: Sometimes used in "fake capacity" drives (e.g., a drive labeled 64GB that only has 8GB of actual space).
Always verify the VID and PID of a device to ensure accurate identification. vid 346d pid 5678
These drives are generally or "low-end" USB 3.0. Speed tests typically show: Write Speed: 3 MB/s to 8 MB/s Read Speed: 10 MB/s to 20 MB/s If you'd like to troubleshoot further, let me know: : Sometimes used in "fake capacity" drives (e
, which allows you to test and publish sequential read/write speeds for specific VID/PID combinations. or help with troubleshooting firmware for this controller? Speed tests typically show: Write Speed: 3 MB/s
: Often uses SanDisk or other generic flash memory chips.
Hardware and software often hide their origins in identifiers like vendor IDs (vid) and product IDs (pid). They’re the silent fingerprints that hint at manufacturing lines, firmware families, and sometimes entire ecosystems of devices. A stray VID/PID can reveal:
Let’s dissect this identifier.
