Request: USB Memory sticks (High Brooms TN4) Some last and some break, particularly if used on Windows. So I am fixing them by, avoiding using them on Windows. The fix is to run uses Windows Diskpart, Linux hdparm or MAC tools. It is a slow job, you need to leave the PC doing it for days. I am not sure how well this is going to work out, but it did not work on one memory stick and the other is getting better, but I have discarded others over the years. So I am writing about it; Anyway, I recommend doing those things, but if not I could do with a few more memory sticks myself.
