    [Misc] what is your GO-TO usb ?

    In house, before machines hit the field.

    We have a sandisk 2 gb 2.0 usb drive and we've never had a problem with it always worked for both firmware animation voice etc.

    Now I have 3 mono bizhubs (364E) that all wont accept my drive. Any ideas?

    Figured I'd buy a fresh drive but wanted input if there was a certain brand that works best?

    got a microcenter near you? their 4g drives work for years and have been through my laundry several times and still work 100%

    forgive the dumb question, where are you plugging the drives into the copier to do FW?
    We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
    The medication helps though...

        Use the proper software Eject button before removing the USB-stick from the computer USB slot.
        Otherwise if you rip it out you risk getting a corrupt USB stick. Its not a matter of if it will corrupt, but when it will corrupt.
        You obviously haven't lost a lot of good e-manuals or file data on a USB stick by ripping the USB-stick out of the slot.

        Try putting 32GB of e-manuals back onto a USB stick every time you've been in such a hurry on a job site.
        You'll soon learn to slow down a tad an eject the USB stick the proper way, like I do now. I have Terrabyte HDD USB drives now. Takes around 5 hours to reload the data back onto 1TB HDD.
