Review on Kingston DataTraveler Micro 3.1 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive - Ultra-Small & High-Speed Silver Drive with Metal Case (DTMC3/64GB) by William Hood

Don't ask, but tell (me) I've found an unusual use for it. The continuous stream of zeros seemed to work fine (fifty-one minutes to fill the drive), but adding the pseudo-random part got me going halfway, then 31% came in and didn't go, and I finally just closed that 32% are unreachable. I will definitely never get to 100% in a few days. This is definitely a non-standard usage, but not unfamiliar to me. I've done the same with _many_ USB drives and prefer the Kingston ones. Aside from a couple of premature drive failures at SanDisk a few years ago, this was the only drive from any manufacturer that bothered me. Large block pipelining for large files? I/O parallelization? whatever) and for me absolutely suboptimal. But non-essential users may need to look elsewhere.
