I am trying to transfer over 19GB of data from a network location to my USB flash drive. This is something I have done many times on various USB drives. The location I am taking the data from is updated regularly so I use SyncBackFree to manually make a 1-to-1 copy once a month. I have done this with other USB drives with no issue. I lost my last 32GB USB drive so I bought a replacement. I formatted it and tried the transfer 6 times. I have tried using Teracopy, SyncBackFree, and the Windows Copy/paste function. I have also tried formatting to NTFS and FAT32.
Each time the properties of the new drive it will either say it has the same amount of files/folders size as the the location I am copying them from, but some of the folders it copied over are empty. Or sometimes it will only copy over 2/3 of the files on the network location. Then I will run SyncBack to fill in the blanks so to speak and it will eventually get to a point where it says my USB drive is full but technically its not. It's seems like it is allocating the space on the USB drive, but not actually copying the files over.
EDIT: Update, I tried transferring that whole 19.2 GB from the network location to my laptop and had no issues. So I assume this means the USB drive is bad?
I am at a loss.
