H2testw erkennt gefälschte USB-Sticks, indem es deren tatsächliche Speicherkapazität ermittelt. Auch andere Wechselmedien sowie Festplatten lassen sich testen.

- It's for Windows, and you can run it from a VM (VM Ware Fusion has a free edition, Virtualbox is free, you can install and use Windows 10 without a licence). I know it's in German, you can switch the app to English when you open it.
There was a Mac version called F3X, but it failed to open the last few times I tried it.
There's this too:

- supposedly cross platform, though I've not tried it myself.
Let us know how you get on, good luck!
Tested the H2testw first.
Seems like a good app.
Strangely I couldn't find errors on a 8GB stick, that I tried to use as a boot disk for Elementary OS.
The result was, that the laptop's internal hdd went to "write protected mode" and I accidentally erased the partition map, when I tried to find a fix to this problem.
In macOS, when you attach a storage and OS wants to "initialize" it, it does not destroy anything.
Well, not so in Windows... or was it with TestDisk...should have made some notes back then...
This 8GB stick has amazing slow write speed: 3Mbytes/s and quite nice read speed 14Mbytes/sec.
Maybe that slow write speed messed up things with "modern" OS... had to repair file system few times with it... and the Elementary was REALLY slow with it of course.
Maybe I should at least test the speed of all my sticks...
Now that I have the Elementary OS in a faster / reliable stick, how can I test it's speed?
What is the good storage speed test in linux (ext4).
It amazes me that these three computer ecosystems does not support each others file formats...
