Wha-huh? I found a place that sells 128 gig Kingston USB keys for $42. Unfortunately, the name of the store is so generic (it's called "OnlineStore") that I can't do a search to find out if they're legit.

But, c'mon. $42 for a 128 gig stick? Is this really legit? Anyone hear of these guys?

Yeah, I'm going to call shenanigans on this one. $42 for a 128 gig stick? No way, that's like 80% off the MRSP. You're gonna get either the case without anything in it, or a 32 gig drive stuffed with malware.

Save your headache and buy a usb external hard drive from a reputable retailer.

I smell BS here. I'm guessing they are going to try and overcharge on shipping or just not ship anything and disappear in a month. I would recommend staying far, far away from them.

Not legit.

It might even be a bootleg of a Kingston drive.

I noticed that their site has nothing about security verification or anything like that.

Run as fast as you can in the other direction.

Yeah, I didn't go for it. Pretty see-through for a scam if you know the signs. I managed to get a 64 gig off eBay for a little bit more, which is still a third of the MSRP.
