Format Usb Flash Drive To Exfat Windows 10

The drive is fast and completely quiet, but if you use it with Windows, you should format it as NTFS. It comes as an exFAT, which will work with Mac and Windows, but with Windows it is slow and annoying. The drive has it's own software for formating, but that requires you to be online. Since I use this drive with a DAW that stays offline, I used Windows 10 formating option when I clicked on Properties. Quick format was instantaneous.

I used it to format an SSD, then copy music to it with Windows 10. I am using it with the same drive in my equinox. No complaints.

NOTE TO PC USERS: You might need to format the drive as EXFAT instead of NTFS to copy from the iPad to the drive. I'm surprised at how small this drive is. It's smaller than my card reader. When used with USB C connection (PC), it is crazy fast at moving files. It connected to my iPad Pro flawlessly and plays HD from the drive with no lag. It looks like it was designed to match iMacs and other apple devices (looks great). I'm a PC myself. This drive does not work with my iPhone 11Pro max. I believe it only works with tablets and PC/Macs.

I've used this device for over a year. I used it pretty hard when I first got it. It was a drive for a Windows 10 IoT install on a Raspberry Pi 4 for almost 2 months. The drive still writes data at around 230 MB/s and reads at almost 380 MB/s consistently. On USB 2, it starts at around 300 MB/s but slows down to 6.7 MB/s and stays there for the rest of the transfer. This is a solid USB drive. Best one I've used so far.

If you format on a PC and plan to use it to record an iphone please format in the exFAT format otherwise it won't be recognized.

I use windows 8.1 quite often. On this mac, all drives (except the internal flash drive) are external. Windows runs great off Thunderbolt connected drives. You can have multiple window drives and select the one you want on boot by holding down the option key.

Windows 11 pro in the USB drive very practical

Update can be done without old CPU with USB flash drive only.

We are using a flash drive to store and playback videos on a portable projector. I tried with a USB 3.0 Flash Drive, thinking the newer version was better. But the projector had a different idea. I learned from the professionals at B+H that this unit requires an older USB 2.0 Flash Drive. I never would have thought of that but sure enough, when I used this Verbatim 64G Ergo USB 2.0, the projector recognized the videos and played them flawlessly.

22TB SanDisk Pro G-Drive drive review I'm using this drive in a large photo and film Archive. I purchase a sample drive to test out before committing to more drives. The reformat to Windows is a pain. Luckily, I found a YT video that walked me through it. After reformatting the drive to Windows, the 22TB shrunk to 20TB. That is disappointing. It is not that noisy, just a few clicks once in a while. It is decently fast and really kinda quiet. I am using a USB3.0 port with Oyen adapter cable to go from USB C to USB A. SanDisk only gives you a USB C cable. Time will tell how they hold up, but if they do hold up, I plan to buy a few more.
