USB Memory Stick Tester0.1

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.

Can be used on the go

On of the application's main advantages is that you don't have to go through a setup process to take advantage of it's features, being enough to run it when the download process is finished. As such, you can simply store it on a USB Flash drive to test it out on any computer you plug it into.In terms of design, a compact window holds all functions you get to work with, cleverly-organized in panels that let you adjust a slider, select test power, target drive, a list of detected errors, as well as progress sliders so you know how much you need to wait.

Easy task configuration

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.

To sum it up

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.
