Problems with flash drive (but not really?)

[barlowtj]

I have a Corsair Flash Suvivor 32gb, and every time I plug it in to windows, it says that it has detected a problem with it. There has been no data corruption, and no problems have been found by windows. This is on multiple computers too, not just mine.

Flash drives die like any other computer part.

Is it still useable despite the message?

Yeah, I've been using it very frequently everyday, and nothing at all has been effected. It's only 2-3 months old though.

Age means nothing.

I mean you can try giving it a full format and seeing if that makes the message goes away. But if it doesn't I'd be very careful of using that drive for important files.

After an hour of transferring, formatting, then transferring back, that seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks!
