Wie testet man die tatsächliche Kapazität eines USB-Flash-Laufwerks mit kostenloser Software?

So why do some 64GB USB Flash Drives cost 25 yuan while others are only 15? Beware – you could well be buying a ‘capacity expanded drive’. I’m Mona, from Shenzhen YOUSAN USB flash drive Factory and I’m going to burn my bridges and expose the biggest dark secret in the industry. Let’s use the free, and pretty neat software ‘H2testw’ to find out.

1. Was ist ein "Expansionsantrieb"?

What you thought was “fake goods”: Rough casing, no response when you plug it in. No, today’s “capacity-expanded drives” are smarter than that. They are smarter than you think. When you hook a USB drive sold as 64GB into your computer Windows will report: “Available space: 62.5GB”. You can even drop files onto it and the progress bar looks normal! Everything looks perfect. The black tech behind it: Small workshops or rogue manufacturers recycle found 4GB chips. They adjust some controller parameters using mass-production machinery, fooling the whole computer system into displaying as a 64GB device. It’s like a bucket that only holds 4 litres of water getting a sticker slapped on it saying “64 litres” and selling it to you at 64 litres price.

2. Was passiert bei der Verwendung von Erweiterungslaufwerken?

Viele Käufer entscheiden sich für diese Laufwerke, um Geld zu sparen, und werden dann von ihren Chefs heftig gerügt. Erweiterungslaufwerke haben einen entscheidenden Fehler: Loop Write.

1. 1st 4Gb : normal writes, files open.
2. 4Gb or more : “Write successful” is displayed and the datd is written to disk – but since no physical space is left, the new data overwrites the old, or just disappears.
3. Your customer gets the USB stick, copies all their photos and contracts, and opens it up when they get home. And the filenames are all there, but the contents of the files is gibberish or fails to open, all the data is completely out of action.

3. Wie prüft man die tatsächliche Kapazität mit H2testw?

When faced with this situation, don’t take the vendor’s word for it, and don’t trust what your computer tells you about its properties. The truth will become apparent with just one free piece of software: H2testw. It’s the world standard for determining true capacity in the industry.

4. YOUSAN Professional USB Drive Manufacturer’s Commitment:We Sell Reputation, Not Trash!

In Shenzhen’s electronics wholesale markets, overcapacity drives can double profits, but YOUSAN usb flash drive steadfastly refuses to manufacture them.
Every chip we use is Grade A genuine full-capacity, such as from Samsung/SK Hynix/Micron, etc. Before shipment, 100% of our QC assembly line conducts H2testw verification. We do not have to “steal capacity” in order to make money, which means we want to see your repeat orders next year!

Mona’s Advice:
Unabhängig davon, bei wem Sie USB-Flash-Laufwerke kaufen, senden Sie diese Nachricht an Ihren Lieferanten, bevor Sie eine Bestellung aufgeben:
"Annahme aufgrund der H2testw-Ergebnisse. Wenn es nicht funktioniert (roter Balken), werde ich alle Einheiten zurückgeben und die Zahlung verweigern."
If they respond evasively, it shows they have something to hide and won’t dare take your order. If they’re an honest factory like YOUSAN, they’ll applaud you.
