@Archean
Thanks for the update. And very happy to hear you have things working again!
@Ritwik7
Hey Ritwik! Thanks for your update as well! and the result when you used a hub. I have a theory!
I forget the full history of your thread, so if this doesn't apply, ignore it as my theory below is pure speculation and best guess based on your hub results
1. I'm going to guess your USB hub is "self-powered" meaning it comes with its own AC adapter?
2. In which case, the problem might be
- in the device power provided by your computer's USB ports (which may fall short of spec)
- And/or the power consumption by the Kingston pen drive (which may exceed spec) I've seen other devices exceed USB power spec - most notably those WD portable drives that people often find failing
If this makes sense, two ways you might check it
- Possibly measure the power on each USB port? (don't know how though - I'm basically a software guy )
- Get one of those USB Y cables to provide power to that Kingston drive directly from two of your USB ports (not just one)
Anyway, just a guess here (if it might apply or you ever have a chance to test with a Y cable would be curious the result)
In any case, hope you All have Happy Computing ahead!
/* edit */
And like i said, i forget the full thread history (and too lazy to re-read it all
So if you already tried the Y cable or something similar already, you can ignore this theory/guess!
