How to tell the difference between flash drives?

Question

USB

Hello dear!
Tell me, please, the ALPINE CDE-W235BT radio tape recorder is very picky about flash drives - it reads only a select few. I can not understand the difference between these very chosen ones from all the others. Subjectively, the radio tape recorder "eats" older models better. I already have a mountain of flash drives on the table and I sit and analyze. All are formatted in FAT32, the cluster size is 4 KB, and on large sizes 8 KB.
Here, for example, is an 8 GB Silicon Power tape recorder that you like, which works great in it - information from the Flash Drive Information Extractor program:

But with Kingston 8GB. doesn't want to be friends.

I see the only obvious difference in the line Declared Power - for working flash drives it is 500 mA, and for non-working 200. Can this affect the perception of flash drives by the radio or is the dog buried in something else?
Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Well, you yourself write the obvious answer =)
Find one that works at 200mA and this will disprove the theory.

Answer 2

Have you tried NTFS?

Answer 3

Perhaps there is incorrect initialization in the radio tape recorder ... there is probably some kind of microcontroller with custom firmware instead of Linux.

Answer 4

The main problem with USB new and old, as I noticed, is the fact that some normal flash drives are visually large with chips, etc., and the second kind of slims are very compact, so I have a big suspicion that your radio tape recorder eats exactly flash drives from the first type I cited, and the second type is all kinds of date travelers and card readers on the same board, it does not perceive them. But the information that you posted is not enough to accurately confirm this fact, use chip genius software to determine what kind of thing you have in your hands a normal flash drive or card reader. Somehow I hope I explained myself clearly =)
PS: I just saw the date .... with slow ... = \
