Doesn't most flash memory already have some builtin error detection and possibly correction logic already?

- est31 4y agoIt is supposed to have, but apparently cheap flash storage does not have this logic, or it's not working. That's what GP is referring to.
- Spooky23 4y agoFlash sticks are like $2 wholesale parts. The packaging probably costs more than the product in many cases. Every expense has been spared - I wouldn’t trust these things at all unless you are using one of the more expensive SSD devices or something certified for Windows ToGo, etc.
- jeffbee 4y agoAll flash memory devices are wall-to-wall error correction. It's basically math on a stick. The raw media error rates are 1% to 10% which are crazy high. That flash works at all is a miracle of linear algebra.
