My flash drive all of a sudden stopped working in all 3.0 ports, but continues to work in the 2.0 ports on my desktop. It's definitely not the ports as I've been able to successfully connect other usb 3.0 devices to both my laptop and desktop. Any ideas on a solution? I'm starting to think the flash drive is toast. Thanks!

If it doesnt work on another computers 3.0 ports then I would suggest warranty service.
If it does work, then plug it back into your computer, locate it in device manager and delete it. Unplug it for a minute and then reinsert it into the same port. - see if that fixes it. (this reloads the driver by the way)
