Crossfire Usb Flash Drives 64 Gig For Mac Os X

Compatible with most PC/MAC laptop and desktop computers with available USB 2.0 port (Backwards compatible to USB 1.0) High performance, low power consumption, non-volatile flash memory makes flash drives more durable than other storage devices.

I agree with MrMikeCH. Sandisk needs to supply a tool to change the bit.

Years ago the difference between a removable USB drive and a fixed one was a bit, now days, especially with the Windows to Go drives it's a whole new chip architecture. Ie it's more than a bit difference. This was not made obvious anywhere on the specs page Was it made obvious on the packaging? SanDisk no longer makes the local disk drives anymore but those that they did make are still being sold by parties that bought them.

Fixed disk is actually a requirement for Win 8 certification. This is a deliberate change in the FW of the Extreme USB 3.0 flash drive and no tool will be released to flip it to removable. This is not a bug it is purposely done for Win 8 certification. This makes me very, very angry. I purchased an Extreme USB 64GB about a year ago, and have been using it as the boot volume for Linux Mint. I recently purchased another, seemingly identical unit, and in the process of rebuilding a new laptop with Linux Mint and Windows 8.1, I discovered that while my original unit shows up as 'Fixed', and works the way I expect a drive to function, the new one shows up as 'Removable', and Windows will NOT see any partition beyond the first.

Free roam driving games for mac. After testing 20+ games, these are the best racing games for Mac today. Our Top 10 has something for everyone, including arcade racing games, simulations, kart games and The last time we tried to list the best racing games for Mac, we couldn’t even find ten different games, let alone ten good ones.

Furthermore, Windows doesn't even see that partition correctly. Using the drive under Mac OS X and Linux, it works perfectly. It's only under Windows that there's a distinction.

On a Mac or Linux, I can format the drive as GPT and create however many partitions I like, format them to whatever filesystem, and they all work perfectly. I downloaded Partition Guru Pro, and ran the 'convert to USB-HDD' function. I appears to complete, but results in no change to the drive. It still shows as 'Removable' in Disk Management. I also want to mention that it is my custom to create all drives as GPT disks, now that GPT is supported properly by all three major operating systems, and all current PCs ship with UEFI boot support. But, to get around the fact that filesystem support across the three platforms is still spotty, the way I set up my 64GB USB drive is with a 200MB EFI boot partition (as per Mac OS X, I think Windows gives the EFI boot partition only 100MB), an 8GB FAT partition that will mount read/write on all operating systems, and whatever the native filesystem is for the OS I intend to install (ext4 in teh case of Linux, NTFS in the case of Windows, HFS+ in the case of Mac OS X).

So, now I have one drive that has to be relegated to file transfer, solely, because it's not properly made to work in Windows 8, and I don't want to risk screwing up a careful build, not to mention valuable data, if it happens to get inserted and used by accident. In my opinion, SanDisk should provide free exchange of any drives that are not Windows 8 compliant. Any news on this? I am looking for a fixed drive version for Windows 8.1 To Go too.

Or, has anyone been able to create a Windows 8.1 To Go using a removable type drive?? Has anyone else besides been able to change one from removable to fixed type using Partition Guru PRO? Am I correct in thinking that the fixed version comes in a packaging with a Windows 8 certified logo? Anyone care to share a photo of the packaging?

Long shot, but anyone with a fixed type 64GB version willing to sell theirs? I am in the UK.
