Thank-you, Michael, for both posts.
I've installed it.
It looks like it will take a while to run, and it's late here now.  So I'll give it a try tomorrow.

-bash.4[~]: f3probe --time-ops /dev/sdb
F3 probe 8.0

WARNING: Probing normally takes from a few seconds to 15 minutes, but
         it can take longer. Please be patient.

Probe finished, recovering blocks... Done

Good news: The device `/dev/sdb' is the real thing

Device geometry:
	         *Usable* size: 57.30 GB (120176640 blocks)
	        Announced size: 57.30 GB (120176640 blocks)
	                Module: 64.00 GB (2^36 Bytes)
	Approximate cache size: 0.00 Byte (0 blocks), need-reset=no
	   Physical block size: 512.00 Byte (2^9 Bytes)

Probe time: 1'17"
 Operation: total time / count = avg time
      Read: 21.76s / 4197137 = 5us
     Write: 54.71s / 4192321 = 13us
     Reset: 0us / 1 = 0us

That took a lot less time than I anticipated.

Tim:
I saw your post.  Thank-you.  I understand.

Michael:
I saw your early-this-morning post. What you said makes sense.

Everyone/Anyone...
Follow-up questions:
1. For a new stick, does the --destructive option matter?
2. What is the --reset-type option about?
3. What's taking up all that 6.7 GB (64 GB - 57.3 GB) unavailable space?  That's a lot!
