I have a 256 mb usb drive, and I was wondering if I reformat it a few times, will it eventually start to perhaps read or write slower than before I reformatted it? Thanks

on such a small device (any fat formated device) a reformat can't cause any harm, on large hard drives a bad format can lead to errors and systme crashes....but your fine, its not like its a RW disc or something:P

You shouldn't have any problems, but you shouldn't need to keep reformatting it.
