• A:Answer Your 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.

Q: QuestionI notice these only have a 1 year warranty. I want a portable device for when I travel (infrequently) to carry my files for work and I've had a couple SanDisk fail and they fortunately have 5 year warranty, so I was able to get them replaced.

Asked 7 years ago by Reliability.

• A:Answer Hi, 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.

Q: QuestionWhat is the trick to getting the caps off of these?

Asked 2 years ago by schnoodle.

• A:Answer The 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.
