Scanning for corrupt or bad sectors on flash memory is illogical and pointless. First of all flash memory chips already have error detection and correction built in, using a variety of techniques to avoid you ever seeing any defects on the device. It is possible that the device could have so many problems that the built-in error correction logic cannot compensate anymore. Bottom-line: at the first notice of any read/write or CRC errors, BUY A NEW DEVICE...!
