Having trouble copying file, does this drive not work with front usb ports?

In file manager, you should be able to "drag and drop" a file from your "C" drive (or wherever your copying from) to the Lexar. Your front USB port might not be hooked up internally or the front port might be rated below USB 2.0. Try inserting the Lexar in a USB port in the back of your computer.....should work then.

Before copying file over make sure the files are all closed out before you can proceed

This will work fine just like any other external USB drive. If you don't want it formatted as NTFS, it can be easily formatted as FAT32 or whatever your need is.

The flash drive should be able to copy all files, regardless of size, as long as they don't exceed 128 GB. If it copies smaller files, but not your big ones, you may have a defective flash drive.I suggest you contact Kingston for more information.

Yes this will work all u have to do is a restore. If that doesn't work just save all data on usb drive. Then transfer data. That's what I had to do because I had 1 corrupt file so it wouldn't restore but saving on the usb worked

I'm not sure. Perhaps you can just attach both drives and use windows to copy the files.

I'm sorry. I don't know. I had a drive cloned *for* me. I suggest you contact Seagate. They're awesome.

For me it just worked as is - plug it in using the provided USB cable, and the drive icon will show up on your desktop after several seconds. You can re-format it with Apple's file system (HFS+) if you only intend to use it with Apple computers, but the default should work fine too.

In my case, it's plug &play. I suggest you proceed via My files and tap on the usb drive. Good luck.

The drive is used for dvd backups and picture storage. When the old drive failed, I purchased another USB 3.0. That didn't help. I recovered almost 1 TB in two days. Then, since I had not yet received the new 3.0 card, I tried using the USB 2.0 to transfer from another backup (a western digital) to the Seagate. In 3 days, I moved about 300 Gb. That was left on 24 hours, too. After I got and installed the new 3.0 (I still doubted the old one), all remaing 500 plus Gb moved in less than 3 hours!. I never measured or recorded the speed. And the old 3.0 USB worked similarly.

It is not a file thing. I checked that. Certain flash drives don't work for my car. Kingston ones used to work but not anymore.

I would compare this drive to the current one you own. If the size or type of connector is different then that it's where your problem lies

My answer is both yes and no. I purchased two identical units of this model at separate times. One has been working ok (good) other is totally unreliable (bad), i.e., either needs to repeat a process(insert-remove) many times until finally show up or the icon fails to show up. No icon means no file transfer possible. I have five (16GB) flash drives in total made by three different manufacturers and find one made by Kingston to be most reliable so far.

Sorry, but I won't be much help. I have not used a flash drive on that unit.

I am not a tech guy. But, my experience with this drive is simple: it does not work. It looks like it saved the files but then the files are not there.

Has anyone tried to connect an external HD to the USB port and saved their files?

No, I purchased this unit for that purpose and it didn't work. I could see and read files from the USB drive but could not save files to the drive. The problem seemed to be that it was so slow the write failed due to time out, not permissions.

You have to make sure to use the power cord as well. The USB alone doesn't have enough power to spin the drive and get it working. Also, once all the connectors are hooked up don't forget the power switch.
