Unlike other Kingston DataTraveler DT150/64GB fakes, a victim reported:
the drive itself had no engraving on the metal part, the outside red and black stuff on the outside of the case was just thin plastic wrapper and the metal part was upside down.
did have a working led which I heard most of the fakes did not have. also the packaging has none of the mistakes I read about on your site. it was a real blisterpack could not be resealed.
it had 64 gb on the package and had a sticker with upc code, ac, and lk however when enteref on the kingston site they said the numbers had already been used and I likely had a counterfeit product. h2testw confirmed it was fake capacity.
believes_wo29 is either very sloppy or surprisingly deceptive. He used a picture of a classic sony fake usb flash drive in his listing.
However the listing read:
64GB USB FLASH DRIVE USB 2.0 PEN STICK MEMORY 64 GB NEW Now you can store, carry and transfer files quickly in an affordable, convenient device.

The comment by another victim on his SonyFake truely a Kingston DataTraveler DT150/64GB fake?
Perfectly packaged up in a Kingston package
Kingston Technologies is being counterfeited again, this time the situation is even more serious. Somehow the counterfeiters have been able to perfectly replicate Kingston’s packaging for the Kingston DataTravel DT150/64GB usb flash drive. Genuine Kingston products are packaged with a great deal of care to foil counterfeiting of their products. These counterfeit flash drives are not snap pack, they are the genuine blister packaging.
Buyers of 32GB and 64GB advertised capacity, please read these two articles immediately!
