Yep, I just got done sticking in a whole pile of old flash drives that
are all smaller ones, because some of them have data on them, and I
wanted to move all the data to one 32gb drive because I get tired of
finding drives with data everytime I need a blank one. So, each one of
them had to do the "found new hardware" thing. 

However, after putting all the blank one away, I reinserted all the ones
with data and they did not do the "new hardware" thing again. 

But I had two brand new 32 gb of the same brand (identical). I did not
expect the second one to do this. Now I know why it did though.

At least now I got a whole pile of 1gb 2gb 4 gb and 8gb drives and all
of them are blank.... Everything got moved to one 32gb drive. TOmorrow
I'll probably sort thru that and remove all the junk....
