>What's the nature of the corruption Its unclear, file attributes, names, size all appear the same from ls output. I initially discovered it while setting up a local repo, dpkg didn't recognize the deb file output. Diff throws IO errors. Copying with cp appears to work (failing silently) dd & r

What's the nature of the corruption? For example is there too little data? How do you mean "flush of the write buffer"? 3 seconds sounds way too short to actually write the data. I presume you're unmounting the device before ejecting it? Note cp is just doing read/write so unlikely to be the issue.
