I bought one and I am pretty computer savy and I thought It was really 32 gb but when I ran the test it was only 8gb. Fortunately I got a refund. But be very carefull as most of them are coming from China.
Last trip I saw a guy selling 120gb and 240gb flash drives. You expect me to believe those sizes???
