What is the problem and why does dd alone not solve it? I did not read all of them in detail, due to missing time.ĭue to the strange critics below, some explanations. I tried to get together some sources in English. I'm actually searching for an application like those, but for Ubuntu/Linux: Unfortunately I can only find a few information about this on English tech sites. I want to test if all data I write will be readable again. It's not like I want to see if I get 128 GB instead of 127.3 GB. Update: Just to be clear, the idea is to verify that the size the linux system gets told by the controller is correct ( so no data will be lost). Is there an easy way to test this on Ubuntu/Linux? A specialized, well working tool maybe? I read that for Windows, H2testw does the trick. But I hoped there is a more accurate solution. I could also automate it with Hashes and stuff. I could just copy stuff on it, copy it back and look if the files are okay. It's not bought via ebay or something, but I really want to test the real size before using it productively. I recently bought a SanDisk USB drive (128 GB claimed) and want to test its size. I recently read a lot about fake MicroSD card and USB thumb drives that claim to have a lot of space (even if you ask your computer), while physically offering way less.
