I have a flash drive that supports both USB and USB-C. The problem with this flash drive is that it works on Windows, but not on macOS. Specifically:

  • The drive is exFAT-formatted and does not have encryption on it.
  • The drive works as expected on both USB ports on Windows.
  • This drive also works as expected when connected to my Android phone via USB-C (i.e. directly, not with a cable). I just copied some pet photos onto it.
  • The drive did work on macOS at one point; I was able to copy files onto it without issue.
  • I cannot mount or format the drive on macOS.
  • Running fsck_exfat /dev/disk2s1 on the drive returns the error message fsck_exfat: Can't open /dev/rdisk2s1: Operation not permitted.
  • I've backed up the files that the drive contained onto a separate disk drive. These files were copied without incident, and their contents do not appear to be corrupted.

I formatted the drive as ExFAT again, then verified it with H2testw. It reported no errors:

Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.

However, FakeFlashTest did identify problems:

Unplug and re-connect the drive, then reformat it using Windows or RMPrepUSB.

Any tips?

    Check that the photos you copied from the droid are now also visible when you put it in the PC. Also see if it appears under Disk Utility on the Mac [Cmd/2 so you can see devices as well as volumes] & whether it can be mounted manually. Also, on any device that can see this info - how full is it?

  • And for good measure do an error correction in Windows. Commented Jul 19, 2022 at 13:46
  • @Tetsujin Photos appear on Windows without issue. Windows reports the drive as 5.69GB used out of 114GB total, which is expected. MacOS Disk Utility recognizes the drive as /dev/disk2 and applies the branding ("USB SanDisk 3.2Gen1 Media"). It recognizes the existence of a 123.05GB ExFAT-formatted partition at /dev/disk2s1, but it can't mount it.

  • OK. I'd just be tempted to copy the data off it, reformat in the Mac [as MBR/ExFAT if you have to, though safer would always be GUID/HFS+ or even NTFS, but then you'd need corresponding read/write enabler software for the other platforms. Journaled formats are much, much more reliable] Either way, then try to throw files at it until you've filled more than 16GB & then eject & re-mount. I still have a suspicion it may not be 'real'. See raymond.cc/blog/… for free testers.

    Ah, but FakeFlashTest did identify problems. Will update the post with details.
