Drive failed- Twice!

I bought this a few years ago, it worked for a while until the drive failed. I thought the price was good enough to tolerate the mediocre lifespan, and the kids liked it enough to buy a replacement. The replacement just died on me after only a couple months. We used it maybe 10 times, tops. Both times: "Cannot Access Media Drive while it is plugged in to USB" even though it is not plugged in. Both times, it fails to be recognized when I do try to plug it in... And of course, SanDisk support is "Try X, try Y, try Z... if these fail, the disk is non-functional" So, now, i've bought two of these, both are non-functional. With no recourse. Shame on me, I thought I was buying something that wasn't junk. Turns out this is junk. Here's my caveat to you: I did get 3 years out of the first one. I guess that's ok. The second one... 10 weeks. That is not ok.
