I threw it away, and I went back using my old one.

Its obviously a no good one that you bought,isnt it? When on earth would any computer shops in Batam sell a 10GB thumbdrive? Most if not all thumbdrive size would be in 2Gb,4Gb,8Gb,16Gb,32Gb or 64Gb size. Recently they did come out with a 128Gb and 256Gb size too.
Maybe there would be 512Gb one?

From some who is from a Pharmaceutical industry, most likely they would say they will prefer to buy an apple with a worm in it rather than the one w/o it,hehehe... (provided of there are only 2 of the same to choose from)
I know,i know...you are trying to imply cheap things doesnt mean it will be good thing.

Things like thumb drives if you buy the bad ones
They can hurt you real bad if your important datas are lost
Certain things just needs to be secured

Luckily i have the habit of backing up stuffs,most data lost were mainly recently saved files. But still,it piss me off becos losing those dataequates to time wasted and i have to do my recently all over again.
The feeling i have the other day is more like eating an apple with half a worm in it,hehehe...
...and i even test all the thumbdrive i buy before i pay (and they all work just fine).
