Report Reveals Decline In Quality of USB Sticks, MicroSD Cards
Technological advancements have also affected these NAND chips, but not in a good way. The chips originally used single-level cell (SLC) memory cells that only stored one bit each, offering less data density but better performance and reliability. In order to increase the amount of storage the chips offered, manufacturers started moving to four bits per cell (QLC), decreasing the endurance and retention. Combined with the questionable components, it’s why CBL warns that “You shouldn’t rely too much on the reliability of flash memory.”
The report illustrates how some of the components found in the devices had their manufactures’ names removed or obscured. One simply printed text over the top of the company name, while another had been scrubbed off completely. There’s also a photo of a microSD card found inside a USB stick that had all of its identifying markings removed. It’s always wise to be careful when choosing your storage device and beware of offers that seem too good to be true.

The Fortnite series 1 trading cards from Panini are a rather limited edition set, and the elusive Crystal Shard Black Knight 2019 cards are generally considered to be the most valuable – in part thanks to the in-game look they are based on, which is among the rarest Fortnite skins.
