USB issues. Post your information on them

[user82]

EDIT: It seems like the USB issues are not only drive manufacturer related. The thread is no more active, since it did not help finding the issue!



So all across the forums USB issues show up.
For some people it works, for some people it does not work.

I have made some tests with a working drive to see what should not cause the issues.
partition table - tested GPT and msdos
partition type
filesystem name - tested some special chars in the name
filesystem type - tested ntfs, fat32
usb type - I have both 2.0 and 3.0 working


So that leaves us with: Manufacturer/chipset

This thread is to collect detailed information by all forum members, maybe we can find usb drives that work for everyone.
Just post below what drives you use, manufacturerer and size. And some more information if possible!

Thanks for contributing. I will keep the list up to date!
