I just paid 40.00 for my 8 gig, shit.

If OCZ is name brand, then yes.

You bought yourself a diamond and now you're pissed off that someone bought a bigger cubic zirconia for less. Congrats, you're a n00b.

Im far from pissed, in fact I'm really happy with it. I think you misunderstood my post a little, i was just stating what I paid for it.

How do you know? Just because Windows is reading it at that doesn't mean it is... still could be, but until you try to transfer 16 gigs of stuff onto it, you won't know for sure.

Let us know if you can confirm it.

hm well, ive formatted it when i first got it, and it still read 15.6 gigs so if its not actually 15.6 gigs after me formatting it then more power to them...

ive loaded up around 5-6 gigs so far (going from ext usb drive through computer to 16 gig flash drive is slow //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif ) and its already more cd's than i care to flip through in the headunit

Using it on Kubuntu now, shows up as 16gigs....for 30 bucks so long as its close. Moving 14.8g of data over now! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

well, considering the amount of music i just moved on it, i would say it has its 16 gigs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif , note each artist folder has about 2-5 albums inside , i figured out how to get my pioneer to recognize multiple folders

ya most 16 gig sticks ive seen are like 80 bucks and higher... i hope i got a good deal! i just got ripped off $6 at the local strip club atm! **** fee's!!!!!!!

You think thats bad, the ATM at the strip club my friends and I go to charges $16!!

Luckily I've never had to use it.

ouch, on second thaught im thinkin this is a scam item...

when you load up over 10 gigs of information a bogus file is created which is unable to be deleted, the only way to get rid of it is to format, then once songs (up to 15 gigs) are loaded in again they are unable to be played and converted to some other type of format?

the file that is created is just listed as "over 1.14 gigs" and unable to be deleted ... ****it! stupid scammers on ebay!
