In general, even high quality storage from well-regarded companies (e.g., Samsung, WDC, etc.) are not all that expensive --- especially compared to the 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. -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
