I got a few new USB drives at work for testing data centre hardwares. I normally would run f3 on new flash drives but this time the deadline is so rushed so I skipped that. Then I wasted an hour diagnosing a mysterious problem, and eventually I found out the usb drive is faulty after testing it using f3. I then tested all of them and found out 4 out of 8 of them aren’t faulty, some of them died and disappeared. So test your hardwares, test your hardwares that’s used to test hardwares. You will never know you can trust them unless proven. Edit: badblocks, SMART test, memtest86 and memtest86+, prime95, Intel burn test, OCCT, iperf3, etc are equally useful.
