Question Unable to batch copy to an exFat drive ?

[weybrew]

I have just recently gotten a exFat flash drive and I tried to bulk copy 2 folders. The target flash drive showed the folders rec'd, and both folders showed content file titles but they were all empty. I tried this several times with the same result. On a whim, I tried copying 1 folder. The target flash drive showed the folder rec'd and file contents listed, but this time the files were fully functional. So, copy 1 - yes, copy 2-no. I'm not a techie so I don't understand if I have a problem or if I'm doing something wrong. Windows 10 PC.

What is the size of this flash drive and from where did you get it and at what price? There are a lot of fake drives out there.

Thanks, Titan for your reply. Yes I was given a link to a test program that confirmed that my 2 drives are, indeed fake. For other forum members:

You may have a fake Flash drive - a tool like GRC's ValiDrive https://www.grc.com/validrive.htm should be able to check this for you.
