My memory is that it was the old version of dosftools on the device that under some fairly common circumstances didn't clear the dirty bit. This was updated in firmware 4.23 (I think) and I remember lots of comments about prompt completely not appearing.

Now it is back. But, the comments here seem to imply it never went away. I've always had an occasional occurrence, but, I agree it is worse recently. This might be firmware 4.31.x. Or it might be a change in Windows. From the reports, I don't have a clear picture of whether it is reduced by going back to 4.30.x.

If this is a firmware problem, then Linux or Mac users would see it as well. But, they don't tend to report the drive is dirty in the same way as Windows does. I think you would need to manually check for this. I don't have access to a Linux box at the moment to check.
