Does the 16 GB have the same issues? I only need it for storage but if I can't remove when computer is on it's a deal breaker.

I use it on Mac and windows. it is best to "eject" the flash drive before removing it in order to prevent data corruption. you shouldn't have a problem safely removing the drive while the computer is on

Not sure what you are referring to when you ask about the "same issues"? Trying to read between the lines of what you are asking, I can tell you that I regularly use my 16GB SanDisk Extreme on Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8 computers. I've never had any problems safely removing it from any of them. Keep in mind that if an application on your computer--Windows Explorer, a browser, etc.--is still accessing the drive, Windows will tell you it can't be removed safely. I've noticed that Chrome, for example, will "hold" onto a thumb drive after a file download to it longer than I've seen with other browsers. But those cases are Windows or application issues and nothing specific to any particular USB drive. Not sure what you are referring to when you ask about the "same issues"?

Yes, it is not a problem, it is very easily accessible. Not sure if the BIOS would support 16 GB though...you have to check that

Hi, My Lenovo has 8 GB but maybe there are some cheaper versions that come with 6GB as well as less disk capacity . I think it depends on what you read at the site you are checking. regards Michael

Thanks for your reply. I think I'll spend the extra $ for the larger hard drive (and better warrenty even though Asus had the best reliability rating of most other laptops so probably won't need it). I am replacing my ancient Toshiba Satellite and think the Asus is a better value.

It just gives you more storage for pics, apps, videos, etc. if your going to be storing movies or large videos, you will want more storage. I don't, but I take lots of pics, the 16 gig works fine fore me.

Using the 4 GB version. I don't know the official answer but I had a 16 GB card, it recognized at first but then I was having buggy problems (wouldn't turn on) and so I took out the card and it seemed to work better. However I'm not truly sure it was the card. I'm thinking the device is just buggy (have RMA'd once already and still problems. )

All depends on what you plan to use it for.Usually more is better.I have the 16GB unit and that is fine for me.I will never use the 16GB. But if you plan to download a real lot then get the bigger one.There is an expansion slot on all.

hi tiffany. 16gigabyte is the amount of storage on the hard drive, and it is not an SD card. and the amount of storage you might want depends on how you use your ipad. if you're just playing around, 32gb is plenty. but it is my opinion that 16 would run out fairy soon, and I would have no interest in dealing with that. so I chose 64 to just handle it and be done. and you'll see the incremental difference in price for high gigs.

I bought mine in December and had not tried it until I saw this post. I regret to tell you that I could find no fault with this device. I immediately performed a scan on the device just to be sure there was not something hidden and found no viruses or script files. The capacity is as stated in the description minus the formatting. The only issue that I have is that it tends to take up more space and becomes difficult to insert in a slot with other devices plugged in. Please note that it states that it is a USB 2.0 device so it may not work in a USB 1.0 slot. Not sure why your computer tech could not make it work. Good luck in getting it to work.

It says on Amazon 16 GB but mine has 24 GB and recognizes and uses all of it with no problems whatsoever. I'm pretty sure I had read before that it was 32GB before I purchased the extra memory because I ordered it with the laptop. This is the best machine I have ever owned by far and I only use it at home and for connection to my office computers through GoToMyPC which I also highly recommend.

I can confirm 16 gb works. I have not tried larger, as it becomes a moot point. This unit does not support search/browse by folder from flash drive. So if you plan on using more than a couple of folders (which I would presume you would for a drive that size) move on and get a better unit. I very much regret choosing this one.

Hi Craig, Thanks for your useful input. At this stage I think I too should have gone for the 1TB model. Now I can't seem to download video clips onto the 1.5 TB. It starts off OK then freezes and the usual Task Manager solutions don't seem to help and I end up with the dreaded blue screen. I have to switch off and start again. Very boring. If anyone has a solution would be most grateful for help

I bought the 32gb over the 64gb for only one reason a $100.00 savings. I carry 3days worth of music and around 8 hours of video. not to mention all the apps. for me the 32gb was the right decision. Brian

As was already stated it is only for use when using as an android tablet. Unless you are needing a ton of space I do not see the need for going with the 32GB model. I have the 16GB myself and have no issues with it. Another thing to consider is it has a micro sd slot so you can expand it with what size you feel you need. I had a 64 gb micro sd in it for a little but didn't didn't see a need. I love mine and use it often. The software they have for the android isn't the greatest but it works in a pinch. I use mine hooked up to my PC a lot for being able to use native photo shop with it. If they had a version that was comparable to PC or Mac version for android I would use it all the time.

I haven't had that experience, but I am having trouble with the 64 gig memory. I have windows 8 and Office 365 installed and I am out of storage space. Get wierd freezes and messages pretty often now. No way to upgrade the storage either, as far as I know.

I don't have any experience with either of these programs, but being that it is solid state and 1Tb you should not have any storage problems. Sorry I could not be of more help.
