Chicago (IL) - Sandisk today confirmed that counterfeit Cruzer mini USB Flash drives have appeared in the North American market. The company said that the problem occurs "on a very small scale" and that it works with law enforcement to detect the source of fake Sandisk drives.

At this time, the counterfeit Cruzer minis appear to be limited to a 1 GByte version. Users apparently can identify such devices only after unwrapping the drives, as drive design and packaging is identical with the original drives. However, the copied versions do not carry any software and Sandisk's CruzerLock software denies to be installed on a counterfeit device.
