Professional USB flash drive testing, verification, and repair tool for Windows.

• Drive Detection — Auto-detect USB drives with detailed hardware info (WMI)
• Speed Test — Sequential read/write, random 4K IOPS, and data integrity verification
• Capacity Verification — Detect fake/counterfeit drives with block-by-block validation using SHA-256
• Format — Quick or full format with exFAT, NTFS, or FAT32
• Repair — CHKDSK integration for filesystem error correction and bad sector recovery
• Risk Assessment — Automatic analysis of suspicious drive characteristics
• Reports — Generate detailed TXT or HTML reports

• Windows 10 or later (x64)
• .NET 8 Runtime (included in self-contained build)
• Administrator privileges for Format and Repair operations

• .NET 8 SDK
• Inno Setup 6 (optional, for installer)

Writes and reads a test file using FileOptions.WriteThrough (bypass OS cache) to measure true sequential speed. Random 4K tests measure small-file performance (IOPS). Data integrity is verified with SHA-256 hash comparison.

Writes blocks of deterministic random data across the drive, then reads them back and compares SHA-256 hashes. After each new block is written, the first block is re-verified to detect overwrite corruption (the hallmark of fake drives).

Analyzes drive characteristics to flag suspicious indicators:

• Generic manufacturer/model names (common in counterfeits)
• Unrealistic capacity claims (>512 GB for USB flash drives)
• FAT32 filesystem on large drives
• Non-standard sector sizes
• Unhealthy SMART status
