I suppose I could just slip it into a regular $0.50 envelope and see if it gets there : ) My only other concern is that it might cost half as much in postage as the drive cost to send this sucker back to them and if so I'll see how adamant they are in insisting that I send it back rather then just sending me a new one.
Sounds like they are at least considering that the device may have failed. Thank you for submitting your online RMA request OTOH I submitted an RMA request and heard back from them the next day. I guess I got cold feet on these two suggestions. You know since this was only a $US 10.00 flash drive I was somewhat hesitant to use a reg file fearful that it might somehow upset the rest of the apple cart so to speak same with mucking around in the GPE though I have used reg files before as well as my share of "mucking" around in the GPE. OPTION FIVE Allow or Deny Write Access to Removable Drives not Protected by BitLocker in Group Policy OPTION FOUR Enable or Disable Write Protection for USB Drives using a REG file Update: None of the suggestions worked BrinkĮnable or Disable Disk Write Protection in Windows That screen shot is just a generic "guide" outlining the steps to take which I saved for reference and does not represent my physical 32GB Sandisk drive. Hope this helps.> The DiskPart screenshot shows the USB stick recognised as only 8GB, not 32GB. IMO it's a very interesting read, if nothing else. Have a look at this RMPrepUSB article for (much) more info about testing for fakes and download links for testers. I've used tools like PassMark BurnInTest, ChipGenius, RMPrepUSB's FakeFlashTest, Flash Drive/Card Tester and H2testw to determine the 'real' tested capacity versus the 'claimed' (and entirely 'fake') capacity and whether chip controllers are branded or generic. Have you checked that it's a genuine SanDisk Ultra stick and not a fake 8GB stick re-engineered to appear like the capacity is 32GB? Suddenly showing a reduced capacity and changing behaviour is also a classic symptom of a fake stick when you copy files over to it that overwhelm its 'real' capacity.
