Hello everyone...

I’ve been running an old desktop setup for about 8 years now, powered by an ATI Radeon 3850 HD. For my day-to-day tasks, it still gets the job done just fine.
The issue is that this card lacks an HDMI port, and I really need one to hook my computer up to my TV...
I'm not looking for some high-end powerhouse or a cutting-edge beast, especially since the rest of my build is quite dated. I just need something with decent specs—comparable to what I have now or perhaps a slight step up—that includes an HDMI output.

To be honest, I’ve been completely out of the loop regarding hardware for the last few years. I stopped keeping up with component releases quite a while ago, so I'm feeling a bit lost navigating the current market...

Exactly... It just throws an error immediately.

When I plug this drive into my PC, the first thing that happens is a prompt asking me to format the USB... there are two options: format or cancel. If I select
format, it just throws that error message at me again... and after that, the computer won't recognize it at all. It doesn't show up in File Explorer, and I can't even find it using
MiniTool Partition Wizard... Interestingly, when I try it on my Mac, everything works perfectly fine without any issues.

First off, it would need to recognize the drive before I could even begin formatting it...

macOS was unable to format the USB drive... or something along those lines.

To give you some context, I'm working with a 32GB Corsair Flash Voyager 3.0.

A few days ago, I plugged it into my computer and received a prompt stating that the drive needed to be formatted. I went ahead and clicked format, but I just kept getting the error message mentioned in the title. I even tried using MiniTool Partition Wizard, but the software doesn't even recognize the drive is connected.

I also attempted to troubleshoot it on my Mac, but that didn't work either; the system won't detect it there either.

Has this drive finally given up the ghost, or is there still a chance I can salvage it?

Can gentlemarlin642 help me out?

Sure thing, just reach out to Sash.
