Default Sentenced to be burnt by USB

Bought a Crucial 128G USB flashdrive, possibly for what a 256G SDD now
costs. Not that old, at least for me, but obviously not new. Four to
five years' of usage is the guess. Now there's intermittent
connection issues, repeatedly re-seating the drive until an access
light goes from long durations of faults cycling a couple or more
seconds, to short flashes 500ms or apart which are a normal indication
to a successful read.


USB 2.0 or USB 3 ports?
Branded PC? What brand and model? Motherboard info?

I suspect it's a power issue, not enough current in the port.
