I have a fake USB drive, but what is the drive`s real capacity ?
Ever purchased a cheap USB Flash Drive from eBay and you suspect it to be a fake?
USB Flash Tools can help, there are many fake capacity USB flash drives on the market that claim a particular capacity, but only delivery somewhat less than this (particularly the larger drives). This is sometimes refered to as fake `oversize capacity`. The counterfeit drives we have examined appear to have the stated capacity in Windows Properties and it is not until you test the drive that you see that there is significantly less real space.
There is also a similar problem of low quality drives (which may or may not also be counterfeit). These drives might have the capacity they state on the box, but be of such low quality that they corrupt files or lose data stored on them.
While many stores, such as Ebay and other online auctions, provide information on how to detect some of these fake USB flash drives, they generally rely on physical markings on the drive, such as incorrect serial numbers or typing mistakes on the packaging. Of course this only works for well known documented cases of counterfeit drives.
