Not sure why I bought 64 GB USB 2.0 flash drive many years ago. If I just want to zero it out now, it manages to cross 6 GB mark in ~20 minutes. Probably, the least useful device in my collection of unused devices.

@vbabka I did just like that: back in Kyiv, I had two of them in RAID10 (f2 layout) inside my home server. I don't remember why.

@vbabka Are you able to read the FS on a non-PPC machine?
