrive is 32GB by corsair, but in 2008..but jump to 2009..heard 400GB! thats damn insane! i surely confirm u need very damn fast fan to cool the heat coz it will be very very HOT in very small size of chip, that can provide u size of 400GB..sure not long lasting..

if its true then it will be beneficial for us. but it its hard to believe it will happen now and near future

ridiculous.. the USB transfer rate is just too SLOW... no point..

Beneficial? An external HDD would still be a better choice as it's cheaper and at least you can confirm that it's real. A 400GB pendrive that is not even listed on Sony's site has too much risk, and besides, how much chip can they shrink before they can fit memory that can store that much data?
And if it does exist, why are technology used for SSDs?

how come?
where is the proof??

lulz china.

my fren bought a 32gb pendrive from there too last time when our 1GB pendrive is still around RM80.

guess what?stored more than 1GB of data, and when checked, all the data are corrupted.

lyn got one ppl selling 320GB pendrive too haha

its imitation...why dont u try to insert more than 1gb mp3 file...then try to play it directly

china always produce imitation product

agreed! pastu bad quality plak

the statement proves it all

400gb for a pendrive is kinda handy eh..

hoh... salah tempat ni no... moving to Q & A for better audience

I don't think its true coz no one announced it officially and so far the highest cap is only 32gb.

Actually the highest cap is 64GB I think. 400GB? Fake. My classmate bought a 1TB Sony VIAO flash drive, cannot store anything. Its formatted as 1TB, but only can store 512MB, ouch.

the use of that thing is for being a keychain

yeah..find out the pdrve got corrupted after sveral transfer...now be my keychain..as it is steel, hehe

i dont think is genuine few years back also bought some in china to try also trow away

maybe in the future, there will be 400GB pendrive or higher 1TB

with a better transfer speeds and smaller size though...

Can't imagine... 500gbs and 1tb space inside a `small` pendrive...

10years ago, nobody imagined that there will be a processor with 8core. Now, there is.

a long time ago, people use 8MB rams also enough..
now, 4gb pon x cukup

A pic of the new FAKE Sony Vaio 400GB pendrive. Cost: 10yuan, after negotiations.

walaweh
400GB
wonder how much the price..

mod please close this thread .. pointless

400GB really ah? I dont believe

it is totally fake...yes, it shows 400gb on your pc but when you try to store more files, then you will see the problem.....it is actually upgraded!!!copy one...

I remember back at the times of 256/512/1gb rules the usb drive capacity market 2-3 years ago, my fren also got a 4gb sony from China. we were also "Whoa!" that time.

2 months down the road when my fren copied more and more data into it (approx. 2gb++) the drive start to give problem. I still remember clearly that it is 77 days the drive keep it alive, after that it RIP.

the drive is slightly more expensive than the (that time) newest 1gb...

Conclusion. I doubt the 400gb capacity.

people here are so pumped up bout da fakeness of 400GB but no one mentioned any technical details on how they'd make the OS detects it as 400GB

this is because the actual Physical memory is only a mere 1GB or abit more than that,however wht makes the OS detetcs it as 400GB is due to virtual memory.Just like ur PC..u have the physical 4GB RAM tht u install but do u know tht in Windows they have the virtual memory ? u can set to whatever size u want...

virtual memory replicate the use of RAM where data is temporarily stored before they are being processed.Same goes with Virtual memory.They only hold the data for that moment..but the moment u unplug the power,ur data is no longer there

So please dont be fooled by some greedy tactic by stupid company who just care bout money

Some things are just too good to be true

so far i only know kingston 128g/256g .... so this 400g ??
btw 128g price rm 1K++

fake disk... haha..

haha a friend of mine just showed me exactly one like this also

Sony never produce that kinda pend drive.

I have a friend who bought the same thing, the Sony VAIO logo totally looks fake and has china-ish body design.

But he complained it is too slow, transferring 10GB files took forever, so what's the point?

just now my friend upload that 400GB to his profile picture at facebook...he got from his dad..

Haha, shell show 400GB, but chip le? Hahaha. My current HDD also 50% of it only

this pic i get from the owner of the pendrive..

100% fake product from china to lure some tech idiots to buy it. My dad used to bought some 4GB pendrive back then from china, but turned out its maximum capacity is 128MB. And like how others said, it started to give some headaches when copying files. It took forever.

PS: its VAIO too.

how to do so?
i wan to make my pendrive become 1TB

it must be a very *big pendrive to hold that many Gb... huge like SSD size... we can no more call it a pen drive or thumb drive.

i dont think we have achieved that level of miniaturization... unless of course your friend time travelled...

... this thread is one year old... mod should fire the bumper...

The SONY 400GB it used for WINDOWS VISTA or Server. i have it and used its. it work properly.

have you filled more than 100gb in it?or maybe even 40gb?

I will try it. and let you know..

please do and update us here.

lol myrahim just joined today n say it is real

mayb he making bisnes selling 40gb tdrive??
lol jk jk

NO further argue..Here is an official Sony VAIO printmark. Spot any Different? U know edi the answer
