What happened?

I prepared a Corsair Voyager GTX SCSI USB drive for Ventoy using the Ventoy2Disk.exe utility with the following options:

  • Secure Boot Support: Unchecked
  • Partition Style: GPT
  • Partition Configuration
    • File System For Ventoy Partition: exFAT, NTFS
    • Preserve some space at the end of the disk: Unchecked
    • Align partitions with 4KB: Checked

I clicked the "Install" button and it created the Ventoy drive successfully. However, after unplugging and re-plugging in the USB drive, the USB drive's Ventoy partition takes forever to show in File Explorer and other programs. Sometimes, the Ventoy partition never shows up in File Explorer and other programs. Sometimes, I receive timeout errors by Windows and the USB LED light continuously flashes trying to mount the Ventoy partition in File Explorer.

Formatting this drive with only one partition allows the USB to mount successfully consistently. Tested unplugging and re-plugging and couldn't get the File Explorer hang delay to occur when the USB has one partition.
