The problem is the following:
i plug my usb in any of my usb ports (both 2.0 and 3.0), transfer a file to the usb from my computer, after that when i can see the file is on the usb i use the "eject disk".
But when i plug the usb in my laptop or back into my computer i just disconnected it from the file is gone.

if i transfer the file in a folder, it keeps the folder but the file is gone, same if i make the file into a rar/zip file i keep the rar/zip but its empty.

this only seem to happen with any movie format i try to move.

i have scanned my computer but it found nothing wrong on the system
the files are working before i move them.
the usb if working as long as its not a video file.
if im transfering from my laptop to the main computer its working fine, its only the other way around its failing.
its not a hidden file. the space is freed up after the file disappears.

Hope someone can help me figuring this out because its really annoying that i keep loosing my files.
if you need me to do something to test your teories feel free to ask, but just keep in mind i dont know alot about computers so dont use "big words" :p

So the NTFS i tryed finally finished (took 12hours.. WTF), and it did not work.
My friend gave me another way to transfer files and im just going to use a network harddisk that i can connect to from anywhere with the ip for it :) ill use that and stop using my usb ports, but thanks for the effort on helping me :)

Based on what you just said, it sounds like your USB drive is toast. Consider an Adata 128 GB USB thumb drive. They are metal and offer a lifetime warranty. There may be others too that fit this description, but as a user of several Adata products including their USB drives, I have not had any issues.

Keep in mind that once you open a port in your router for Samba or whatever you plan on, the world could have potential access. That's where this comes in at: https://netgate.com/products/sg-1000.html
