Thank-you, George.
I tried finding a USB3 flash stick at the local walmart. (My
workstation has USB3 ports as well as USB2 ports. The incremental
back-ups are taking a lot of time using the USB2 sticks/ports.) They
had USB2 sticks only. Once I've bought USB3 sticks in the right size
range, I'll give that a try.
I get the impression from the silence on my first question (better
testing of the stick) that there is nothing. So I'm tagging this thread
"CLOSED".
Bill.
