This thing has SCAM all over it: Seriously, 5 stars reviews?

I checked a few of the reviewers posting histories. While the ones who have only a single record of reviewing any product might be cause for suspicion, there are many other reviewers whose records appear to be legitimate. I'd suggest that this is not a case of a manufactured conspiracy, but simply a case of poor manufacturing quality control. The buyers who got good units were very satisfied. The buyers who got less-than-good-units were not very satisfied. BTW, this product is currently on sale at a daily-deal website for $69.99 delivered. Your review (and others complaining of poor quality) convinced me to purchase this product ONLY if covered by a "satisfaction guaranteed" warranty.

No is my answer. This guys are a great disappointment. Amazon should do something about them to stop this deceit.

I agree with Rick V.'s post. Many of the one star reviews appear to be written by users ranting about technical issues they know little about. Their "see my other reviews" often indicates they knew very little about the other products they reviewed. If a negitive review can't be supported by facts, and readers do not find the review helpful, Amazon should not use it. Some of the reviews are rather humorous excuses for not knowing what they ordered or how to use it.

Because the site you have referenced does not look legitimate. The site is poorly built and the pricing on the items is very inconsistent. I would say this is probably a scam.

These sellers are just scam artists trying to make a quick buck on what they like to call supply and demand. The reality is that Amazon falsely misleads consumers into thinking that the price they see is a good deal. In this case, they have a fictitious list price of $49.99 to make the sucker think he/she is getting a good deal when in fact, it's been overly inflated almost 200%. If this thing actually cost these sellers more than $10, I would be surprised. To make matters worse, they charge you extra for shipping (it's not even Amazon Prime). Buyer Beware!!!!

poor customer service, not as good as the fake reviews and videos make it out to be

I believe you are correct. The positive reviews are junk, all extremely similar with the 'talking points', many end with the same "In conclusion..", all the same length - poor job by the company in faking this makes me think the product is shady. I will not be ordering now.

I, too, bought it based on the rave reviews. Add me to the list of those who question the veracity of many of them. For such a simple product, it's one of the most disappointing purchases I've made. I can't see it scoring so high. It wouldn't surprise me if many of the 5 star reviews are fake. All I know is I would never, ever, buy it again.

In the blink of a nanosecond. Truth be told, I sort of wonder if there even is a deal or if it is all a marketing fraud. There have been some really crappy deals that 'poof' are gone the split second they are posted...my hinkey meter is working overtime. If it seems to good to be true folks...it probably is. And by the way, I was supposedly awarded one from the 'waitlist' and it included 36 dollars tax and shipping. Not such a deal really is it?

No, sorry. Absolute scam. Most useless product I have ever come across. Surprised they are still allowed to advertise their blatant false claims.

eBay is crawling with these fake drives. I've told Amazon about these drives but they will not do anything about the sellers that peddle them. Its buyer beware. Don't commit any critical information to this drive. Stop using it now. Start the process to get your money back. If the deal is too good to be true, it probably is. Don't expect to get a legitimate 256GB flash drive for $35.

you should really read the reviews on this item... it is fake and dangerous. It looks like they are hacking a 128 gb flash drive now according to recent posts. The one I bought was an 8gb hacked to look like it was 256gb. As a sidenote the case is bad ass leather strapping and heavy polished metal (stainless?) It's still not worth the money just to put another flash drive in it, but if you're like me and already purchased one... (And didn't bother sending it back) You have to geek it into working, it feels cool to hold in your hand!

I wonder that too, looks like many of the reviews could be fake or people from the company. They only have 1 review and it happens to be this product....

bestpricecameras.com is a horrifying scam. Check out the customer reviews and ratings on resellerratings.com and you'll run, no walk away from them.
