The light on the USB drive is solid.
When I eject it the Device description changes from 67 GB Volume to General UDisk: 67 GB Volume and the light is flashing very rapidly. So it doesn't get fully ejected.
The only way I have found to fully eject it is after ejecting it from the file manager then open Disks and power it off. If I just take it out when it is flashing then it write protects it and I can't add or delete anything on it.
Should I buy a more expensive flash drive?
What I am going to use this flash drive for is listening to my mp3 files in my car.
