Q: QuestionWhy is it only 118 GB instead of 128gb like it says? The other programs are small

Asked 10 years ago by pchop.

• A:Answer Because there are two definitions for GB. The binary definition is 1,024 x 1,024 x 1,024 = 1,073,741,824 and that is the one used by Windows to report disk size. Storage system manufacturer, however, took the liberty to define GB as 1 billion bytes. The difference between the two is 7.3%, so 128 GB (disk) = 119.2 GB (binary). Then you must take into account the fact that Windows reports formatted capacity, while storage manufacturers reports unformatted size, resulting in the difference that you noticed. The same applies to your hard drive, too.

Q: QuestionI am transferring videos (WMV file) on a SanDisk 128GB 3.0 flashdrive. Videos with size 3,37 GB and under works OK. For the bigger size videos from 4GB to 8GB, I receive a window saying that the file is too large to be transferred, while the USB is empty?

Asked 8 years ago by Ginette.

• A:Answer That is usually due your flash drive being formatted with the FAT32 file system, which has a limit of 4GB for each individual file. To fix this you can replace the FAT32 file system on the flash drive with NTFS, which does not have the 4GB limit. To do that, make sure the flash drive does not have any data that you need, then right click on it, select Format and choose NTFS. You can check the box next to the Quick Format option and it should only take a minute or two. After that is done, you should be able to move files that are larger than 4GB to your flash drive.

Q: QuestionIs the ULTRA 128 useable with 2.0 drive?

Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer I believe that you are asking if the SanDisk Ultra 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive is compatible with a 2.0 USB port on a computer. If so, the answer is yes. It works faster on a 3.0 USB port, but will work just fine on a 2.0 or even 1.0 port. I copied about 90GB of mostly music via a 2.0 USB port onto my SanDisk Ultra 128GB 3.0 Flash Drive in four hours.

Q: Questionmy original 128gb sandisk flash drive burned out and i lost all data. i was wondering if this one (the ultra model) is much more durable hopefully? would you guys know if this one wont burn out as easily thus rendering all my data useless?

Asked 9 years ago by Damion.

• A:Answer Everyone knows better than to put any data that is important in just one place. Always back up your important files. Extra memory is cheap. I have never had a drive like this fail but any piece of equipment can fail at any time regardless of price or perceived quality. In my opinion USB flash dives (no moving parts) can be even more reliable than a physical hard drive. You can't beat the price of this kind of memory. Buy two then you'll never lose any data. BACK IT UP! Nothing is perfect

Q: QuestionHello, I bought Sandisk Ultra USB 3.0, with capacity 128GB, and it is written on that flash drive. But, its real capacity is 32 GB! So, I don`t understand what is the problem. I bought it at 2nd January, and didn`t use it till 3 days ago... What to do?

Asked 9 years ago by Bojan.

• A:Answer Return it! If it says 128GB but isn't, someone mismarked it in production. When you check its properties, does it show a total of 32GB or does it show that's all that is available? If it shows that is the total size, then take it back.

Q: QuestionXP comparableis this Compatable with windows XP?

Asked 10 years ago by Sue.

• A:Answer The issue is not compatibility with an operating system but, rather, the computer's hardware. A computer running Windoze XP will not have USB 3 or 3.1 ports but instead will be USB 2 or even USB. USB 3 drives are backwards compatible with these older USB specifications but the read/write speeds will be slowed to what the computer hardware will support.

Q: QuestionI have an ITunes account which shows I have about 80gb of music on my IPod when I charge it. Will I be able to copy everything directly from this account using this flash drive? I'm guessing this is one way to easily backup my files.

Asked 9 years ago by StillLearning.

• A:Answer You will have to export your music so it just inst a copy and paste type operation. The memory size should be fine but I highly recommend you check the apple site for directions on how to move your itunes music.
