So I got the flash drives in the mail today. I checked the properties when I inserted them into my desktop...each reads 64gb available. Now the true test. I made up some folders filled with music and graphic files...the folder was 6.2gb of data. Then I copied the folder over to my external USB hard drive half a dozen times, renaming the folder each time from data1 to data2 to data3, etc.
Now for the truth...time to copy the 6 data files to the USB flash drive.
It seemed to take forever, which you would expect, but after several hours, you can see from the image below, the folders copied over. Now time to check the files within those folders.
Folder1, everything loaded and worked as it should.
Folder2, everything loaded and worked as it should also.
Folder 3, 4, 5, 6....empty. Nothing in them. No files whatsoever.
Each folder contained over 3000 files and 200 sub-folders. I wonder if I exceeded the number of files you can have based on memory or something.
Or is this proof that I have become the victim of the USB flash drive hoax?
BTW, one of the drives is formatted exFat and cannot be formated NTFS...now what is that all about?
