    pa help naman po .. na try ko na lahat .. Low level, format using DOS and Windows mode

    eto po yung error nya


  • Try mo UsbFix
  • This is already a few months old but... If somehow the flash drive is not readable (but still recognized), it can sometimes be fixed by a low-level format (ie. after trying the high-level stuff first, like TestDisk).

    Low-level format or reprogramming the USB flash drive controller is not for the faint of heart. I have recently tried it though. I had a Silicon Power USB 3.0 flash drive that has errors when I try to read some files. A high-level format (ie. Windows) won't successfully format it (will hang or drop out).

    After reading about reprogramming flash drive controllers, I decided I have nothing to lose (the worse is the flash drive is totally not usable). First, use ChipGenius to identify the flash drive controller.

    http://www.usbdev.ru/files/chipgenius/

    Next you need to find the exact firmware reprogramming tool as per the chipset.

    The same site http://www.usbdev.ru/ (the site is in Russian, so you may need Google Translate to help out) contains low-level programming tools. Be sure you select the EXACT chip before doing any reprogramming. Also, it's a bit difficult to understand the technical terms (plus the low-level programming tools commands are not-exactly-descriptive) so I had to make some guesses as to what they do... But anyway, I was able to find the correct tool to reprogram the flash drive and a high-level format later, the flash drive is working 100%.

    Another thing I overlooked though, if I had directly gotten to Silicon Power's website, they have a low-level reprogramming tool there (it's in their recovery software), which seems to be the same tool that I used (although different version, and Silicon Power's recovery tool does it automatically instead of having to manually use the low-level tool).

    I have just one experience so it's just in case anyone is brave enough to give it a try.
  • I think I bricked my micro sd card, or it was fake

    32 gig sandisk brand, bought direct from ASUS store in the mall, along with an ASUS cellphone 2 weeks ago

    I used it for torrents in a tablet, worked fine. Downloaded 20.8 gigs, it was ok

    then I removed it and reformatted it to NTFS.
    Ran h2testw_1.4 to check for errors. Oddly enough, it showed an error in the last few kilobytes.
    Did crystal disk speed benchmarks. Ran it several times using 2 different known working cdrking card readers on usb 2 and usb 3 ports on my desktop. No problem

    Then I ejected it, put it away then I remembered I had to place a file on it, popped it back in the card reader and ... windows says I need to format it. Tried reformatting but ayaw. Cannot complete format if I use low level format

    I noticed that the card is quite hot.

  • it gets hot even after only less than 1 minute

    and when formatting, it says 30 mb, mb not gb. of course formatting fails.


    Hayy nako, along with a fake 8gig sandisk, I am NEVER buying sandisk again.
  • Try mo iformat ng ibang file system like exFAT.
  • anyone bought those 1TB usb thumb drives being advertised on Lazada?
    cost around P500 for 1TB! skeptical about the quality so I want to find out if anyone have one?
  • ^nakaBILI ng ganyan yung kapatid na 1.8TB sa Lazada.
    pinayuhan ko na sya na Huwag bumuli, e gusto nyang maka-Mura tapos 1.8TB pa ang capacity

    Tinesting ko muna, 1.8TB nga kapag naRead ng Windows
    PERO, Para syang Trash CAN, lahat ng ilalagay mung Files Mawawala or mako-CORRUPT.

    Ayun! nakaTambak lang yung USB di magamit.

    Warning ko na lang at Advise na wag kayu bumili nyan ITS FAKE.
    Pambili na rin sana ng Bigas, naging bato pa.

  • guys may tanong ako. I have 2 micro sd cards, 1 sandisk ultra and 1 sandisk extreme.
    Si Ultra is rated A1, extreme is A2/V30

    bakit pag test ko speed sa hwtest parehas lang ng speed nakukuha ko? bumili na ko ng Ugreen reader na USB 3.1 support..
  • hi po. tanong ko lang po kung normal lang yung ganitong file transfer speed sa SanDisk Ultra SDDDC2-032G 32GB OTG / Dual Drive USB 3.1 Type-C? nakakabit naman sa USB 3.0.

  • I just found out something - the hard way. Some flash drives have a write cache.

    A usb 3.0 sandisk flash drive (on a usb 2.0 port, but its pretty much the same on a usb 3.0 port)




    so far so good right? Well look at a 1 gig file transfer, write speed drops from 17 mb/s to 3-5 mb/s at 800 megs or so




    So once the write cache is filled up, write speed drops

  • this is what it looks like


  • up
  • Strontium Ammo Nitro 64GB.

    Walang kwenta. Ganda pa naman nung metal uni-body nya. Tested on different computers. Taas-baba lagi yung speed ever 3 seconds from 0MB to 60MB/s. Malaki yung files na ginamit ko, from 1GB to 4GB.
