This process assume you already have a licensed version of the the BurnInTest software. BurnInTest can be used to write, read and verify large amounts of data to and from the drive, detecting oversize capacity and poor quality drives in the process. Using BurnInTest you can actually test whether your USB flash drive has the amount of storage it claims or not, and test the ability of the drive to store and retieve data without corruption. Of course this only works for well known documented cases of counterfeit drives. While many stores, such as Ebay and other online auctions, provide information on how to detect some of these fake USB flash drives, they generally rely on physical markings on the drive, such as incorrect serial numbers or typing mistakes on the packaging. These drives might have the capacity they state on the box, but be of such low quality that they corrupt files or lose data stored on them. There is also a similar problem of low quality drives (which may or may not also be counterfeit). The counterfeit drives we have examined appear to have the stated capacity in Windows Properties and it is not until you test the drive with BurnInTest that you see that there is significantly less real space. This is sometimes refered to as fake 'oversize capacity'.
There are many fake capacity USB flash drives on the market that claim a particular capacity, but only delivery somewhat less than this (particularly the larger drives).
