Chances are I've had a bad block in a thousand, but this one is real junk. I can't get too worked up about it since it's less than $20, but I still feel like it's worth reminding you that you get what you pay for. The problem is that the drive kept disconnecting from the system and the operating system reported that the USB device was bad and not recognized. Tried this with 2 Windows 10 systems and 2 Linux distributions (CentOS7 and Mint Cinnamon). Did the same thing on all 4 systems when something was written to disk.
