This issue often arises due to limitations of the FAT file system. Many manufacturers format USB disks in the FAT format. When attempting to copy over 255 files to the USB disk simultaneously, this restriction can trigger the error message. To address this, you can either create a new folder or re-format the USB disk to FAT32 or exFAT. However, it's worth noting that FAT format is the most compatible with most operating systems.

If you can't access files larger than 4GB, your USB drive is likely formatted as FAT32, which has a 4GB file size limit. To fix this, back up your data and reformat the drive to exFAT or NTFS using these steps:

Connect the USB drive and open File Explorer.

Right-click the drive and select "Format."

Choose exFAT or NTFS as the file system.

Click "Start" to format.

This will allow you to store files larger than 4GB.

OTG stands for "USB On-The-Go." It allows smartphones or tablets to connect directly to USB peripherals, acting as a host without needing a computer.

USB 3.2 is the latest iteration of the USB (Universal Serial Bus) standard, offering even faster data transfer speeds and improved connectivity options compared to previous versions. USB 3.2 supports data transfer rates of up to 20 Gbps, making it significantly faster than its predecessors. Additionally, USB 3.2 introduces new features such as USB Type-C connectivity and improved power delivery capabilities, making it a versatile and efficient choice for modern computing needs.

USB 1.0, USB 1.1, and USB 2.0 are earlier versions with progressively faster data transfer speeds. USB 3.0 introduced SuperSpeed with faster transfer rates. USB 3.1 and USB 3.2 offer even faster speeds and additional features like USB-C connectivity.

Certainly, here are the speeds associated with each USB version in megabytes per second (MB/s):

- USB 1.0: Up to 1.5 MB/s

- USB 1.1: Up to 1.5 MB/s

- USB 2.0: Up to 60 MB/s

- USB 3.0: Up to 600 MB/s

- USB 3.1: Up to 1000 MB/s

- USB 3.2: Up to 20Gbps

Before transferring files, it's essential to check your file system format. Keep in mind that the FAT16 format supports individual file sizes up to 2 GB, while FAT32 allows up to 4 GB. For files exceeding 8 GB (including 8 GB), utilizing the NTFS or exFAT file format is necessary. Make sure your file system format is compatible with the size of the files you intend to transfer.

The "Stream Loss" error message commonly appears when transferring data from an NTFS-formatted storage device to a FAT or FAT32-formatted Flash drive. Typically, encountering a "Stream Loss" message does not lead to data loss or damage, allowing you to proceed without concern. This error message automatically generates a "Thumbs.db" file in a folder using the NTFS format. However, deleting the "Thumbs.db" file before copying the folder will prevent this error message from occurring.

It is safe to remove a USB drive from a computer after ensuring that the operating system prompts for safe removal of the device. In the Windows operating system, you can click on the notification icon in the taskbar at the bottom right corner, locate the USB device, right-click on it, and select "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media". 

First, ensure to back up your files and proceed to format your flash drive. Formatting will erase all data, including any viruses present. If a virus reappears after formatting, it's likely that your computer is infected and the virus is being reintroduced. In such cases, it's important to address the virus on your computer to prevent it from infecting your flash drive again. Contact your computer maintenance vendor or antivirus software company for assistance in resolving the infection issue.

Please repeat the process on another computer. If you encounter the same error message, the flash drive may be damaged. Please reach out to KingSpec's Customer Service for assistance with the issue
