if 128GB DT200 from ebayer pp88954 is genuine seller may make a loss
If this 128GB Kingston DataTraveler from ebay seller pp88954 is genuine it looks as though the seller will make a loss on the auction. Buyers can check whether or not a Kingston flash drive is genuine quite easily – here are the steps:
- Look at the back of the pack – is there a serial number?
- Look at the USB connector – is there engraving on it giving details about the flash drive?
- If both a serial number and engraving are present try verifying the serial number with Kingston.
If there is no serial number (there should be a label showing this) then it is sure to be a fake capacity counterfeit that corrupts files – but the presence of a serial number does not, in itself, guarantee it is genuine.
If there is no engraving you can be sure it is a counterfeit that will trash your files – but again, the presence of engraving does not in itself guarantee it is genuine.
If Kingston cannot verify the serial number then you have a fake capacity counterfeit and your data will become lost or corrupted after a while.
We advise everyone who buys flash memory items to test them with the free program h2testw irrespective of where they were purchased – otherwise you run the risk of data loss and corruption.
Report your fake if testing confirms you have purchased fake capacity flash memory on ebay.
