Do you explicitly unmount your flash drives, before yanking them
out.

I have to admit that is the one thing I don't do.
Well, there's your problem, then... (quite probably, highly likely).
And, regarding an older message, being "new" is no guarantee of being
good.
Afaik if you unmount it in Nautilus (Gnome Desktop) in the left column
by clicking on the kinda downwards pointing arrow tip next to its name
then it flushes data before unmounting. You can also use the 'sync'
command on the cli (do it multiple times in a row just to make sure).
I've seen several new flash drives that were bad so totally agree with
Tim here. If your problem is not solved by properly unmounting the flash
drive then definitely do test it to see if it's bad.

Patrick
