Slight tangent, but once getting new flash, test it.
I recommend using f3 on any new USB stick. It's in Fedora repo. The
project is originally intended to identify fake flash. It'll report a
larger capacity than it has flash memory for, and has firmware that
does a loop. Super convenient that if you never hit the loop, you
don't find out; and if you hit the loop, it overwrites and corrupts
earlier data - sad panda. But it also will test for any kind of
corruptions or read errors, not just bogus flash.
It's also reasonable to use it for "burning in" hard drives - it's
just writing a bunch of pattern tests and reading them back in. It
doesn't matter what file system you use to format the device. Format,
mount, f3write /mnt then f3read /mnt. That's it. My opinion is
anything brand new that has even one error, send it back. It's not
like it's gonna get better with age!
Well i have only heard getting worse with age not better . I will
certainly
give this f3 a try . Never heard of it before . As for the unit in
question ... ohh well ,
after formatting it with NTFS on a windows machine that i have around
here ( sister uses it )
the unit works perfectly under linux too . Not sure about what on
Heavens happened but
it would seem a nice format did the work Actually the original idea
belongs to Billy Davis not me
and it did worked out for the best . Am a bit curious as to what this f3
utility is going to say
