Samsung Magician checks the drive to see if it’s genuine, I haven’t heard of any thwarting of that so far and it’s mentioned in the article that it correctly identified the counterfeit. What I do is check Samsung Magician genuine check first, then do its performance test, then use h2testw to fill it and verify that it passes fully. It’s a lot of work but it’s better than ending up with counterfeit stuff!
