Is this in Windows or Linux?
What version of BIT was used?
What were the test settings in the test preferences window for the disk test?
Did the error happen right at the start of the test, or after some period of time?
What make and size was the USB drive?
Is there any possibility it might be a counterfeit drive?

This error is logged when BurnInTest has requested the disk the seek to a specific location in the test file and the actual seek call by the device driver has failed to seek to that requested location.
This is not a common error so we can't say for sure what the cause of such an error would be.

we can say this is because read the specific location data fail (Read Fail)
The seek operation failed. Which is strange as as seek doesn't do much for a USB drive. So there isn't many ways to imagine how it can fail. Seeking beyond the end of the drive, or before the start, would be one possibility. But it is unlikely. Corruption of the MFT might be another reason. Would be hard to know for sure without a forensic analysis and further tests.
It might be just a one off error. Computers (and flash drives) aren't 100% stable when running over periods of days.

Hi,
A lot of time has passed since this entry was originally posted by Fangli_33 back in 2013 - any chance there is any new information about such errors?
I am getting the same error:
"LOG NOTE: 2019-06-03 05:37:04, Disk, Disk Error (C: Seek size requested not equal to actual in Cycle 454607 with pattern Butterfly seeking."
This is also a SSD (eMMC form factor in my case). And also a Toshiba device(?) (similar maybe to Fangli_33?)
My log file follows; (I have multiple more of the same errors since this first one was captured. I can get that log file update if it is useful)

Many machines won't run this long under load without getting a soft error.
What's the quoted write endurance figure for the SSD?
Also, you are running a old version of BurnInTest. In newer releases we don't bother running the butterfly seeking test as it doesn't really make much sense to do this for a SSD.
Butterfly seeking moves the drive head from one edge of the platter to the other, but SSDs don't have platters. This should not cause an error for a SSD, but it isn't doing what the test was designed to do.

Yes indeed - the test has been running 100% for a long time now. (Actually, we started on 02 NOV 2018, running 100% on most sub-systems as stated.)
I can't find published endurance ratings for the specific device. We are trying to validate them against standard MLC device ratings.
These errors started just a few days ago, and are now recurring, so it appears that something is breaking down in the SSD... ON the 64GB size devices from the same family, the first failures that occurred were actual read/write failures, so I was expecting similar for this 128GB device.
Understood on the butterfly test no longer being truly valid on SSDs. I'll stop the test and restart it without the butterfly enabled if I can figure out how to do that.
Any other ideas or comments are appreciated.
Thanks.
