A different response: There are a lot of "fake" flash drives being sold. Fake means that they are cheapo 1 GB drives reprogrammed to report that they are 16 GB drives or something like that. If you are lucky, you can store 1 GB on them; if you are not lucky, they act as digital shredders.

Here's a link to the tool I run on all my new microSD cards: http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/ [...] it-drives/ .

It tests all the memory locations, so it can determine if the flash is faked, or just has huge sections of defective memory.

** Have at least two copies of everything that you want to keep long-term. **
