Try formatting the thumb drive. Try NTFS. If that doesn't work, separate the file into parts. I use WinRAR. However, there are several freeware programs that would do it.

thumb drive's are FAT32 on all computers, try to format it, then try copping the file again, if it does not work, you will have to split the file as suggested, I have put 4 GIG files on a thumb drive with no problems. another thing to think of, once the file says it was copied, it still has to make the drive index (like closing a disc after burning it), or the file will not be readable, so let it sit about a minute after it is done copping the file, before trying to check it.

I'm making an assumption that you are using Window XP. Vista, Win7, or Win8. If that is the case the USB should be formatted for NTFS. not FAT32.

I wish I could be of help, but so awfully sorry I haven't encountered problems similar to yours since I haven't copied files larger than 3Gig.

I wish I had an answer to that plea for help but my files are so much smaller and even at 30 or 40 files I have no problem with my PNY III 32 GB USB 2.0

On my computer, when I check the Program files folder and the Corel program folder, this shows as just under 4 Gigabytes.

as long as you leave it formatted in NTFS,(which is the format that mine came in with) there really isn't a size limit. If you re-format to FAT32,then it's 4gig.

My Patriot 8GB USB3 drive shows as 7.92GB which is 1% less than the stated capacity. The drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended. I don't know what the Windows number might be.

64GB SDXC OK.. I formatted as exFAT instead of NTFS. Turn off wireless and connect to PC will be able to read/write files. My 32GB USB has FAT and works OK.

For reasons that remain a mystery, I found this happening any time I tried to move large files (in my case, an outlook exchange file was the kicker). I think it is a paging file size issue.I was able to get it on my drive, finally, by using a compression program (WinZip probably, or 7zip maybe) and setting the drive as the destination where it created the zipped file.

If you can, try a different flash drive and/or using the flash drive in another port to make sure it's not the problem. Do as other answers say, check that your connection to the motherboard is good and possibly check drivers. If the flash drive works elsewhere then reformatting it probably wont help, but it doesn't hurt to try. Otherwise, sounds like a bad unit. I transfer large files all the time with no issue.

Actually, disregard my previous response. I had this drive, but it was a 2TB model, not 3TB. There's a limit of 2.19TB for older Windows version (including Win 7) unless you have hardware that supports GPT partitioning, which I honestly don't know much about at this time. I'd recommend going with a 2TB version to be on the safe side.

sure hope you have not used more on the drive the terrabyte drive that is usuallly its customarry to replace with same size drive or larger for that very reason but load in the4 new drive and and the old make secondary you can send all to the new drive or drag and drop in new drive

Don't own this particular disk, but the support for large files is unrelated with the disk itself. It is a limitation of the file system used on it, so if you format the drive as FAT, then it will have an upper limit on file sizes of 4gb. There are other file systems which support bigger files, such as NTFS (or HFS+ in case you're using a Mac). But do notice that FAT is still the most widely supported format, so some devices might have issue reading from a NTFS disk.

I put a 3TB in it and it does not recognize the entire drive. I have 746.52GB unusable space on the Disk.

4GB is the maximum size for a file if the device is formatted as Fat32. I recommend reformatting to exFat if you are using Windows XP to 7 and Apple systems.

Mine didn't work either. As a last resort, I thought I'd just just use it as a standard 8gb storage card. No luck. Computer shows it has only 93kb of storage space - not 8gb. Tried reformatting - no change. Just a $35 piece of garbage. My suggestion - throw it in the trash where it belongs.

instructions say no. however I would try something in desperation. change the 300gb drive to allocate less than 250gb, maybe that will work. I hope so because I will be trying the same thing at some point. otherwise use free cloning software (with a recovery disk). btw, this device is the only way I have found to clone a "dynamic" disk easily. Thank you HP for that nightmare.

Do be honest I am not sure, but I downloaded a TON of stuff and simply moved to an SD card. I had no problems with space at all.

I haven't tried anything that large. I do have a couple of them, but I have only used a 32g thumb drive.
