Test for Fake Flash Memory

The  Flash memory in this day and age is essential for mobile data storage. With the price competitiveness of the flash memory market and their applications in a wide range of mobile storage consumer electronics, many sellers resort to faked memory capacities to earn extra profit. From the China manufacturing segment alone, a big percentage of exported flash memory products (USB drives and memory cards) have capacities that are set higher than the actual available storage in the flash memory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

H2testw 1.4 has proven itself to be the best of breed for detecting counterfeit Flash drives. It is extremely easy to use and proves detailed information. Created by Harald Bögeholz, the interface is in German but has the option to run in English. It is free and standalone. Nothing is installed into the operating system. Designed for Windows it can run under Linux if Wine is installed. It will not run under Macs. If your computer can not run the software – ask a colleague or friend who has a windows based computer to help you test.

To learn more and for download information

Sections covered:

  • Gold Standard rating for H2testw 1.4 Why do you give this software such a high rating?
  • Results for a 64GB USB drive purchased on eBay, using H2testw 1.4
  • Results from H2testw have been verified on drives detected as fakes
  • Acknowledgements
  • Download Links
  • Note To Flash Drive Sellers

How to use H2testw instruction given below.

 

  • Insert the flash memory device that will be tested and open the H2 program.
  • Once the device has been recognized, in the H2 program interface using the Select Target button, choose the corresponding drive letter.
  • Once selected, leave Data volume: all available space selected and endless verify unselected. Basically leave “as is”.
  • Click the Write + Verify button to begin the testing.
  • H2 will burn-in the full capacity of data into the flash memory device, and then verify the burned-in data.
  • If there are errors, chances are the flash is faulty or has been upgraded to a fake capacity. If the device passes H2, then congratulations, the flash memory is of good quality and should provide years of trouble free service less any unpredictable hardware/component failures.

In all cases that the H2 program finds errors in the flash memory, the data storage of the device can be deemed unreliable and users must proceed with extreme caution if continuing to use said flash memory device.
