Hello everyone,
I've been using a flashdrive for a while now with this issue and as I store more and more stuff on it I am growing more concerned about it breaking altogether.
I am using a Sandisk 128GB flashdrive. Out of the box I was asked to reformat it, which I thought was normal, so I tried, but it failed to reformat.
Long story short, I plug the drive in, it asks to be reformatted, I remove and try again, it isn't recognized at all, I do this 1-5 times before it works correctly. This is an inconvenience, but I'm willing to put up with it, however I do not want it to suddenly crash for good, effectively erasing a semester's worth of work.
I tried a few troubleshooting methods of different ways to reformat a flash drive and none worked. I'd love a fix, but I'm really looking to see if this is an issue anyone else has encountered and if my drive will inevitably fail or not.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Zach
