Hello,

In 20912 I purchased a Raspberry Pi B and a 4GB SD card from RS. [...] I have a couple of Pis (Pi's ?) and both have 8GB Patriot LX series. The newest one had corruption issues 5 weeks ago and I installed anew (because I hadn't made a recent backup). Last night I found it was again corrupt, but this time I had the backup image, which failed to boot. Further cloning and image comparison indicated that the SD card was not writing cleanly. I repeated the clone with a Sandisk Extreme and all is well. Time to see if I can get anywhere with Patriot's 5 year warranty offer.

Anyone know of a usb/disk test program like the memtest86 program?
