write 0001, read and confirm, repeat until drive is full.

For a fake drive, it'll take awhile, because the underlying storage is much, much slower than it should be, often usb2 speeds.

Realistically, this is just a test that satisfies curiosity without opening the drive. It's obvious when you have a fake drive because it won't benchmark anywhere near what it should.
