is that a usb-b adapter to usb a and it connects to a flash drive? To make it work and possibly even sleuthing the harddrive into showing 500gb's?

Exactly ..
 It's really a piece of cake doing it, once you find the software to program the flash-controller ..
The poor sod who bought this one didn't realise anything was wrong until he tried to transfer a file
larger than the real capacity of the flash-drive ..

i like how those nuts are perfectly just right to fit in nicely, it's like they went out of their way to make sure a perfect fit would ensure. look at the workmanship of counterfeiting! there's like no margin of error in the ... glue?

Was this actually bought on eBay or was it some poor Russian guy who bought it from some seller in China?
