Centon USB 2.0 Pro (Grey), 4GB

Lots of storage for a good price

Purchased this flash drive at a military PX overseas since options are limited. I utilized this drive three times before it stopped working and my computer could not recognize it. What a waste of money. Avoid at all costs.

Ive had one of these 4 gig Centons for a few years now, and Im honestly confused by the wildly different experience between me and apparently everyone else thats used one. Ive never had problems putting files on or getting them off. Ive used it in numerous devices without trouble. I dont think its ever lost a file. More than that, the things more durable than a Swiss-engineered watch. Mines been dropped, stepped on, even went through a bout in the washing machine once. That one, I thought it was dead for sure. But I blew some air through it, let it dry, plugged it in, and it worked just as well as ever. I even backed up the files off of it just to make sure (Id taken to keeping certain must have files on it all the time), expecting it to die any minute. That was early last summer, and its worked as well as ever. Today I thought it had finally bit the big one. I was trying to rearrange my floor mat and knocked over my computer chair. The back struck the datastick where it was sticking out of the front of the computer and I thought it had been bent in two on first glance. Actually, all that had happened was the glue inside holding the board and plug in had come loose, making the case slide off it. It never even lost connection with my computer, let alone lost function. A little glue around the edge of where the plug fits into the case, and despite a now noticeable but subtle curve to its structure, its still good to go. I am now rather worried that Ive pushed it to the limits of its durability, so I came to look up Centon memory sticks. I was shocked at how some of them had one-star ratings, including this one with a bunch of them. Either I have a slightly different model number that was made as durable as everyone elses was made crap, or... well, I dunno or what else, its weird. Hell, Im almost afraid to use anything else for fear one day it will fall out of my pocket, hit a carpeted floor, and become useless, like one of the other memory sticks I used to use.

This was priced wonderfully, shipped accordingly and on time, and it fit my needs. It was wonderful to shop for a product I needed without leaving the house to do so.

Bought this brand new for a transfer of Xbox games. Transfered about half of the games and decided it didnt want to be recognized. only had it for 1 day. 1 Day. Horrible Produt. DO NOT BUY...YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR INFORMATION.

This was a great affordable item. I am using this for a digital picture frame. It really works great. Thank you!

Worst USB Drive ever, it seems that it is built with the cheapest material. Buy Another Brand. It will definitely save you a lot of time.

Outstanding. I work with several brands of laptops at work and this one works great with all brands.

Needed a few small capacity USB drives for use with Subaru firmware updates. Centon was listed as a recommended brand in the Subaru TSB and had outstanding reviews. Drives received very quickly, however half of them were not recognized as storage by anything in the shop. Had coworkers try on personal laptops and same deal. Emailed Centon support (csupport@cxxxx) for help, but have not heard back from them and its been over a week since initial contact. I gave up working with Centon and started a return with Amazon. I realize product defects can and do happen, but Centons customer support seems MIA. I cannot recommend these drives or Centon as a company. If you are storing critical or important data on these, please make backups.

I bought this because it was a great price for the amount of drive space. I loaded it with, among other things, financial files such as Quicken backup files and a spreadsheet of credit card payments. It worked fine for a few weeks. Then last week in the middle of reconciling my Quicken file I got an error message that the drive could not be read. It took several minutes to recover the info. Today it happened again with a spreadsheet. If you want to save a few bucks in the short term, buy one of these. But it looks like Ill be shopping for another flash drive.
