Can't format 64 GB USB flash drives as FAT32? by
Ant
Hello.
I noticed both updated 64bit Windows 7 HPE SP1 & 10 EE won't let me
reformat my new 64 GB flash drives as FAT32 (default originally). Their
Explorers only gave me NTFS & exFAT. Why no old FAT32? Not everything
know exFAT & NTFS. :(
Thank you in adance. :)

Problematic SSD or problematic user by
DMP[_6_]
I bought a Crucial MX100 and used it as my primary drive in a homebuilt
PC, that at the time was Windows 7. During the upgrade between Win8 &
8.1, something went very wrong and drive became unusable and it would
not boot. I remove it from the PC and just now decided to give it
another go,...

USB 3.0 card in a PCI slot worth it? by
mike
I'm considering putting a USB 3.0 card in my
Dell Optiplex 360 (XP, LINUX, win10 and win7 test system) to upgrade the
attached backup hard drive.
All the PCI-e slots are occupied.
All the cheap cards are PCI-e.
If the PCI slot is going to throttle the USB 3.0
performance, I should abort.

What are good 2TB drives these days? by
Yousuf Khan[_2_]
I got a 1TB drive in my system. It's had some recoverable bad sectors on
it already, and it's getting a little full anyways. So thinking of
upgrading and replacing it with a 2TB. Any specific brands or models to
avoid or to look for?

Having some hanging issues when doing something on disk by
Yousuf Khan[_2_]
Recently started noticing that whenever I do something like create a new
file folder or sometimes even start a program, Windows 10 just hangs.
While looking at if anything is busy during this time, CPU utilization
seems normal and low, and disk activity is also normal and low. I can't
seem to...

Is it me or are there many unreliable USB flash drives? by
Ant
Either I'm having bad luck or USB flash drives suck even with various
sizes (e.g., 512 MB to 32 GB), well known brand names (e.g., SanDisk),
and cheap/free ones (SP and Patriot ). They don't seems like they don't last longer than a year. I
keep them in my drawers, wallets, etc.
Some just...

Safe to format 4TB to NTFS by
Jim[_38_]
I have used EaseUS Partition Master 11.9 to format my WD Green to the
NTFS format, is this safe to do (safe as in drive not breaking down, and

I fouled up both the clone and the original! by

This is a better-organized version of a post I made in other groups, but
I need more answers and I can't post to 5 groups at once.
This is mostly about NTFS partitions, I think, even though I was running
Vista. (I'm running a bare-bones version of 10 now.)
I have managed to screw up my clone...
