A 500GB USB hard drive exhibits very strange symptoms; if you save a movie to the drive, the movie will only the last 5 minutes. The drive reports correct file sizes and disk capacity, and other files present on the drive are not affected. What could possibly cause this? You won't believe the answer:

Wowwwwww... I wonder what grade those nuts are so you can try and sell them to get some of your money back. :p

I would guess those are also cheaply-made Chinese nuts that aren't worth much :p
 
This is worse than the Chinese tainted baby milk.

Babies are replaceable, my files are NOT! :mad:

This isn't an entirely new scam, although putting it in a portable enclosure looks like a new spin:
