Hello, I couldn't figure out the Erase Block Size of my `Apacer Technology, Inc. Handy Steno 2.0/HT203` flash stick.
As I understand, I have to run test as 1024 multiplied by factor of the stick capacity, is it? So, I ran tests with different blocksizes http://pastebin.com/Zb00RjfM
Alas, I didn't see anything resembling EBS ☹ I could suppose it is either of 16384, 24576, 57344, but searching over the Internet shows that EBS never appears that low. Any ideas?
The erase block sizes have constantly grown in the past, and so have the page sizes. It's possible that this device does not have the classic fixed erase block mapping, but does something else.
My guess is that 24576 is the page size, based on the numbers, so you could try using that as the --blocksize= argument and see if you get any more useful numbers out.
