Usb Memory Stick Aware Of Counterfeit Drives!

First, we need to know the components of a USB memory stick

. It is consists of a small printed circuit board that carrying the circuit elements, insulated electrically, a USB connector, and a leather, plastic, metal, or rubberized case to protected the inside components.

USB memory sticks now come with with 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and up to 258GB.

I have been in this trade for some years, and a big number of USB memory sticks are produced mainly in China. Some of the manufacturers like to use low price strategy to attract consumers and even some ignorance suppliers.

Some of these factories bosses are very short-sighted and out there to cheat on consumers and suppliers.

They are offering counterfeit USB flash drive at around USD1.50 per unit for a 1GB drive with packaging. The cost of stick (full product) is even much lower than a raw flash memory chip from USA or Korean flash memory chip manufacturers!

Counterfeit USB Memory Stick

When you plug in the FAKE USB drive, it will show you the Fake memory capacity.

But when you start to copy your contents, you will be shocked to realised the capacity was only half or even less! This is called Upgrade chip in China.

The popular saying is that if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. How can a raw memory chip be more expensive than a ready to use USB flash drive?

So when you are going to purchase your new USB memory stick from retail shops or online stores next time, remember to use a genuine software to test your drive. Good Luck!
