Then make sure you buy from a reputable vendor, to avoid buying fakes where the vendors claims that it comes from a well-regarded hardware manufacturer, and but it's really a fake where there is only 16GB = of flash to back a claimed 1TB drive, and the moment you write more than 16GB = of data, it start overwriting previously written blocks. In general, even high quality storage from well-regarded companies (e.g., Samsung, WDC, etc.) are not all that expensive --- especially compared to t= he value of the user's time, and the value of the user's data. So trying to = save money by purchasing the cheapest possible storage is just false economy. = In general, if it's too good to be true.... it probably is. Finally, if Intenso is a reputable manufacturer, you should be able to file= a warrantee claim and they should be able to replace it with a new storage device. If they are not willing to do that.... they probably aren't a reputable manufacturer. --=20 You may reply to this email to add a comment.
