Well, it looks like its got nice specs but its hard for me to read because it keeps opening and closing an explorer window every, at first 5 seconds, then slowly slows down to every 15 seconds , with that annoying beep too. Just like as if my 5-year old son was pulling the thumb drive out and plugging it in over, and over and over! Of course I can’t do anything else when this is happening as the explorer window steals focus from what ever I’m doing. When I close Speccy the problem stops and all is fine again.
And what happens if you use Speccy without that particular thumb drive plugged in?
In other words is the USB connection, or the thumb drive itself, faulty?
From what you describe then it certainly sound like an intermittent drive connection for whatever reason.
thanks nukecad, good idea, dugh. So ya I unplugged it and the other usb stuff i had plugged in, tried it in different slots, always the same. It reads it, pops up the explorer window, beeps and shows up as “59GB Lexar uSD UHS2 RDR USB Device (USB )” under Speccy’s storage section, then it disappears under storage, disconnects and then starts all over again. Seems odd to me, I’ve been using this drive for a long time as one of my backups, its always worked really, really well until this. It does the same thing in other slots. Sorry, but no solution on my end. I even removed the little card from the thumb drive and of course put it back no obvious reason for this. I read and write to it a lot, it never disconnects and reconnects like this for anything else. Oh I forgot to answer your question. Speccy works flawlessly without the thumb drive plugged in.
From what you describe there it’s a Lexar 64GB SD card in a USB adaptor rather than a thumb drive.
SD cards are often used in cameras, and the USB adaptor means that they can be read by a computer too.
Whatever, you have sucessfully narrowed it down to being the drive (or the adaptor) that is at fault here.
If you havent already then I’d be making a backup copy of the data on that drive before I did anything else, it sounds to me as if it may be failing.
Why not treat yourself to a new one, maybe with more capacity:
Or if you are not using it in a camera then you could just get a thumbdrive:
