Help.

>insert usb memory into pc
>dont transfer anything
>much later remove it
>day after plug it in to transfer something
>can't be found on any of my PCs

I've come across corrupt ones, but even those can be detected.
This one is simply gone.

What the fuck happened.
>>
You thought the "safely remove usb" was just there as a prank?
>>
>>55222147
First time this has happened to me ever since usb storage became available on the market. And I insert/remove one at least 2 times a day.

And nothing was even transfered.
>>
>>55222162
Maybe try not being an idiot next time.
>>
>>55222096

Niggers stole your 1's and 0's.
>>
You're partition table might be fucked, open up part manager and see if it detects it.
>>
>>55222217
Well memed.

>>55222238
Well my neighbors are black..

>>55222252
That's what I did earlier, it's not detected in any way.

Luckily it's just a cheap thing but still, never happened and never seen it before.
>>
>>55222096

if that's what it looks like, it's definitely low quality shit.

You can tell because it doesn't have a real connector, just some bare PCB pads to save money
>>
>>55222096
If the information is important, I would start by checking the resistors for proper ranges followed by the capacitors with a DMM.

Does it have an activity light? No light = no power. Probably a resistance issue.
>>
>>55222396
Nah it's a different model, it has a metal frame and all that.

>>55222411
No activity light.

Wasn't anything important on it, so I'd skip the effort to check if it's really dead dead.

It's like 2-3 years old, but I have much older ones that are still working.

Just wanted to see if anyone else have had the same issue.

when you remove a usb always use the eject option in your OS, both windows and ubuntu have it.

basically what is does it make sure everything is written to the disk.
>>
Never use eject, never broken a drive. Fuck you sissies. Just wait for activity to stop.

>>55222096
>>much later remove it
Ah, but you did not Safely Removed it.
That's where you dun goofed
