“Assembled and tested in Poland” Costed 5 eur for 64 GB

They apparently also make RAM.

    I’m guessing the silicon was fabbed in Taiwan/China/South Korea and shipped to Poland for final assembly. If they wanted to optimise for labour costs, they could have had the boards soldered in the Far East and merely placed in the plastic enclosures by workers on Polish wages and still qualify as “assembled and tested in Poland”

    Yup, I have goodram as my RAM. Works just as well as any other RAM.

    I’m pretty sure there are actual manufacturing steps going on in Poland and it’s not just some labelling. Sure, not the silicone but there’s more to RAM than just the chips.

      Be warned: Those are scams. Cheap 1TB USB sticks do not exist. They will display in your computer as 1TB by tricking your OS. They are usually 2GB of real size, but you cannot trust usb like that, for storing actual data not even for few GB they actually give you. This USB will also pretend to write data to it and throw it away. People lost their backups because they assumed this USB was real.

      Source: I bough one, analyzed it and researched the topic.

      Yeah, sure, let’s try actually storing more than… hmm… I’ll be generous and say 16GB of data and see what happens 0-0

      It is rather trivial to flash the firmware on the USB to have it report as whatever capacity to the OS.

      And surely that would be falsely labelled, right? That price per GB is insane. You mean €70?

        I’m pretty sure that was the joke, considering the final sentence.

          Oh, I thought they meant “so 8 GB would be even cheaper”.

          I wooshed hard.
