| 432607 | 2006-02-21 19:17:00 | I have posted on this vexing topic before but here is another one :) I bought a 1gig myflash usb stick and found that in moving data it would disconnect from the computer . You get that anoying 'ding dong' sound and then a message about the file being unable to be moved as the device had gone . Windows then finds it again and it loads that 'Removable disk' window with the options to play, open etc . This happened with the first 1gig stick I got so I returned it thinking it broken, the replacement stick is doing the same now as well . The spontanious disconnects seem to happen when under load, moving a large program, folder etc . Short quck moves don't seem to affect it . So I am reduced to moving sub folders singularly instead of just moving entire main folders . It happens on all sorts of machines, mine has XPSP2 and all updates, another XP SP1 etc . Is it a bad brand? I have scoured the net looking for an answer as its sometimes almost unusable but no one else seems to have the same issues . I loaded the drivers for the stick and tried every fix I could find . nothing seems to work with it . Any help gratefully recieved . |

| 432609 | 2006-02-21 20:01:00 | Are you saying the same stick has issues with different pc's?. If so, there is your answer!. Not all USB stick are as good as others! Is it a DSE |

| 432611 | 2006-02-21 22:19:00 | Its called myflash this one -- . adata . com . tw/en/products-f-usb-pd2 . htm" target="_blank">www . adata . com . tw After the trouble I went through in trying to get the other one replaced, I really can't take this back as well . I'm not that combative . . . . It spontaniously disconnects either using the cable, (which is my usual method) and without, and in any usb slot . sigh . . . can anyone recommend a drive that DOES work properly . |

| 432612 | 2006-02-22 01:25:00 | Yes, the Transcend 110 Jet Flash Drive. Some months ago I had similar problems with MyFlash, and others. Someone on this forum recommended the Transcend drives. I checked the reviews on Tomshardware.com, which rated it very highly. It comes in 128, 256, 512, & 1GB capacities. I got the 1GB drive from Ascent, and it has been very satisfactory. Never misses. Works fine on both XP & Win98se PC's I have. |

| 432613 | 2006-02-22 02:45:00 | I've had trouble with Transcend also. I think because prices are so cheap on USB stick, that it's hit or miss whether you get a good one. Always backup your USB drives. |
