I want to do a full format as opposed to a quick format of a 500 GB exfat USB stick. mkfs.exfat seems to be just a quick format since it's immediately done.
The reason I want a full format is that files get corrupted when I copy them to the stick, but seemingly only after about 20 or 30 GB. chkdsk on windows always removes the corrupted files. I also checked for bad sectors, but none are found, same happens on a second PC, so it's probably not a driver issue. Right now I want to do a full format, which takes very long, but I don't want my PC to be on for two days (very slow stick), so I want to use my Raspberry Pi for it. I tried Gparted, but it doesn't support exfat. I feel like it should be pretty easy, just a command to format the stick in exfat, but no quick format

You may have a fake USB device. One that reports a capacity of 500GB but only has 32GB and the mapping that makes it fake corrupts data.

As Dan says, it is entirely possible that your flash drive is not truly 500GB if data constantly gets corrupted after 20-30GB has been written. I would recommend you test the drive to make sure it really can hold 500 GB using either a Linux/OSX tool or a Windows tool, whichever you feel comfortable with.

@dgrogan Oh, thank you, I wasn't aware that wasn't in the exfat driver yet. And my formatting commands make no sense, formatting the ext, zeroing the drive, and then formatting to exfat makes no sense, I really have no clue what I was thinking. I will remove it, thank you.
