You got ripped off. This drive does not work. It is a total scam. I bought two. I threw them both in the trash. They can harm your computer, throw them away!

It's been awhile since I tried these...but, I remember having to do a factory restore after using them. Good luck!

I had ordered five of them at Christmas time to attach all my pictures for my children, but I received them none of them would work. The company would not return them and Amazon had guarenteed them for me and returned my money. The company does not see to put out a good product.

Throw it directly into the trash. The price seemed too good to be true and it was. I'm not sure what these are, but I can tell you what they are not: 256GB flash drives. First, there is only one, not two. Second, upon trying to copy files my computer locked up and subsequently locked up whenever I plugged the thing in. Then it fell apart. The seller told me that I would not get a refund until I gave him a good rating. I don't know why Amazon has not banned this seller.

I can only tell you about my experience - I was in the process of transferring files to the drive. The transfer stopped about an hour in, and my system no longer recognized the drive's existence. Rebooting did not help. I also tried the drive on other computers, and they failed to recognize the drive also. The return process was fairly painless and my refund was processed very quickly.

The drive seems to be protected against taking any other content, and there's no way to move content from the drive to a friendlier one where purchased movies (from any source) could be stored.. Tell me if I'm wrong. Basically, the bulk of the drive is wasted space.

Try formatting the thumb drive. Try NTFS. If that doesn't work, separate the file into parts. I use WinRAR. However, there are several freeware programs that would do it.

the drive is not formatted with any version of windows. it is formatted with a run time version of linux. it handles the formatting. the windows 8 machines should see it in the network browser. did you set up user rights?

No , will play any music ,even from a drag and drop . Don't know the max , but I 've found the larger the drive , the more time it takes to go thru the files

Try hitting Win+X and selecting "Disk management." make sure the drive shows up on the list. You may just need to assign it a drive letter (right-click assign drive letter).

It is formatted for NTFS Windows OS. Also, I have dropped it once when I was getting out of the car. The drive is totally unusable due to bad sectors after that.

If it is in MTP mode or Auto Detect (default) then you can use Windows Media Player. If it's in MSC, then you can just drag and drop your music.

The best answer I have is to make sure the audio files are in the proper format for your storage card. If they arr make sure they actually play on th computer, if thry do not play on the computer obviously they wont play on the device. Otherwise most likely the storage card isnt a match.

I'm having the same problem. Windows7 doesn't recognize it. Can't find drivers for the drive or the case ANYWHERE.

Mine is not working properly. when I save files over 128GB. The files disappear and I have only empty folders even though the drive shows that the space is being used. It is a waste of money.

Yeah, it acts just like another drive. You just drag the music files over. Very simple. Great player.

I am pretty sure that the WD player I have plays Avi files. WMV files didn't play though. Do a search for a program that converts mp4, mpeg, wmv, etc to avi or a file that you know the WD plays. The conversion programs are generally free. Good luck.

I do sync mine via windows media player and have never had a problem. Might be defective.

I am not a tech guy. But, my experience with this drive is simple: it does not work. It looks like it saved the files but then the files are not there.
