Thread: 2gb Flash drive and OS X

  1. 2gb Flash drive and OS X

    I just got a brand new 2gb USB flash drive. When I try to copy two 700 mb files onto it, it freezes at the '1 gigabyte copied' mark. I tried formatting the usb drive with different FAT sizes, yet nothing helps. Yesterday I returned the product, believing it was faulty, yet the new product acts exactly the same way. My old 128mb flashdrive never gave me any problems.

    What am I doing wrong?

    edit. the lights on the usb drive goes out when it hits the 1 gig limit. I'm so returning this product.

  2. What brand USB flash drive did you buy?

  3. Seems weird... get Windows. lol... Have your tried just copying one 700mb file at a time? Format it FAT 32 and try to just copy one of the 700mb files. And make sure that brand is completely compatible with OSX.

    They claimed compability on the box, but I guess they lied. Yes, I tried everything, and its a no-go.

  9. I bought the Corsair 2GB Voyager USB 2.0 Flash Drive last year for school and I love it so much I want to marry it . I read a lot of online reviews for flash drives and this one came out to be the most reliable in 2006. It's only $24.99 at Buy.com (Free Shipping!), but I'm sure that if there is an online coupon code available, it can be had for less.
