If you purchase high capacity flash storage online, chances are you could accidentally purchase a fake device. Even people who have tried to be safe and purchase directly from Amazon have gotten fake, low quality USB drives and SD cards! Using these will usually result in lower performance than what's expected and in a worst case scenario: data loss! You could could go to a physical store and try to identify fake storage just from physical comparisons, but what if you're only limited to buying online? This is where FakeFlashTest helps! This program lets us easily identify whether our storage is real or not, as well tests the true capacity of the device!

For best results, it is recommended to perform these tests as soon as you purchase your flash storage, that way you won't risk any important data loss and you can return it if need be. If you are performing these tests on flash storage you're currently using, any files you have will be overwritten and wiped! Be sure to backup any sensitive data you care about from the device you plan to test before you test it!
