Ixpand not detected

It’s just insane to me that I have to pay $40 plus dollars to recover data because Sandisk sent me a faulty drive and their warranty doesn’t help with the data that Sandisk lost.  Not many companies can get away with something like this, most have the good reputation to cover the costs of the loss to the customer.  Shame on me for not doing my research and trusting Sandisk to deliver a good product or stand behind their product.  I’m very disappointed and will not be using any Sandisk flash drive with sensitive data again.
