Accepted Answer

Do NOT buy SD cards or memory drives from the street stalls in Pettah. They are almost universally counterfeit Chinese imports that spoof their capacity. A "128GB" card will corrupt after 8GB of footage. If you need electronics, go to a verified shop in Majestic City or Liberty Plaza.

I bought a power bank there that felt heavy, but when it broke I opened it and it was just two AA batteries taped to a metal weight.
