Udisk 64GB "not recognized" OpenBh 5.3

[marcus83]

hi,

I have a problem with a USB flash drive, it isn't recognized as USB, but if I mount it as /hdd/ yes, what could it be? or even tried to format it in ext2, but same problem...

@Ev0 can you help me understand?

 

[Ev0]

Afraid not, not every usb stick works with linux boxes.

 

[marcus83]

can you tell me a brand that works 100%?

Sadly not these days.

Years ago any cheaper unbranded ones were the best to use, but now it seems usb sticks don't have any quality control, even with big well known brands and the faster usb 3.x sticks are even worse, some work, some don't, some work and they are extremely fast others work but they are REALLLLYYYYYYY slow.

But you can have 2 sticks exactly the same and one might work ok and the other not work or work very badly.

If you have any try with an SD card with a USB adapter.

honestly no, I'll give it a try... have you ever tried?

Yes, I used to use USB Sticks too but since, if I remember right it was @Ev0 himself to give the clue, I tried the SD card and I never went back to sticks.
Much much faster and reliable.

I didn't have an SD adapter, I purchased it together with an SD card, I'll let you know

I didn't mean to make you spend money, It was a suggestion "if you have it"

I can always use it for something else, it's not even 10 euros

@Ev0 should it detect the USB adapter, in your opinion?

You will just have to wait until it arrives to findout.

hi, Sorry for the delay, but my Amazon package was lost...

I also tried with SD and Micro cards, but same problem, they are not mapped to /USB/, but only in /HDD/.

but the problem is that if I do the backup on hdd, when restoring there are problems and the restore does not continue, for now I will use my old flash drive.
