Dal Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) I recently purchased a 16TB USB stick and attaced to my Unraid server. Thinks LOOKS OK, but I'm not able to mount / write to it. And I have errors Feb 16 13:18:44 Unraid kernel: sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] tag#0 UNKNOWN(0x2003) Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=DRIVER_OK cmd_age=0s Feb 16 13:18:44 Unraid kernel: sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] tag#0 Sense Key : 0x5 [current] Feb 16 13:18:44 Unraid kernel: sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] tag#0 ASC=0x21 ASCQ=0x0 Feb 16 13:18:44 Unraid kernel: sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] tag#0 CDB: opcode=0x28 28 00 f4 23 ff e8 00 00 01 00 Feb 16 13:18:44 Unraid kernel: critical target error, dev sdb, sector 32767999808 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 Feb 16 13:18:44 Unraid kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev sdb1, logical block 4095999968, async page read Can it simply be that the USB Stick is too large? I cannot find a way to delete all config and re-initialize it either. Any tips? Thanks Edited February 16 by Dal Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I have not heard of there being USB sticks that large that are not fakes. You might want to try running one of the many programs available that can test for fake uSB drives and report their true capacity. Quote Link to comment

Edit: As sort of PSA this is the largest, as of writing this, commercially available flash drive I based my 2k guess on flash chips, quite shocked that the 2TB version is already almost that much.

Dal Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 (edited) Heh. I bought one of these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006353288880.html And in Windows it says: Copying seems to work fine in Windows, although slow Heh, according to the comments on that AliExpress page it seems that I got fooled. The joke's on me Edited February 16 by Dal Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 lol, a 1.6TB flash drive for 0.60€ 1 Quote Link to comment
Mainfrezzer Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Glad to see that it wasnt that much money. Quote Link to comment
Dal Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 (edited) Yeah, in hindsight it was pretty stupid and I should have known better. Not much of a loss money wise anyway. Imagine if it WAS real. Flash memory prices could have dropped like crazy in China for all I knew I actually had no idea that faking flash drives was a thing. Today I learned USB flash drive validation for the flash drive from ValiDrive, lol: Edited February 16 by Dal Quote Link to comment
