[dba-Tech] Unidentified thumb drive

Hi Arthur:

Unless your computer(s) have at least one USB 3.0 port each, any between transfer of major data is going to be slow and unstable.  That is why a laptop will never be able to replace a good desktop/server with a host SATA and SSD drives and a real LAN (not a WiFi) connection.

Then there is that pesky USB thumb-drive FAT32 issue where no file over 4 GB can be stored. Formatting the drive to NTS or Fatx just adds more compatibility problems.

Yeah, tried that, and also tried moving it to another computer. O well. Its
only purpose was to serve as a shuttle drive, and it doesn't much matter.
Besides the thumb drive, I have a pair of 1 TB external drives, one
attached to the laptop and the other to the desktop. Once I finally figured
out how to make each of them visible from the other computer, the thumb
became kind of pointless anyway.
