@ThioJoe : Great job showing ValiDrive! (which I wrote) I think I’ll link to this video from the program’s home page since many people would appreciate seeing it go! Thanks! :) And very slick additional graphics to clearly show what’s going on. Very nice!

My reply:
The OG himself.  Wish ValiDrive existed 18 years ago, especially that it saves time unlike other tools out there like H2TestW and FakeFlashTest. I remember back then having to reflash the firmware on a fake Kingston USB flash drive using some tool I found thanks to ChipGenius on one of those Russian and/or Chinese sites, so the size changed from 2GB to 128MB. I ended up using it as a bootable floppy disk alternative for old DOS programs using that win98 files with HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool trick. Good times.
