Get some Old, cheap and as small as possible USB-Sticks.
Especially when they are small you should be able to reach the
overwrite-limits relativly fast (Which may still be counted in days)
Depending in model you should be able to get some interesting errors,
maybe even total breakdowns.

cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
