Now a day lot of fake drives are coming Its works good for a while and ultimately go to trash.
You cannot copy the bulk files to FAT file systems If u have 4 gb and all , split the files(100/200mb) using .rar format and then copy the files.

First I don't believe it. However i tried it on my system and checked using df -h and it showed 500 GB (free space 498 GB) Second its formatted to FAT 16. So my questions 1. Incredible as it may be i refuse to belive that this small device is actually 500 Gig so how does one verify that. I could copy data and i think it will give up after about 10 GIg or less, but is there any other way 2. What is the max size a FAT 16 partition (and FAT 32) be - i think FAT partitions have a limit would appreciate tips. ram PS if i am wrong i might have to eat an hat so look forward to some tips to beat this ridiculous sized thumbdrive -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
