Hello, I purchased a 16 GB sandisk cruzer from walmart, but when it is pluged in to the computer it only registers that there is 14 GB of free space. There is nothing on the USB. I bought it because I have close to 14 GB of files, but it says it cannot write them because there is not enough space.
In addition, I can’t even place a 4 GB file on the flash drive without gettting the error that there is not enough space.
I hope there is a way to do this, because I think it’s a rip off to advertise something as 16 GB but it’s really 14 GB. With all do respect that is false advertising.
Yes you lose after format and you would get 14.9 after format if you actually bought a 16GB drive, but you didn’t!
With the Sanbdisk Cruzer you bought 15.6 or 15,698,231,296 bytes, when formated is 14.6. so now I ask… how can you call this (and sell this as) a 16GB?
Tapeworm, your response with article proves my point and explains perfectly why we should expect a better amount of space than SanDisk has given us on this drive. A quote from your article even states: “Memory cards aren’t as bad as hard drives when it comes to advertised versus “actual” (it seems that the makers try to match up the two figures): when you buy a card for your camera, you’ll probably getting something close to what it says on the box.”
I completely understand formatted space and I know how to divide and multiply to find bytes to GB.
The article also states: to a computer 1 GB = 1,073,741,824 to product naming 1 GB = 1,000,000,000.
By this fact, this drive should have NO LESS THAN 16,000,000,000 bytes.
Lets look again at the fact that this drive starts out at 15,698,231,296 REAL bytes.
Hi, I was using my cruzer blade 16gb by almost a year but today i formatted it and it said windows was unable to complete the format.
Now the condition have became worst.
When i plug it into my laptop it is shown in my computer as removable disk. But no volume info is shown and i cant open it, format it. Even a few of third party softwares i tried are unable to detect it.
In short it is useless now.
Please help me what should i do now.
