Remove write protection from USB drive

Yes. I will try and see if they grant me RMA of a “currently” working drive that is without a proof of purchase.-) I am trying to get it to fail again using “H2testw” endless write/verify.

 

This is not the first time a SanDisk drive has given me problem. It has been drives that have identified themself as “Local Disk” instead of the expected “Removable Disk” which created a lot of problem with programs that apperantly only works with a “Removable Disk”. Drives that suddenly stopped working in any USB input on one computer but continued to work in other computer. Drives that sometime didn’t work in a certain USB port when every other USB drive always worked.

 

All of this I have never seen from any other “brand” USB drive. No more SanDisk for me
