Why Is Fake Flash Memory So Dangerous?

Fake Flash Memory is false capacity memory. Flash nand memory chips have been reprogrammed to lie about their true capacity.

There is no place on the memory chip.

Fakes are created by reprogramming the flash memory chip with special software. Certain usb flash controller chips have flaws. Fake Flash Memory sellers always seem to use the same chip sets. Products affected are usb flash drives, MPx players and memory cards. A strong indicator of a fake, is the price paid. See Global Report – eBay Fake Memory 2008 – 2009
