HDD GURU FORUMS

so my question is there any way to get flash drives smartinfo.i know that normal tools wont show that info.are there any linux tools or software what can do that trick??

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

Try Chipgenius.

HD Sentinel has some support for flash memory cards if that's what you mean https://www.hdsentinel.com/how_to_monit ... status.php
