The 32 GB ones were like 2.50 $, while the 128 GB 2.25 $ and 256 GB 2.20 $. Negative pricing like that.

And they might look like they have the capacity, but suddenly, after 8 GB or so, you get data corruption, because there's no more physical flash and blocks just get overwritten.

    Oh, yeah. That's sketchy AF. I paid a lot more than that, and then I did a full write/read test when they arrived, to make sure they actually worked.

    There's no way you're getting 256GB for that cheap. I think I paid something like $6-10-ish CAD for 32GB a few years ago?
