Some of their Models have a micro switch to write protect the drive.

This happened to me once with a 32 GB Patriot drive. It worked fine for several months, but then I got that write protected error. It ended up being a known issue with the drive. I  emailed Patriot and they quickly sent me their formatting tool specific to the drive and now it works again.
