If you choose a "destructive" test to check for fake capacity, it will erase all existing data on the drive. Always back up your files first.
: Identifies storage products that have had their capacity fraudulently expanded. Integrity Testing
Using MyDiskTest v2.42 Portable offers several benefits, including:
Measures actual read and write speeds to verify if a high-speed card (like a Class 10 or UHS SD card) delivers on its performance promises.
The software writes specific data patterns across the entire claimed volume of the drive and reads them back. If the data returns corrupted or missing, it exposes the exact point where the real storage ends and the fake firmware calculation begins.
v242 includes a benchmarking utility that provides a quick "Speed Test."
Most people think a counterfeit USB drive just fails quickly. The reality is far more insidious. Fraudsters alter the firmware of a USB controller chip to report a false Logical Block Address (LBA) count to Windows. Windows sees the fake 64GB partition and allows the user to write files. However, once the files exceed the drive’s true physical memory (say, 8GB), the new data starts physically overwriting the old data because there is no real space left, leading to complete data corruption.
To understand why MyDiskTest is necessary, you must understand how fraudulent drives operate.
