Verifies the reliability of local storage, e.g. flash
F3 stands for Fight Flash Fraud, or Fight Fake Flash, and will tell if a flash drive reports more capacity than it actually has. It writes known data on any local storage until it is full, and in a second phase, it reads all the data back and verifies it. If the storage is reliable, no discrepancies will be found.
