How to check if the pendrive is real or fake?

Hello friends,

Here in this article I will explain you the way to check if the pen drive is real or fake?

Because of the fact that these devices are highly useful in transferring of the data from one place to another, also portability, good transfer speed, multipurpose uses makes these devices very useful. It’s almost impossible for a person to detect and validate the USB devices for its genuinity only by seeing it.

e.g. These days fakes of Kingston Technologie’s USB flash drives can be mostly seen.

One of my friends purchased a 16 GB pen drive from a road site market only for 150 R.S. But when he came to home and used it. He found that the transfer speed of the pendrive is below than 1MB even for the large files. After the 2 or 3 more transfer the pendrive become unusable.

So this type of fraudness can happen everywhere.

So now comes the question, how we can check the pendrive for its originality??

Here comes a tool called H2testw.zip. It can be used to check all type of USB devices also with the internal and external hard drives and even with network volumes. It can also run on Linux if the wine is installed. But it willn’t run on Macintosh.

After downloading the above tool, follow the simple steps given below.

Step1

Extract the downloaded zip file to get the executable file.

 

Step 2

Double click on the executable file. It doesn’t require any installation and runs directly from the executable file. Administrator privileges are not required for running it.

Step 3

Note: Please make sure that your devices is already formatted before coming on this steps. It is not necessary but after this it will give more precise results.

Click on the Select Target button and select your device.
