Hi everyone, I just built a desktop pc server and installed unraid via usb. This is my first time using unraid.

I've got a 64GB Samsung BAR Plus 64GB (the smallest size they sell now). I booted into it, created root password, got to dashboard, got a trial license.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BPGF6N3?th=1

It is plugged into a USB 2.0 slot on the front of my case.

I've also got 2 SSD in the pc to begin with, but haven't done anything yet. I haven't even started the array. I put them in a cache zfs pool but did not hit start because I noticed this error and want to address it before I do anything.

Anyway, every page I go to, this banner appears saying my flash drive is corrupted.

What's going on here? anyone have advice? I literally just set up this pc and this usb is brand new from Amazon. I've attached the diagnostic. Please go easy on me as I'm a noob who has no clue whats going on.

A couple things I tried based on googling:
1) Plugged usb into windows. Drive is correctly titled "UNRAID"

2) Ran checkdisk. no errors found and it took less than 1 second to run as the volume is empty aside from unraid

Edit: After rebooting unraid, I haven't noticed this problem. All good!

Thanks in advance.

The flash drive dropped offline; if it happens again, you can try a different USB port, and if that doesn't help, replace the flash drive.
