Isn't that what the factory settings are? When was the last time that you checked a new flash drive that wasn't like that?

Factory settings could be anything. It seems weird for a program to claim to set things back to factory settings unless it has some way to look up device ID and find out what they were. Otherwise it would seem to be better to say the drive will be reformatted with a vfat file system or whatever is really going on.

Certainly some drives come with specific data on them. I have gotten some promo ones with logos and some data relevant to the company handing them out.
