64gb Usb 3.0 Flash Drive

[Muriel Trettin]

Ijust purchased a 64gb sandisk cruzer flashdrive from Best Buy. Plugged into a Windows 7 64bit laptop or desktop, I get a message that the drive needs to be formatted. Formatting fails, and the drive is then unusable.

You assume wrongly. I have the same problem as the o/p - the message from l/t Win7-64 is that I need to format the Sandisk 64GB. Every other USB device I have plugged into the l/t (purchased new 3 days ago) works faultlessly, with no security prompts

I just bought 5 Cruzer Fit 32gb USB Flash Drives. The first time I plug it into my Win7 64bit it works perfect. The second time I plug it into the same machine it does not. I plug it into a Win7 32bit it works perfect everytime. Is there a firmware update for the flash drive?

As fast as USB flash drives are, copying files always seems to take a little longer than you'd like. The advent of the USB 3.0 interface puts an end to that. You can move files back and forth in a fraction of the time it takes with standard USB 2.0 flash drives, and the proprietary water-resistant rubber housing helps keep those files safe.

Of course, Flash Voyager USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0. Even if you haven't yet upgraded your PC to USB 3.0, it's still a great choice for convenient, reliable portable file management, and the additional performance will be ready when your PC is.

So i've tried searching around for an answer and i cant find anything related to it. I used the usb to recover a friends windows laptop and at that time it had also said it had 64gb on the drive. But after it was used it only allowed a maximum of 34gb on the drive. While i was looking through disk utility I clicked show all devices and this came up..

So i don't understand why its saying its only 34gb when on the physical disk its saying theres 61gb. the usb I'm using is a 64gb usb and always has been. If i could have some help finding out whats wrong with it that would be great.

@celliott147 is correct, that there may be free space on the drive which is not part of any partition. Within Disk Utility click on the physical drive like you did in the last picture "SanDisk Ultra Media". Erase the physical drive as GUID partition and the file system of your choice depending on how you intend to use the drive (MacOS Extended, APFS, or exFAT).

So I'm aware that it isn't recommended to run a full Ubuntu install on USB sticks due to the limited read/write cycles as compared to traditional SSDs or hard disks, and the USB connection limits write speeds etc..

It doesn't make sense to use an expensive 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive for a full installation of Ubuntu due to the limited read/write cycles as you mentioned. All you need for it is an inexpensive 16GB USB flash drive. How do I install Ubuntu to a USB key? (without using Startup Disk Creator).

I have a 64GB flash drive onto which I've previously dd'ed a Debian installation. I'd like to do this again (dd a complete Debian install from my machine onto the flash drive) but I've run into some bizarre problems, described below:

So to summarize: the flash drive /dev/sdb seems to be 58GB (8 smaller than it used to be) but only a few hundred MB seem to be visible in two partitions. Just writing directly to /dev/sdb seems to only expose 8GB.

EDIT: to clarify, the biggest problem here is that I can no longer access 58GB of the drive. dd reports no space left after writing some 8GB. lsblk insists that that device is 58GB, but fdisk agrees with dd on the device only being 8GB.

I'm trying to create recovery media, and have a 32Gb Sandisk Cruzer Facet that I was intending to use for it. Unfortunately, Recovery manager doesn't recognize the flash drive...it never shows up in the menu at all. The drive shows up when I click the computer icon in the files section, with no issues at all, as you can see.

SanDisk changed the firmware in their newer products so that the USB drive appears as a local drive and not as a removal media device. The older HP Recovery Manager keys on this information and that is why the HP Recovery Manager doesn't recognized your flash drive. Review the below information that was compiled by Erico.

By chance, do you happen to have another functioning computer you can use? If so, you can review this document from HowToGeek regarding backuping up files. A live version of Linux is one that is operated from the DVD drive and is functional without overwriting the installation of Windows so long as the try ubuntu without making changes option is selected.

NOTE: This method is not endorsed by HP and HP is not responsible for the results. This method is a little techy. I am not familiar with your technical knowledge, so I will also give another option. You can purchase an external hard drive enclosure like this one. They are usually fairly cheap and is typically the easiest way to get data off a hard drive when the operating system won't boot.

I've tried old and new usb pens (front and rear) and nothiong is recognised by the recovery manager - I bought a new USB pen for this purpose so will HP refund the money or send some free disks as the patch doesn't seem to have arrived?
