It is worth a try.
Since it is hard to trust the indications given by a machine (of any sort) that is not working properly.
The "fake drive mode" is just a power saving mode.
It presents the user with a "user storage area" view (to let them know the thing is working) without actually giving access to make changes on the flash.
The flash device can only do read/erase/re-program and the erase/re-program are both power hungry operations.
