I was recently searching for 1TB flash drives. Currently, when I search for "1tb flash drive" on amazon.com, after ads and an Amazon's Choice banner, the top result is a listing for a $20 product: https://www.amazon.com/Flash-Memory-Rotatable-Laptop-Compute...
Search amazon for “1tb flash drive”. Once you get past the ads/sponsors/Amazons Choice you’ll see a $300 1tb flash drive as the first option, and the second is [1] $20, and they advertise that it even comes with free gifts! Now read the reviews. Even though it has a 3 star rating, nearly every review says it’s (at best) 16gb, and at worst failed after the first use.
And this is the second most recommended product on Amazon for that search.
