I bought a small "SanDisk" branded USB-storage device, I plugged it in, and started transferring files to it while I went to lunch.

When I came back, the transfer was complete, I unplugged the device, and I burned my fingers!

So now I have a broken USB-port in my Macbook, because I trusted Amazon to not sell me a fake product. I wrote a review, and rated it poorly, but they are still selling it[0], and most reviews are positive. They even write "by Sandisk", and "Dispatched from and sold by Amazon".

I bought mine 18 months ago and I am extremely satisfied with the quality (both build and sound) for what I paid. They absolutely live up to the reputation PortaPros have.

I bought a portapro during a Black Friday sale a few years and my experience was kinda like yours: it broke after a few months of use.
