A:AnswerYour Recovery drive is not supposed to be anything other that a Recovery drive. I create a Recovery drive when I buy the machine and keep it with the receipts and booklets that come with the machine in a plastic bag. This I have this flash drive for backups or file copies. Works good for me.
A:AnswerHi, I can't speak to the longevity of this device, but if I were you, I'd stick with the devices that have proven, long term warranties.
And ALWAYS back up your work to multiple devices. If it's on an SD card, leave it there. Copy that to a hard drive or some flash storage and make another copy to another device.
If you have had good luck with SanDisk and their warranty, I'd just keep working with those.
They are an excellent brand, typically.
Good luck.
A:AnswerLots. If you are recording regular DVD quality which is 4.7 Gbytes for 2 hours. It will hold over 50 movies. If you can record at higher compression but still good quality. IT should hold over 100 movies
A:AnswerThe cover slides back to uncover the plug end. It has some resistance to it, which is intended to keep it from retracting unintentionally. Just apply a little muscle power to slide the retractable cover toward the end with the thumb indent.
A:AnswerI loaded a quite a few gigs of different music files to plug into my cars USB port and it works perfect. No issues and this thing is fast so no music distortion. Didn’t have to format it so I can’t answer that but playback is fantastic.
A:AnswerHey! Yes it can. I did notice I had difficulty formatting it on my windows laptop. But I know it is easy to format any USB to fat 32. A apple device, once formatted to fat 32. It will still work on any operating system. I believe. I formatted mine to this for DJing.
A:AnswerI do not own an Insignia Fire TV, but I use it on multiple HD TVs. I save photos and music to this USB, and when I plug this into each TV I can view and listen to them on my TVs. I just make sure I select the correct app and save them the right way.
A:AnswerThis has quite a lot of storage for a flash drive, but I would think for backing up software you would need to make an image backup and for that you should probably use an external hard drive rather than just a flash drive. Most laptops have at least a 500 GB hard drive so if the hard drive is more than 1/2 full the image backup wouldn't fit on this flash drive. Western Digital makes good external hard drive with large amounts of storage.
