    Data integrity test for USB sticks and other media

    An advantage over other tools is, that it does not need administrative rights to access the device - but it should not be NTFS formatted, as it does not allow to test everything.

    You can FAT32 format hard drive partitions large.

    MediaTester can test any media (SD, microSD, USB thumbdrive, etc) and verify it stores the expected number of bytes. The testing method is similar to h2testw but MediaTester can detect fake or defective media much faster by performing quick reads as data is written.
