(W7)File Copy Fail


Recommended Posts

Maxell is a known dud brand for a lot of stuff, including thumb drives.

I know personally I tend to use Kingston DataTraveler sticks. I haven't had one fail, and I know on my old team we used them for everything and didn't have any of them (we had a ton of them) ever fail or have issues.

There are some other good brands too. I always recommend doing serious review digging before buying anything though, but that's just me.

Data Travelers are definately great USB sticks. I've had one banging around in my car for over two years and never have any probems with the data on it.

I've got one (4GB) I've washed multiple time and takes a lot of abuse, and it's going strong after 3 years. The other (16GB) I had less than a year and has problems as mentioned. I use Teracopy for my transfers.

Try it on another computer?

Either that or turn off your computer, wait 10 second and try again, if the controller locked up it would have the same issues >.>

yup tried on two different pcs,

wont format, wont kill.

Mountain Dew,I find it satisfying to pry it open, then use a nice pair of wirecutters to slice the chip in half, then in half again along the perpendicular to the original slice.

haha :) I was thinking clingfilm wrap, then microwave till pop......... ;)

btw, interesting and informative discussion so far :)
