So What Is H-Testing for USB Drives, Really?

I’m at a wine tasting. The kind where nobody is actually tasting anything. Everyone’s holding a glass, nodding politely, and trying to look like they belong in the room.

I bump into a tech mogul. Big CEO energy. Knows markets, valuations, and boardrooms — not flash controllers.

Somewhere between the Pinot Noir and whatever someone insists is “very exclusive,” he says:

“We once had an issue with fake USB drives. Someone mentioned H-testing. What is that, exactly?”

This is where most explanations go sideways. People either oversell it like it’s some kind of security certification, or undersell it like it’s just a quick format.
