Hi, any ideas how to change pendrive "capacity" to 512 gb?
i don't know shit, but i'd guess you'd have to loop the original capacity somehow.

Isnt there just some kind of data in the beginning that tells the computer how big it is and sort of gives out a grid to locate data? I know that if drives go down you can sometimes save them by grabbing the table from a good matching drive and copying it over. Kinda like a key for a map.

yeah it's simple, you overwrite the firmware that tells the chip it has X amount, to instead read that it has Y amount.
Now...what programs to use, how to edit the firmware, what values to look at, I can't help you with that.
The chinks that sell the 256gb drives on ebay that are really 8gb or less just use a custom firmware that makes it report 256gb and when it reaches over 8gb capacity it just starts overwriting old files so you can keep putting things on it
its pretty great, bravo to them
>>51250310 I already looked for that kind of soft.
but no soft 4 my pendrive
>>51250341 Yeah i know i want to do sth similar just for fun

go on ebay and buy fake ones from china that read that when in reality they are only 8 gb

Hi Li, I see the you guys have dabbled into pendrives now.
yes, first you need to remove the case from your original pendrive. Next, tape the case onto a 500gb external harddrive
There you go! in just two simple steps, your pendrive is now 500gb.

Just download 512Mb on it, pajeet. You can download it as RAM and copy to your pendrive.

Use vi on the partition so that it changes the inodes of each files within the filesystem to finally report 512GiB of storage to the kernel.

Why do they do this? Do they think people aren't going to find out? Is it some chinese law thing that permits them to do it? I don't get it.

They don't give a single fuck
>Is it some chinese law thing that permits them to do it?
There's no law to prevent it from happening.

Most tech illiterate people don't even use a fraction of the pendrive's capacity and if they topple with someone who does they just send them a refund or an untampered pendrive so that they won't give them bad reviews.

I FUCKING HATE THESE MEETINGS.
If I ever kill myself it will be at one of these meetings. Just so that something exciting happened at least that one time.
