" ... I tried to install windows 10 pro on this device but failed twice. ... "
" ... Numerous errors immediately! ... Reformatted (Fat32) in Windows Explorer, and retested without error. ... "
" ... I then reformatted to MAC OS journaled. ... "
" ... Using Windows Explorer to copy 220 MB from the Transcend to the laptop averaged about 10 MB/s, with a large contribution to this poor performance being that there was a long time of about 10 seconds when there was no progress at all (flat part of the bytes graph): the Transcend was again "Not Responding." ... "
" ... I'm guessing that the firmware keeps getting corrupted or something, but Windows won't recongnize it again and now Transcend's recovery tool can't even find it. ... "
" ... In Disk Management it would plug into computer as healthy but any attempt to interact with it failed and windows 10 started acting up. ... Tried a third party software it couldn't fix it. ... "
