I'll also wait for some time and see if wear and tear may cause problems.
What's interesting is that the broken drive works on both Fedora and macOS, but not Windows. That's why I didn't speculate the drive itself was broken before.

I then filled it with zeroes with a Chinese partition management program (AoMei, if that is useful) and recreated NTFS on it. It worked on Windows. However, after a plug into Fedora it was ruined again: Fedora recognized it, but Windows did not.

It happened only on one series of promotional flash drives I had bought in bulk, i.e. they were all the same type and probably from the same production run. So I don't have real suggestions, but a question: does this happen on all NTFS flashdrives, or just this one? Maybe it's the drive itself._______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
