ASUS BIOS Flashback Fails - Let's Solve it with Kingston DataTraveler!

It seems the BIOS flashback problems regarding the particular USB stick being used isn't tied to EVGA motherboards only. I was recently trying to flash an old bios to my ASUS Rampage IV Extreme motherboard, and it quickly gave the same error I had with the new EVGA boards too.
I really recommend you keep an old USB2.0 based USB stick laying around for this procedure no matter which motherboard you are trying to flash from any manufacturer. When I tried an old USB 2.0 stick it worked just fine.The stick I used on the video is an old Kingston DataTraveler 2GB stick.

A bit left field and off topic but did you get any decent results when your were testing your evga x58 classifieds? I havent seen and hwbot subs with them. I have a e770 classy 3 myslef and plan to bench it on water with 920's and a 990x

I keep old 4GB or smaller USB sticks & SD cards for firmware updates, old systems wont work with devices (camera/audio device/mobo etc) bigger than 4GB.
Iv got a bunch of audio devices that have the same problem, Zoom H1/2/4.

I think the problem can actually be related to the type of the filesystem. My Asus motherboards refuse to work with NTFS but happily accept FAT32 or sometimes even exFAT.

[@daghtus]

Just to confuse you even more: Asus mobo can read NTFS but the actual Asus EZ Flash reports a file integrity error or something like that.

I find sometimes capacity comes into play too, this is part of the reason I keep a 256mb drive from the early 2000s around

That could be a good thing to MB -vendors to include 100% compatible usb-stick with MB.
