San Disk quality down the drain?

[Defcon 5]

So I've brought a new 4gb flash drive, exactly the same one just larger.
The 1gb one I brought was possible from a year ago, yet with the 1gb it feels sturdy you can bend it and untill a lot of pressure is applied it will creek, yet the 4gb (newer one) its casing is a bit more sturdy than the 1gb but you shake it and it feels as if they haven't taken care of it you slide the USB out and it just slips out without much pressure being applied and with the 1gb its tight, its not so loose.

It feels as if they have lost a lot of quality in the production line, and I am highly dissapointed in them, their 1gb memory stick has been my favorite in a LONG time and after buying this 4gb I shall no longer purchase anything from the company due to their obvious care of attention to their products.

I'm extreemly dissapointed san disk you have destroyed my hope in the company.

Quality tends to be lacking in a lot of newer PC products.
They make them to break not to last.
Best to buy older stuff cheaper if you can.

[Defcon 5]

Its hard to buy older new stuff , you don't really get a old 4gb san disk flash drive.
I would of though technology can be produced with quality as it will be out of date soon.

[solidghost]

Yup agreed. But I guess that's why we can purchase all our stuff so much cheaper than before. Just imagine, my company's extremely old pcs costs about 3000-4000 for a mid range one. Nowadays, if the PC cost about $2000, it's a pretty high end system.

[Defcon 5]

They are coming down due to the supply and damand, unlike 10 years ago they didn't mass produce them as their wasn't much demand for them, so they couldn't be made so cheap.

[Darksat]

Yeah but quality is being skimped on now.
Stuff is designed not to last as long.
