Wanted to update the USB to use in the car. Attached there's a screenshot showing original files that didn't get copied over to the USB and the freshly reformatted USB F: I'm more looking for confirmation on the results I've gotten from ValiDrive, does Write Error just mean it's corrupted and unsalvageable? It's just a 4GB old USB that I found laying around so no big losses, but I wanted to know if it was just trash to throw away at this point. yes, the full song folder to copy is barely 3GB so it should fit in a 4GB USB also made this post since a quick google search didn't turn up anything, so might as well leave it for future people that might check their USBs

I view flash drives as temporary because they lack durability and can be swapped out for more robust alternatives. If they begin behaving oddly and a basic cleanup fails, replace them.
