USB Memory Stick Tester

Hardware components wear off in time and can get damaged through intense use and pressure, not just through physical interaction. Memory units are the main subjects of possible failure, especially USB Flash drives, since they're constantly plugged and unplugged to perform multiple read/write operations. In this regard, USB Memory Stick Tester gives you the possibility to test them out to see how well they perform and whether or not you should consider purchasing a new one.

Features:

• No setup process required, simply run the application after download


• Compact window design with adjustable sliders and panels


• Ability to select test power and target drive


• List of detected errors and progress sliders for monitoring

Specifications:

• Requires Windows operating system


• Considerable time needed for full, maximum test


• Maximum of four passes and test size specified in percentage


• Issues displayed with no repair options

Make sure to plug in the device you want to test before running the application because it's not automatically detected afterward, nor a refresh button to bypass this issue. Only the drive letter is displayed, so you might want to take batch testing step by step.

Prepare to sit idly by for some time because it can take a considerable amount of time for a full, maximum test to be performed. However, time is mostly determined by the number of passes you choose to be used, which can be a maximum of four, as well as the test size, specified in percentage. Issues are displayed in the list, with no way to fix them other than other utilities or full replacement of the device.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that USB Memory Stick Tester comes in handy to check storage devices for issues, in case you notice a considerable drop in performance for read/write operations. Although only serving as a means of analysis, with no repair, format, or defragment options, it's easy enough to use by anyone and does a pretty good job overall.
