Hello, I've tried every format but can't get a usb drive to work. I have a 8gb and a 256 gb. Formatted NTFS, fat 32, exfat. Nothing won't recognize them at all! They are usb 3.0. I have a 2014 CTD. Any suggestions? It's the MY LINK/NAV
Use exFat for usb drives and do a full format/clean. That will manually go through and check them. Also if you got them off ebay, yeah just throw them in the trash.
I bought a 32gb Cruzer Fit and it works great, plus the small form factor makes it difficult for anyone snooping to tell if a drive is installed or not. I have the 64gb version also, but I have not tried it yet as it is used on my Wii U system (another place where a small form factor is a great idea).
Both drives are not very expensive and shouldn't run more than $15 for the 32 or $20 for the 64.
