I had this problem also with two Sandisk drives, which had U3 capability on
them. I even tried using the U3 removal tool on them and they wouldn't work.

On the mac you can't just delete items from a removable drive and expect them
to disappear. They are still in the trash on the drive in question. I do this

Well as some people said the library people said no more than 4 gigs.
I think you can do more than that. But I would not go up to 8 gigs of content.
Besides who wants to arrow left and right through a hundred plus books?

Here's my trick for sticking flash drives down the front of the dtbm.
