<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 24661905, member: 27832&quot;]I can&#039;t be much help here, because I use Windows only for work, and I use only the hardware they issue to me on that machine.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I were trying to test a drive I&#039;d gotten for myself, I&#039;d copy a few hundred GB of photos onto it, then spot-check throughout to make sure none show up corrupted.

Or maybe that was a card that I misformatted; I don&#039;t remember any more. In any event, the only way I could tell was by storing lots of stuff onto it, then realizing that older stuff was getting corrupted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
