OK.. I am using a hiksemi 32GB flash drive which is this:
https://www.hiksemitech.com/en/hiksemi/all-products/external-storage/hs-usb-m200r.html I am also using a microsoft windows 10 home single language for my computer
I also found similar but different problems found in this forum so I thought you all might be able to help
I use my flash drive for wii dumped games for my console. Unfortunately, something occurred. Before I was experiencing this problem, I was able to transfer large files but when I transferred a new game, something finally happened, I was able to use 22GB of the storage but when I did this one, something happened. SHA-1 and MD5 Hashes failed and did not pass, I noticed that all my files as well, failed although before, they were alright and working but now it's not anymore.
I did follow a lot of steps to fix my flash drive, as of course, it got corrupted.
I did go to command prompt as an admin and did the chkdsk G: /f/ r/ x
I did reformat my flash drive and I didn't change the FAT32 to anything and made it as is as WII only support FAT32 disk format
I did /scannow in cmd
I did the diskpart solution in cmd
I reinstalled, update, and uninstalled drivers for the flash drives, and also the usb ports BUT!!! the flash drive, I wasn't able to look for its drivers online so what I only did try is the uninstall and update by searching automatically for drivers.
also did the properties and tried to scan and repair the drives
also uncheck the part where the usb port will turn off the device to save power
did go to control panel to power options to change in advanced settings to select usb to enable
switched to a different pc/ laptop to see if same problem occur and I also forgot to mention that there was an error 0x800701B1
although I did fix to reformat it and it didn't occur again but will likely happen again if I transfer large files.
I did try to add one game which has 300+ mb and it worked but when I add like a gigabyte sized game, stuff became a problem again
and also my flash drive will disconnect randomly or right away while transferring a large file.
I even scanned the flash drive using the windows virus protection to see if I got malware and luckily no malware.
but unluckily, still the same problem.
I am feeling frustrated with this and I have only a few Ideas left. Either the flash drive can't handle wii games or in the .wbfs file format and damaged it, OR I am completely a goner and I won't be able to use it anymore for large files which is a bummer as most files that I have and require are large
P.S. I DON'T NEED TO RECOVER THE FILES AS I HAVE BACKUPS

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.
From your description of the problem, there is a physical problem with that USB flash drive, it is not a Windows problem or driver problem and most likely that flash drive is going to fail in the near future, it really would be best to purchase a new flash drive, they are very volatile and can fail at any time.
Hello. The issue is most likely that the flash drive is formatted in fat32. Also if your hard disk is limited on space it will not copy over because the cashe on the disk is either full or in a read only mode. The simple solution is to use the cmd.exe with xcopy.exe commands. fat32 has a 4gb limit i think for file transfers. I do not see a disk being stuck on a fat32 format. it is a usb 2.0 I bet if you formatted it with a diffrent device it would change the format type. I think even minni partition tool or diskmanagment would format this disk properly. You coulld split the file using peazip.
