Aaand it passed the test with no errors... Guess it will remain a mystery, but hey, at least my instrument is not defective :)

Yes, I'm aware of that, there are specially a lot of counterfeit SanDisk drives. I can't vouch for it because I'm not the one who bought it, but I already have used this drive to successfully install Windows, which does require over 4GB of storage. Nevertheless, I'm running h2testW right now, I'll be posting the results once it's finished, thank you!

I'm finally confident enough on my performance to record it and post a video on YouTube so my family and friends can watch it and now I'm wandering what's the best way to do it with my CDP-S350. I found a lot about techniques (specially concerning the video part) on this very thorough guide, but I'm now having second thoughts on how should I capture the audio part. At first, I tried using the built-in performance recorder and them exporting to a flash drive, but that seems to generate only MRF and SMF files, neither of which are real audio. I think I only have the option using the headphone audio and recording directly on my laptop, but there's two issues: 1) it never sounds that great when I practice with headphones on (could be on the headphones, but they are pretty decent, so I don't know) and 2) I wouldn't be able to hear what I'm playing. I can't really afford to buy an audio interface or other equipment, as they're expensive where I live, but I thought that I could perhaps use one of those "Y" splitters or something like that. Anyways, I thought I could first count on your expertise, has anyone got any tips for me? Thank you!

Here's how it ended: I took it to an authorized technician and he found no problem whatsoever. Turns out that there's hard cap for size at 32GB and perhaps a soft limitation for anything over 4GB. Either that or my 8 GB is fake, I could only vouch for the 64GB one. Anyways, SanDisk doesn't even sell 4GB flash drives anymore, so I purchased some off-brand 4GB drive and it now works!

I'll try the reset! And I'm guessing that for updating firmware I would also need the mount function, right? Oh, boy, it'll be so sad to spend some days without the keyboard now that I'm getting decent at playing, haha

I can't, it has to mount before I can access that option.

Mine are Cruzer Blade as well. Do you happen to use a CDP-S350? Perhaps I should add that I'm in Brazil, but every menu is English etc, I bought the keyboard from a trusted seller as well. And yes, they both work flawlessly with any computer!

They're both SanDisk, which is probably the best flash drive manufacturer (as Kingston focuses on regular drives nowadays). I did a full (not quick) format on my 8GB with no success, so far I have: 8GB/Quick/exFAT = Fail 8GB/Full/exFAT = Fail 8GB/Quick/FAT32 = Fail 8GB/Full/FAT32 = Fail 64GB/Quick/exFAT = Fail 64GB/Full/exFAT = Fail 64GB/Quick/FAT32 = Fail 64GB/Full/FAT32 = another 2h30min before it's formatted

Are you sure? I checked on the userguide (https://support.casio.com/en/manual/008/CDPS350_usersguide_A_EN.pdf) and it mentions both formats on page EN-50 They both work on other devices, I formatted them both on my laptop (Windows 10) and they were all right.

I have a brand new CDP-S350 and it won't mount my flash drives. They're both SanDisk (bought from a trustable seller), one 64GB, one 8GB. For the 64GB, I tried both exFAT and FAT32 (formatted on Windows 10, quick mode), the 8GB one is FAT32. Whenever I follow the procedure described on the userguide, it'll stuck forever on "Mounting..." What can I do to fix that? (Right now, I'm formatting the 64GB with exFAT on normal format to try it out).
