subjective

This model is garbage. It is a data destroyer: all three revisions corrupt user data. A storage device should either return valid data XOR return error when ECC mismatches. I observed all three return non-predictable random data. Not an excusable mistake, such as wrong data which coincidentally matches checksum, which would result in deterministic incorrect data. This Stick model returns different data every time bad spot is read.
