I ran validrive on a no-name "8GB" USB drive that had only 4KB valid. It reported valid regions at the beginning and end but missing regions spread throughout the drive.
test date and time 10/23/2023 at 11:18 AM
declared drive size 8,053,063,680 (8.05GB)
validated drive size 4,096 (4.10KB)
highest valid region 8,053,063,680 (8.05GB)
hub or drive vendor generic
hub or drive product flash_disk
serial number 7a0d99f9
Maybe we should start posting these findings as user reviews on Amazon and other vendors,
Thanks, Steve, for this valuable tool.
