Props to them for writing "REPRO" on the cart with a 6pt size. Wouldn't be able to tell otherwise.
(I love how bootlegs become cool and good if you present it as a "reproduction", glad the mass bootleggers are catching up on it)

That bootleg is a legitimate piece of art, it belongs in a museum.

Just ordered a Transcend flashdrive. What the chances that it is genuine?

blunt posted:

Low. There's a reasonable chance it has malware on it though...

my favorite counterfeit memory sticks are the ones that lie about their size and just loop over the bits when you write past the actual length

SwissCM posted:

That would be all of them.

And in a surprise twist, the flashdrive was.......fake!

I have an identical, genuine model and the difference is pretty clear when you put them side by side (poor quality silk-screening/label)

but here's the real twist:

Genuine:
READ: 21.8 MB/s
WRITE: 7.5

Fake:
READ: 19.3 MB/s
WRITE: 17.8

Twice as fast when writing.

I've run Fakeflashtest and it reports it as 14.8GB - that uses a test that seems to write the entire disk at a low level (you need to reformat it after testing)

RMPrepUSB from the same site gives the capacity as 15264 MB - compared to 15468 MB for the genuine one.

So, seems to work okay.

ChipGenius (via https://www.raymond.cc/blog/test-and-detect-fake-or-counterfeit-usb-flash-drives-bought-from-ebay-with-h2testw/ ) perhaps explains where they've made their money: it use some no-name chipset:
