What are fake USB drives

Fake USB drives are flash drives that have been manipulated to show a higher capacity than they actually have. For example, a 32 GB flash drive might be modified to display 128 GB on your computer. However, when you try to copy more than 32 GB of data to the drive, you will encounter errors or data loss. Fake USB drives are usually sold at very low prices on online platforms or markets.

One way to identify fake USB drives is to check the VID (vendor ID) and PID (product ID) of the drive. These are unique identifiers that can tell you the manufacturer and model of the flash controller. You can use a tool like ChipGenius or Flash Drive Information Extractor to get the VID and PID of your USB drive. If the VID and PID do not match the brand or model of your drive, it might be fake.
