99% of flash drives present themselves to the OS as a USB mass storage device which has no concept of smart information. If a flash drive is running particularly slow, has read/write errors, or disconnects randomly then its time to toss it and get a new one. If you need the data off, then you can try making an image with ddrescue first.

Some MP Tools will tell you the number of bad blocks but it varies by controller vendor
