Hey all. I just recently bought a Corsair 64GB USB flash drive on Newegg for what seemed like a really good price. Upon receiving the item today, I was a little disturbed to see a "Factory Reconditioned" logo on the packaging. Now I can occasionally miss things, but I swear that Newegg never had anything about being refurbished on the product page (which has since been updated). That's typically something I will always notice. Even my order confirmation and invoice emails don't say anything about being refurbished/reconditioned. The price seemed a little low in retrospect, but I still feel like I've been bait and switched.
Anyhow, I'm debating whether to pop this thing open. It was a good price and I don't feel like dealing with the hassle, but flash also has a limited number of write cycles (even if it's unlikely to be an issue), and Corsair only gives it a 30 day warranty. I'd feel better about it if there were a way for me to test the drive.
Is there any software out there which can test the number of writes/wear level of various types of flash devices?
