How to Detect and Test Fake, Counterfeit, Hacked USB Flash Drives

You can always find "good" prices from sellers on the internet.

If it looks too good to be true – it probably isn't

Be careful! Not all cheap USB drives are good!

Some of them may be counterfeit!

If you've already purchased USB flash drives at an enticingly low price - try to have it checked to see if it is a fake, counterfeit, or hacked USB drive.

A common trick is to supply much lower memory than agreed. e.g. 256mb chip supplied instead of 2GB. The chip is simply reprogrammed to display 2GB when inserted. Even though Windows might seem to be reporting the correct capacity of the drive, that information alone is not sufficient to prove that the marked capacity is true. Here is a simple method to detect and test it!

Firstly, you need a small tool, software named H2testw. Click the following links to download it: it seems complicated but is actually user friendly...

After downloading it, extract to any folder of your hard drive, like D:\ h2testw, and then click the file h2testw.exe to execute it, no installation is needed. This software was developed for Windows XP and Vista. It is very easy to use and provide detailed information. The default language of the interface is in German but can be changed to English. You will see the following window:

Select the target drive, and click "Write + Verify" button. H2testw writes files of up to 1GB to the target drive, and names them 1.h2w, 2.h2w, 3.h2w and so on. If the target directory already contains such a set of files H2testw will offer to verify them. After it is done the software leaves its test files on the medium. You can erase them if you like or verify them again.

If the drive that you tested passes the test of H2testw without errors, then the marked capacity is correct (minus a small overhead for operating system file formatting).

However, if you are seeing a sample output like below, then it is a counterfeit. The following information shows the drive tested is actually a 4GB USB flash drive, instead of 64GB as it is marked:

The media is likely to be defective.
3.8 GByte OK (8084847 sectors)
58.6 GByte DATA LOST (122921617 sectors)
Details:710.5 KByte overwritten (1421 sectors)
7.6 MByte slightly changed (< 8 bit/sector, 15630 sectors)
58.6 byte corrupted (122904566 sectors)
710.5 KByte aliased memory (1421 sectors)
First error at offset: 0×000000003cef8470
Expected: 0xeb7ac43a237c5170
Found: 0xeb7a843a237c5170

I hope this will help you and look forward to working with you soon
