Yesterday I found that one of my SanDisk thumb drives was fake.
(A SanDisk 256GB Ultra USB 3.0 Flash Drive, that I bought from Amazon in Sep 2022, and the page is still up.)
Besides the report data details that show the faked capacity, the information details have hokey looking "hub or drive vendor", "hub or drive product", and "serial number" entries compared to real SanDisk products.
Upon closer inspection, some cosmetic detail difference are also detectable.
(I've also been stung by fake electric toothbrush heads, and other products from Amazon.)
I realize that the funny looking information details could be made to look better by the counterfeiters, but for some, that may also be a clue that the drive is fake.
(I've got some TF cards I need to test now.)
