I was given one as a gift that turned out to be dodgy (most embarassing for the both of us). The friend who gave me tested it and didn't find a problem, but every test I did showed one: Corrupted files. I had to fill the drive past a certain point before the errors occurred, and it didn't matter whether it was Windows or Linux... Since then, I test new flashdrives. I fill them almost full, then use "diff" to check for errors. -- (This box runs Centos 5.0, my others still run FC 4, 5, 6, & 7, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
