I'm looking to buy a new external DVD drive and a flash drive. I found a popular Asus ZenDrive that's marked as 'sold by Amazon.ca' and a Sandisk flash drive also listed under the same. I navigated through the Sandisk storefront and clicked on the product link to purchase. I'm just wondering if it's safe to buy tech items from Amazon Canada or if I should be cautious about counterfeit products?

Yep, Amazon.ca is just the Canadian version of their main site. Just ensure you're buying from trusted storefronts and that the link has the 'https://' secure prefix. And definitely stick to well-known brands for your tech products!
Always make sure to buy from recognizable brands, especially for flash drives. There's a lot of scams where sellers list drives with capacities that aren't real. If it's a reputable brand like Sandisk, you're likely fine. Plus, Amazon has a pretty solid return policy if anything goes wrong.
I think it’s pretty safe overall! I've bought a lot of tech gear from Amazon and never had any major issues with fakes. Just make sure to check the product reviews before buying, especially the one-star ratings. If they're not too concerning, I usually go ahead and take a chance!
That’s great to know! I’m just a bit nervous about counterfeit items, but if it’s a legit storefront, I’ll feel better about my purchases.
