dbr549 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hello, I bought this flash drive from a seller on Amazon. It came by itself (no lanyard, cd or cable). When I plugged it in, I thought it was DOA because the light didn't come on. I contacted the seller and they say it doesn't have a light (that area where the light is supposed to be is rubber and stamped 8GB). Is this a counterfeit? All the reviews I've read indicate that these drives have the activity lights near the layard connection. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbr549 Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 I contacted Corsair. Yep, it's a counterfeit. Corsair said they don't sell this product without the LED light. Anyway, there's a rubber plug where the light should be. If you pinch that area, it's completely hollow. Upon further inspection, there's a big bulge in the center of this drive which shouldn't be there. I bought it from a "seller" on Amazon. I've contacted them and they said they would refund my money, as they were unaware of these being counterfeit, and pulled the listing from Amazon's site. Just thought I'd give a heads up on this. Apparently they're showing up in all different sizes and places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
