| Sep 17, 2016 at 16:53 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | If you are intending this to be the canonical question, of and for the community to enhance, would it be worth making it community wiki? That could encourage community editing to make a single more authoritative question and answer. | |
| Sep 17, 2016 at 4:58 | comment | added | fixer1234 | Mixed thoughts. On one hand, I agree. On the other, we've got a canonical malware thread intended to cover every imaginable type of malware. It does get lengthy for a user to find their specific problem and sort through all of the advice. OTOH, it sure is convenient on our end. But I'm good either way. and BTW, thanks for contributing this. | |
| Sep 17, 2016 at 4:52 | comment | added | bwDraco | Well, they're different failure modes: one involves an actual inability to access data due to a specific condition (no media in drive, NAND not readable) while the other is simply an inability to write to the drive (controller blocks writes to the NAND, which is otherwise working). We generally want separate questions to be in separate posts, and combining the two might actually confuse readers. | |
| Sep 17, 2016 at 4:49 | comment | added | fixer1234 | This is closely related to superuser.com/questions/871850/…. Would it be better to keep them separate or merge the new Q&A into the old one to create a master "my flash drive turned to crap" thread? I'm good either way (and the new one is up to your usual exemplary standards). For brain-challenged users, a single thread might be easier to keep track of. :-) | |
