USB flash drives: How to fix

usb-flash-drive

I have recently purchased some so called 256gb Kingston drives that are fake

I used a program called check flash and few other to check for dead sectors and read speed and read and write speed

the results are as follows:

they were reading at 1.35 mbps at best
they read and wrote at 0.95 mbps
and had a hell of a lot of dead sectors

so what I ask is:

  1. Is there a way to drop the size to improve speed
  2. Is there any other way to improve speed
  3. How can I stop the device from addressing the dead sectors

Yeah, some people I work with got burned with similar ones. Bin them, they'll never work.
