As an aside, are flash devices any more reliable? I also remember the days of floppy disks when you could turn on verification so that every write was followed by a read of the same sectors, a performance cost but usually worth it in circumstances demanding higher levels of assurance.
Yes, but floppies could also be a problem if the drives had variances anyway; you may be able to write and read using the same floppy drive, but it may fail on another drive. Flash is pretty good these days, rarely do I see any problems. Cheers A.
