@DieselDragon and to others, even if you fix your keys, i would refrain from using them to store critical data, they are very delicate and cheap makes ! They has slower read-write speeds.

Hi mate!
Just wanted to say thanks for the descriptive article, and the photos in particular!

I recently bought two MP3 players that up until now *looked* like they were 16Gb units (And Windows happily FAT-32′d them to that capacity without complaining) but looking at the photos above – And seeing exactly the same “16Gb” stickers that are on my devices – I now know that they’re actually smaller than they first appeared…And I’m thanking the Gods I didn’t try storing anything critical on them!
It’ll be interesting to see what their *real* capacity is, once I’ve had the chance to run H2Test over them. I’ll still be happy if they’re 2Gb each, but only time and testing will tell.

Anyhow…Thinking of the way that USB media works, and the fact that the storage capacity is IIUC written to a low-order sector on the flash chip, surely it would be possible to perform a low-level write to these sectors from Windows or whatever OS?
Used in conjunction with H2Test output, an open source repair program could be produced and used by end users to “fix” fake USB keys (That is to say, update the stated capacity to the correct one) irrespective of the type/class of controller used on the key itself, without any knowlege of drive structures or layouts needed by the user?

Farewell for now, and thanks once again for an excellent and informative article!

thanks for the info. I decided to check a flash drive before using it since I had trouble with one in the past. This one was given to me by my niece for Christmas (she bought it on eBay). I had my suspicions since the package stated 8gb but the leatherette covering has 16gb imprinted on it.
Anyway I ran the h2testw and despite the packaging or the leather covering on the flash drive and what they state the htestw states The media is likely to be defective.
1.9 GByte OK (4140794 sectors)
13.6 GByte DATA LOST (28582150 sectors)
Details:13.6 GByte overwritten (28582150 sectors)
0 KByte slightly changed (< 8 bit/sector, 0 sectors)
0 KByte corrupted (0 sectors)
2 KByte aliased memory (4 sectors)
First error at offset: 0×000000007e5df400
Expected: 0×000000007e5df400
Found: 0×000000007e5df000
H2testw version 1.3
Writing speed: 9.27 MByte/s
Reading speed: 15.5 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4

So I ran the chipgenius and it states
Device Name: +[F:]+USB Mass Storage Device(Generic USB Flash Drive USB Device)

PnP Device ID: VID = 1043 PID = 8012
Serial Number: 5&&26F89CA8&&0&&1
Revision: 1.00

Device Type: Standard USB device – USB2.0 High-Speed

Chip Vendor: iCreate(??)
Chip Part-Number: i5128(V1.34)~i5188(V1.5)

Product Vendor: Generic
Product Model: USB Flash Drive

I then went to the iFlash data base and the information that I found states the utility is i5127-PDV1.08B3 for a 1gb flash drive.

Is there a way to fix this flash drive???
