Actually, I misremembered. It is important for me to point out that the
seller is in Malaysia,not China. It was shipped from California,
however.
The ebay listing says Chino, not China. Like, in California.

Yup, and no amount of begging gets them to change how my connection is.

I'd like to offer a 3rd possibility. It's possible the drive
itself could be counterfeit. There are plenty of websites out
there with more information, but I'll include this snippet from
Wikipedia.
A way to test that would be to re-create the 10GB (?) partition at the
beginning, write zeros to it, partition the rest for your drive, see if
that works, then go back and check if the bytes in the first partition are
still zero.

What is the model of this thing? It could be that the electronics doing

John,
1 of 2 things is going wrong here.
The first is that these USB drives are broken/poorly designed. You can test
this by using a completely different computer and/or OS to do the format.
The second is that your computer is failing to format them properly.

I tried again, and still no luck, but then I tried mkfs.ext2, and that
worked. I now have a filesystem that I can mount, although it shows up
as owned by root.

And, I've had the service since late last October. Like Jim's installation
The external OTN comes in the house as copper for the phone and Ethernet for
the 'Net.

I've had FiOS since before Verizon sold them. They set mine up slightly
differently.
The OTN converts to coax, and that is converted to ethernet with a transceiver
inside the house. That transceiver has a very small amount of memory. If you
have a larger than average number of devices for a

I recently bought two 256GB USB drives from an eBay seller in China.
They arrove yesterday, and I quickly discovered that they had two
partitions, a small one of about 10GB and another with the rest of the
drive. The literature
