Hi I was on wish.com and I did see some pen drives. One was U Disk Pen Drive 2TB usb 3.0 and USB 3.0 OTG Usb Flash Drive Metal Pen Drive 128gb. Know I want to know if these are real and i think i need a software that can see the real size and see if real usb 3.0. Can any one help me with this?

The 2tb is fake. There are none irl.
The 128 could very well be real but the price may say otherwise.

Chipgenius is what i would begin with.
deeply suspicious of any thumb drive that claims a 1TB or more capacity.

I believe this is the only 1TB actually manufactured and as you can see the price is insane. https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-DataTraveler-Predator-1TB-DTHXP30/dp/B00E65QM8O

There are legions of high capacity thumb drives, external hard drives and even some "cheap" internal hard drives that lie about their real storage capacity.

edit: also reputable site makes no difference for this scam. Amazon is full of bogus products like these.
