    USB pen drive 16 gig, showing as 2.25 meg capacity?


    An empty 16 gig 2.0 pen drive is showing as only 2.25 meg, and is impossible to format in Windows. I did try out a Linux distro iso (Mint) on it yesterday, but because after burning to the usb stick it had some errors it failed to install correctly in Windows 10, so I deleted it from the usb stick.
    Tried to access the usb stick today, and it is reading as a 2.25 meg stick not 16 gig?
    Any idea why this has happened, and is there a way to fix it please?*Sad

    :)

    USB drive

    What does it mean rugged?
    Cuz for the model i suggested it says it is good it is not rugged in a review

    Also, 30mb/s is for usb 3.0.
    25mb/s is for usb 2.0.
    Is that the true speed?
    I have never seen that speed in any usb 2.0 devices.

    Patriot 16 gigs costs more than the kingston i suggested and is 2.0 only (a bit more 30$ with shipping)
    Meanwhile 32 gigs costs 100$
    The kingston i suggested costs 24$ 16gigs (free shipping)

    I want to have a speedy usb and the capacity best would be 16 gigs.
    Price depends, becuase i found a 16 gigs usb for 13$ but speeds 4mb/s
    This is why i am asking, is it true the speed of 25mb/s to this kingston?
    Cuz that would be perfect!

    USB pen drive 16 gig, showing as 2.25 meg capacity?

    USB drive

    Don't forget there is a difference between Mbits/s and MBytes/s, by a factor of 16

    USB 2.0 in theory is supposed to run at 480 Mbits/s (same as meaning 30 MBytes/s), but doesn't ever quite reach that speed.
