The arena of technology has done a lot of improve how we live our lives, but this industry has been hard hit by the fakes that flood the marketplace and that have proven to be more accessible to the public. Nonetheless, these fake items are have proven to be unreliable since they usually have quite a short life span or may promise to do more than they could really do, hence leaving you feeling quite disappointed.
Most of the time, one is sold a fake USB stick, but at the time it is only the party that is selling the item that knows that it is in actual sense fame. The manufacturers of such items may also go as far as mimicking the logo of one of the well known brands so as to get you deceived and hence duped of your money. This should indicate to you that you should just go to the established brand dealers themselves for such items as they promise you quality and you will not get disappointed. Another way one could get into possession of a fake USB is by knowingly buying a brand that you have never had before to offer the product, and in most cases it is priced considerably lower (very low) as the other brands, and the person selling you the commodity would be telling you that it performs just as great, and you would realize the exact opposite when you get home.
Most of the defective USB sticks that get into the market originate from a batch that whose parts may have been intended to be destroyed, but then smugglers intending to make money from those get them and rate them to be okay for use, then you buy them at a much cheaper price. The best option for such commodities is to go to the authorized dealers.
It is quite possible to detect if you have been sold a fake USB stick. For one it is important that you confirm that the memory indicated on it is what it actually holds, because this is one of the most of the common methods of duping people. This could be checked by looking at the properties of the hardware. If the brand name of the stick does not appear, you have something to be worried about. If you also begin to lose files, or that the files on the USB stick get corrupted, it may be a fake.
