Can you access all the files on the drive- or are any of them corrupted/unreadable?

I also got the USB key and its working fine with 9GB of data. Will post if anything happns

Got mine. Formatted one as HFS+. Shows as 32GB. Copied some files over. The first around 8gb worth of files copies then the rest are corrupt!

Anyone cracked one open to actually look at the hardware..? These look a lot like the 'loop' keys available on various Chinese mall sites.

Your files look like they are being copied over, but there is often far far less memory than stated, with some very clever slight of hand in the firmware and sometimes hardware, to make things look normal.

It is not an accident, in the majority of cases, where the price seems 'incredible'.

Branded, from a reliable source, is more expensive, but, for the most part, you're assured of a certain standard of quality and reliability.

Bo-vida issued a credit note for my shipping without dispute...

Though for some reason think they can "adjust" it by £0.36. Not going to happen

Next step... refund from LS.

Checked my 2 with H2testw, same as other posters, 8gb ok, rest is corrupted. These will also be returned.

When you say 'all fine' have you checked the files one by one on the computer you transferred them to?

[Piliger]

Yes. We previewed them afterward because we were reading the comments here.

Copy 32GB of music/photos or videos over onto them and if you can play each and every one, it works!

Right, refund time.
