This is Amazon, buddy. If you want info that detailed, google a site that reviews flash drives. I will say that this drive is insanely fast transfering large video files (175mb to several GB's) compared to every other drive I've tried, including: HP v125 USB Flash Drive P-FD4GBHP125-AZ SanDisk Cruzer USB Flash Drive SDCZ36-004G Kingston Digital USB 2.0 Hi-speed Datatraveler Flash Drive DT101G2/4GBZ All of these drives would write at a sustained 3.2 MB/s which was painfully slow and this Patriot drive does 17.5 MB/s. It's over 5x faster.

The rear bay and/or "highest-numbered bay" (#2 on the 2-bay unit, and #4 on the 4-bay unit) is normally the SOURCE (the one you copy "from"). The lower-numbered bays are usually the TARGET (Destination) drive bays. Read the writing on the devices, it is small, but it does list which is which. Double-check before using, because models change from time to time! Copy speed is acceptable, as far as I can tell. 500 GB drive, mostly-full, copied in less than 4 hours - I cannot give specifics, because it was finished when I came back 4 hours later.

I just purchased this player... it works fine, but I have put two different 64gb cards in the player and it does not seem to read the music. What type of formatting is required to match the player?

That's exactly right. If you go without it, it's pretty easy to just enter the information. It works as advertised but does take several moments to track & update. You can enter it faster (unless you just walk away). Truthfully if I did it again I'd skip it and put my money elsewhere.

There is a very small amount for the formatting. I've been able to get around 23 gigs on a disc. When highlighting files being transferred, it gives a total of those files so you don't go over the allotment. I had no problems with these discs. I hope this helps you.

I would say not to waste your time on device. I used it for a month and then trashed it. response and transfer speeds are horrible.

I've had it for a while now, so I can't remember for sure. I believe it comes as FAT32 for complete compatibility across OS's, but formatting it to NTFS (which is what I did) takes all of 10 seconds by plugging it in, right-clicking on it and selecting "Format..." from the list. I like to use NTFS because it doesn't have the same file size restrictions of FAT32.

I have no idea. Never had to use it. Unit is super. Loads fast. Formats automatically.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'perfectly,' but I use it in a macbook air without issue. I did not need to reformat it. I immediately transferred data to it and then transferred data from it to a PC laptop at work. I have loaned it to folks with Macbook Pros and PCs to upload data from it and no one has had any issues. I hope that helps.

I use a 32gb get the fastest card (Class Number) you can find. This thing loads slow because it uses a clumsy Apple Quicktime format.

no. it isn't any good. it stopped showing the complete digital number after a few days. the magnet isn't very good either.

I never really thought about it so I just browsed to si.com and looked at a page with lots of graphics. It's hard to measure, maybe a tenth of a second or two. I would say it's pretty quick but not instantaneous. It is definitely faster than the first gen iPad I replaced.

This information was probably included with the accompanying documentation (which was very scant, by the way, probably due to the fact that the device is a refurbished model). I no longer have the documentation, but I can ask a more computer-savvy person look at it and find out this info.

As stated, it comes formatted in exFat file system -- You can format to NTFS/ext3 however when I did so I lost over half of the drive's write speed. Formatted it back to exFat and it was fast and zippy again. I'm not about to store a file larger than 4gb on a thumbdrive so I'd rather have the speed in exFat. If I need to move or xfer a file larger than 4 gb i'll put it on my external hd. Shame to loose the speed by changing the file system though.

Go to menu/set button, then scroll down to "Setup"(wrench icon) scroll through all the set-up items. Toward the end you will see "Format". Press that, and voila.

I don't use speed calling, but from what I can gather from the manual, you can store one number per keypad number, so 9. I keep the manual handy because the phone is very small, and the functions are all kind of doubled on other keys, so they aren't very clear. What this phone is best at is being good looking, and taking up very little space. It's super simple looking, not super simple to use.

The Sansa Clip displays looks like this:(shuffle) 412/729 [ ===]ArtistSong/Album|> -----==== 5:12By line:- mode, song #/total songs, battery status- artist name (scrolls if long)- song name / album name (scrolls if long)- play/pause, play position, play timeWhen searching, you can search by artist, album, song, genre, or playlist. It's *very* handy.
