Check Flash (ChkFlsh for short) is a tiny and free app for testing and formatting flash drives, developed by Cherkes Mihail from Ukraine. In addition to surface testing, it also allows to check the speed of reading and writing, edit partition info, save and restore full drive and partition images, save and restore MBR, and perform full drive or partition data erasing.

Check Flash is a small and handy program for testing and formatting memory cards, USB Flash drives, removable hard drives, and other storage devices. It supports action types such as Read Stability Test, Write and Read Test, Low Level Initialization, Save Image, Load Image and Full Erase; allows user to customize the test length (full cycle test, continuous test, specified test cycles, until first error found); is able to detect the physical drive error (i.e. bad sector) and logical data error of Flash drives; and supports many command line parameters.

As a simple, professional and practical disk detection software, Check Flash is mainly used to quickly test the performance and quality of USB Flash drives or memory cards. In fact, it is also a disguised USB Flash data eraser, and is often used to verify the authenticity of USB Flash drives (that is, whether a Flash drive has been artificially expanded in size). In a word, when your USB Flash drive started to have some weird problems such like unable to read or write data correctly, do remember to use this tool to do an authoritative test.

  • By default, it only tests removable storage devices. If you need to test the local hard disks, please directly run the ‘Danger.bat’ file instead.
  • If you run Check Flash with “/ALL” parameter, you will kill any other disk other than flash drive.
