Re: Backup to USB

Holger,

The drives get rotated and they all seem to have the same problem. I need to find out if they got a brand name.

Mark,
how often has that thumb drive been used? Is it a „cheap“ one, or maybe one which is eligible for fakes
(like some well known brands here in europe where you buy Kingston and get Chingston)…

Test a big write to that stick on your PC.

Betreff: Re: Backup to USB

Larry,

When it was working "properly" it seemed to run reasonably quickly. Since it's an overnight job a *little* faster or slower doesn't matter. It's when it's many hours that there's an issue.

Do you know if there are issues specifically with larger capacity sticks, e.g. larger than 128GB or 256GB?

These sticks are nearly new and they get rotated.
