I don't know if i could post this here, but i'll give it a shot.

The problem is, I bought a 64GB flash drive from a tuner (brand new). When I carried it home, the drive was showing on the pc as it should, (didn't copy any files yet). The problem that I'm seem to be having is that, when I transfer a file, it gets corrupted while copying. Tried it on my laptop, and on my desktop to see if it was a windows problem but they were both doing the same thing. I tried reformatting the drive to NTFS but it says "windows cannot complete the format". The format that it is currently in is exFAT. It is reading properly, but not working properly. Any ideas what i can do?

Sorry to hear bro, if that's the case with my own, then these fakes looks very legit. The model I bought was the Data Traveler 150, the packaging an stuff seemed very original.

Does it have a serial # on the drive? if not its fake.

bassotronics · Postby **bassotronics** » May 14th, 2012, 3:59 pm

^^ Just checked, it doesn't have a serial number, also google'd the packaging and the back is different to mine

Here's the back of the one the tuner sold me.

Here's how the original looks.

Arranged today to get the flash exchanged, turns out that all the 64GB's they have is getting this problem. I took a refund back, I think I might just buy an external hard drive. What's the cost of a WD Passport 1tb external HDD?

http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital- ... 587&sr=8-1

I am using one of those cost me like 750.00

bassotronics · Postby **bassotronics** » May 17th, 2012, 10:26 pm

^^ Hmmmm not bad, but I think I'll buy an external HDD instead now. Will be worth it later down also.

yes you should invest in one of the shockproof ones .

bassotronics · Postby **bassotronics** » May 18th, 2012, 8:19 am

^^ Will definitely do that, with pc's you'll always need storage.
