[Misc] what is your GO-TO usb ?

[HelloGoodSir]

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?

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.
