At least 25% of generic brand thumbnail in-drives are counterfeit, announcing for example, 32GB but only storing 8GB. The same thing occurs with microSSD disks and Sony Memory Stickette knockoffs.
Kingston, however has a unique countermeasure.
"Usually Kingston print text onto the metal USB connector which has the model number and capacity + other numbers. If your Kingston drive has no printing on the connector, it may well be a fake!"

nice
This is why i only buy expensive usb flash storage.
>generic thumbnail in-drives
easy way to tell if your flash drive is counterfeit: you open the case and there's a fucking thumbnail inside
Kingston puts writing on the outside to help.
I only use usb sticks that are company goodies
it's not high end, but they give you decent shit as to not give their company a bad name
my main stick is usb 3.0 from a company I worked for with actually decent read/write and 32GB capacity
and no one else can put writing on the outside?
>thumbnail in-drive
What the fuck, it's called a usb stick you fucking bitch ass white boy.
>At least 25% of generic brand thumbnail in-drives are counterfeit
Maybe if you are only looking on fucking Aliexpress
Literally everywhere else you would be very hard pressed to find a fake flash drive

And most people will never fill up their USB device past 10%. Know so many people who buy USB based on size because it = faster, only to fill it with like 20 word files
Correct, only Kingston
Do they even make those shape of flash drives anymore? I've still got a 2gb one I bought back in 2006
incorrect, my sandisk 128gb usb 3 + usb c drive has its capacity on the usb type a plug, as well as some other info. you'd be a retard to think chinks who want to fool you wouldn't be able to write there.

Laser etching has always been a thing and isn't hard to do, no reason that someone else other than kingston can't do it
I got some chinese microSD cards coming, whats the easiest way to check that they dont overwrite when they get over some capasity?
Flip a coin
If heads, it's fake
If tails, it's not real
