32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Pnstaw Swivel Memory Stick Thumb Drive Pen Drives Jump Drive for Data Storage, File Sharing(10 Pack,Multi-Color) (32GB)

Bought these summer 2019. Product as described and works well. Nice color coordinated lanyards. Some issues though. Red light glows or, worse, flashes while the USB is plugged in. Nothing to indicate the up side that I can discern, so I can make my own mark or try both ways each time I use the USB. Also, on laptop use, these seem a bit loose, and the lightest nudge results in an inadvertent ejection and attendant computer message. Otherwise, they seem to be sturdy and very nice design and colors. Nice storage box as well.

Cute and functional

These are super for our office. I can assign a color to each project and keep it that way. Easy to clear and reuse multiple times. Co-workers love them for gathering info at one spot and plugging into another. Great value. Dont mind handing out to guests, if needed, at this price.

the cost savings are in the speed. if you plan to transfer a 2gb video to the drive, set aside at least an hour.

Out of the box (of 10) , these flash drives were formatted exFAT. I reformatted to NTFS and tested writing a group of files totaling 120MB and the time spent is 12+min! Painfully long for 120MB that takes under 40sec with a Sandisk Cruzer Glide 64MB formatted NTSF using the same PC. I retested with other flash drives from the box and reformatted NTSF and the result is the same! I subsequently initiated a return that is promptly handled thru the Amazon website. I was packing the flash drives for return today and suddenly Bulb! Maybe the flash drive controller cannot handle the NTSF file system? Correct! If you keep the exFat format these drives came with then transferring the 120MB group of files above is under 45sec which is practically OK. Also reformatting to FAT32 would yield a similar writing time under 45sec. I have not use these drives long enough to report their reliability, but surface testing with utilitie like Minitool Partition Wizard reported No Error. You may surface test in Windows Command Prompt Administrator with command CHKDSK /X /F /R, that I also did and it returned no error. In summary these drives work well with exFAT and FAT32 format but stay away from NTSF format.

Good

i store everything on these color coded flashdrives i have an old win 7 $247 dollah computer and it moves right along cause its not jammed with junk just dump all your pics and downloads on these

Pros: feel and look high quality. No plastic housing around contact points that cracks and is flimsy causing poor connection later (which I have seen). Kudos to Pnstaw on quality packaging too, your customers worldwide thank you for not just dropping them in a plastic bag. main pro: good luck find a better value or quality for the price tag. CONS: 1 of the 10 was DOA. Other 9 worked fine but . . .are . . . SLOOOWW. From local HDD was around 4mb/s on one, from NAS across Cat-5 to another was brutally slow < 2 Mb/s but was also moving large chunk at once (should have used copy instead, and del original after finished, I think windows may handle that faster?) was 12.8gb pasted at once. *for frame of reference tech/specs: NAS unit is RAID setup on standard magnetic HDDs [2x500gb] 7200s and yes, that data copying was the only thing reading/writing actively (PC was not online updating anything or other apps running). ADVICE IF YOU PURCHASE: when formatting FAT32 is old but works better on all types of devices (not just PC). DRAWBACK is FAT32 max file size is around 4gb and more likely/easily files can be corrupted. So if you are transferring large audio/video/zip files you will definitely want to format as NTFS when you first get it. I would say everyone should try NTFS first really... f you will only use in windows youre good, and if not - COPY some files to it to test/try on your non-windows device in question. If it doesnt work format again (FAT)

I use these mostly to download all of my crochet project. and for other training I do. I would definitely get more. and when I got them the Price was great for 10 of them.

These thumb drives work fine for a couple of weeks but then they start dropping connectivity. The drive is plugged in and the light is on and im using the files on it but then it stops showing up on my computer and then reconnects and disconnects over and over for no apparent reason.
