I like them both, but I use Storage Tools. It will defragment, scan for errors, and format.

I was under the impression that a defrag of "solid state" memory was redundant...... That it has no platter, so no need to defrag.

I mainly use the scan feature. I have never used the defrag, so I don't know.

I chose Storage Tools over Flash Format primarily because Tools did defrag & appeared to work with more types of hardware.
Flash format can set cards to autorun.
I think both are similar so depends on what features you place more value on.

Flash format is apparently free. I lie. By CNetx http://www.cnetx.com/Format/wizard.asp downloading now :)
On installation, it says it's only for 14 day evaluation & so I haven't installed it yet.

It is just an evaluation copy. From the link you provided:
Download Info
This download can be installed either as an evaluation version or as a full registered version.
It then goes on to tell you how to register.
