but all it takes is one bad experience to ruin a brand for you
I normally don't write reviews, but all it takes is one bad experience to ruin a brand for you. I've bought several SanDisk products in the past and I think this is the first time I've had one brick on me, but after some research, this has been going on for a long time. SanDisk drives are prone to going into "Write Protected" mode where you can no longer add or remove any files to it. In other words, it becomes "Read Only" so you're stuck with with what's on there. I tried several methods of removing the write protection on my drive, but as listed on SanDisk's site, there's no way to remove it or reformat the drive. There is a flaw/bug in this specific drive itself. SanDisk knows about this and continues to sell them to uninformed customers.
