I believe Damon said the stick is "Mac formatted" -- but for the record, yes, ExFat formatted drives occasionally get flaky/corrupted on Macs.
I have a back-up drive with 3 partitions -- 2 Mac formatted, and 1 ExFat so I can transfer large finished videos from my clients' PC workstations for my sample reel. Every so often, the ExFat partition refuses to mount, even though the 2 Mac partitions mount without issue.
Although the partition doesn't appear on the desktop, it is reflected with a generic drive name in Disk Utility -- disk0s4, or something to that effect.
There is a Terminal command process that brings it back. I found it online, but if anyone needs it, PM me and I'll send it along.

Was it ExFat formatted? Had a few drive issues around these corrupting, possibly not being properly ejected.
Equally I've had a few SanDisk thumb drives give up the ghost in the past. Have always chucked + repurchased.
