I was having problems with one of my usb drives, and while searching for a tool to test it with, I stumbled something called USB Memory Stick Tester, which claims to be able to test usb drives for errors.

It looks like it hasn't been updated in a few years, and before I go and use it I was wondering if anybody has heard of or used it.

Weird little program. Looks like it needs to run from the drive you are testing. Kinda limited, but it might be of some use for someone trying to verify if their drive is toast or not.

Since Bill says it's listed as Portable, if it works well, we could list it in the 'utilities' section for people that can benefit from it.

Wow, I just noticed I still had a signature, that's enough of that.
We need a Memtest86+ type program for flash drives.
