Is this just a normal glitch, or is it a sign of something more sinister? I'm aware that flash drives have relatively short lifespans compared to hard drives, so I want to know if it's time to switch to a new flash drive.

Could be an isolated incident with you not plugging it in properly. I had that happen with my 8gb memory card on my card reader with the PC asking to format it and thought it was corrupted until I tried it on my laptop. Trying it back on my PC worked again.
