Having just had 2 rather elderly memory sticks fail on me I bought 2 x 64 gig SanDisk ones to replace them @£6.99 each from Sainsburys. Cheap as chips actually. (the old ones held nothing really important). These new ones are USB3 type and was surprised when I went to save images it politely told me surprisingly, though that I would have to format them first. I have never ever had to format a memory stick before - yes with CD's a long while ago, but never with memory sticks. Is this something new? Has it got something to do with them being USB 3 type?
There was also a facility to encrypt whatever I stored on them, but had to download software to do so - I declined. Probably OK for business use but I don't need the stick to be encrypted
Yes they are damn fast to store images or get them to open up, but why the formatting first?
