ddaniel51 - I did some more digging. The Kingspec Z3 64gb USB claims to have wear leveling, so your writes will be spread over the entire device over time. The Kingston devices show no indication of wear leveling capability, so I must assume they do not have it. Thus in our YAMon application where a given file is written repeatedly it will write to the same cells repeatedly if you have a Kingston. Doing a little math:

I think I have to declare "Doh!" on my own post. I'm looking through the YAMon files on the /opt storage and not seeing a singular file that is written repeatedly (unless I missed it). So while I still believe the Kingston devices suffered some form of wearout, I'm having trouble finding the supporting evidence. So I stand down on that for the moment.

I've made some smallish changes to the reports... these changes are not available in the full version yet (I'll make that update in v3.4.5 once it is ready for release)

Hi Al - I was anxiously awaiting your reply to aloss post wherein his system hit the "no data collection" issue again. Mine was continuing to run with only a few "unknown device" reports in the Active Connections. So, I thought I would implement the "some tweaks to the reports" suggestion (looked good to me). That installed OK, and it may just be coincidence, but data collection immediately stopped. Before doing anything else I took a screenshot of the Live page as I noticed it IS collecting data for uploads, but no data for downloads. Then I ran the two commands you suggested should a data collection failure occur (see below).

Al - False alarm I think. I had to rush the above out because I had an appt - but now I'm back and find that with the new tweaks I had to enable the display of Active Connections. Once doing that I find that data is in fact being collected (both up and down). I'm still seeing the few "unknown device" issues with each sample, but the majority is being collected. I'll keep checking.
