Go to Silicon Powe website and download software for your Firma. You can diagnostic your flash drive.

No idea. I just purchased and had mine delivered recently. I haven't used it yet. Sorry :(

I have a 250 GB hard disk, and less than 50 GB are taken by system stuff (windows etc.)

I've got a 64 GB in mine and it works fine. Update: I got a 128 GB micro sd formatted fat32 and it works fine as well...

good evening, I will actually install a 32 gb and not think of any problem, now I have a 16 gb and goes just as well.

if you plug it in to use port and it says 4 gig. then reformmating wont help. oppen my computor and right click on the removabe disk it will tell what you how much free space there and a used space add them together it will give you total.(but sounds like to me you got the wrong flash drive)

Actually it depends on which filesystem you use. The USB stick came formatted in the FAT32 file system which, from what I can tell from online searching, is limited to individual files of 4 GB in size. If you format it to NTFS is should be able to hold much larger files, but not all devices may be able to read the stick.

My drive failed data transfers and was unusabe. It showed 256G but even 4G could be stored and retrieved before it was loosing files and crashing. Would not recomend unless you were interested in saying you have a 256G drive that you can show. Just dont use for anything you want to keep.

It's because those are 1000MB Gigabytes instead of the 1024MB Gibibytes Windows use to measure the size, Those can also be called Gigabytes, hence the confusion. If you plug it on a mac it will say it's 30GB, but the file sizes will also seem bigger so no additional data can be stored

Likely it is FAT32, or maybe NTFS. Go here, and just format to FAT. http://download.cnet.com/USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool/3000-2094_4-75984825.html Use caution you are formatting the correct drive letter, or you may have disastrous results, by accidentally formatting an external drive, or SD Card.

that is because your computer is partitioned at 32gb you have to repartition your drive so your computer will see the drive for it's real size so before you start storing anything on that drive you have to repartition it on your computer so the machine will see the true size of the drive is this an external drive or an internal drive ethere way you will have to repartitiion it if you don't know how to repartition a drive you will need good backup software to do it so i would suggest do a complete backup of you old drive most good backup software will have a format or drive repartitioning feature in the software but be cautioned when you do this type of procedure you will destroy any ao all data on that drive and it will be unrecoverable so proceed with the backup first.

After Formatting it and the OS takes almost 11% of the formatted Drive... 806GB is Available of the 1TB ,which in my opinion it's still a lot, can't really say on the 500GB though

Mine says 74.4G. I've got about half of the space used, and I have quite a few files, photos, etc. on here.

I've would suggest not installing a previously used drive (assuming you have an old 5400rpm drive lying around, hence your question). When I installed a used drive (not formatted) it crashed the system. It only seems to like new, formatted drives. Mine does happen to be a 7200rpm WD

As commenter Super Geek suggests, if you're using a PC, then you will need to reformat it as Fat32. If you have any data on it, you will need to back it up elsewhere in order to reformat the drive for PC.

It comes formatted in ExFat so you can use files greater than 4GB out of the box. You can format it to NTFS if you like or have devices that aren't compatible with ExFat.

Not really, I've copied everything from 4GB to 64GB. The original size and the copy size should be the same. Ex: 32GB to 32GB or 4GB to 4GB Great machine, works very well.

If your using it as a secondary drive Windows will reformat it for you. I reformatted mine several times.
