    Again I think a 1Tb flash drive @ £9.99 is a cost/risk issue. I only use flash drives for temporary storage/transportation. I'm not sure I'd invest the time and effort in copying a Tb to a flash over which I may hold doubts about reliability. It's difficult to tell though as I'd say '...you get what you pay for...' BUT storage prices have come down dramatically - so maybe £9.99 is the going rate for a reasonable flash drive!

    I don't actually have a TB of data at the moment, if it works it'll probably be filled gradually as a "second backup" of things that I have stored elsewhere.

    Guys, you were all absolutely right! It's only 64Gb (£9.99 is probably a fair price for that size, but if I want one I'll buy one that doesn't claim to be something it isn't). It's on its way back for a refund and a review is being composed.
    In case anyone's interested, I used a utility called ChipGenius to test it - free to download portable app, doesn't need installation, very quick. I took a screenshot which I might post on my review.
