Centon USB 2.0 Pro (Grey), 4GB

Working real good, I will deal with this company again.

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.

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.

I have been using this flash drive for about a year now, and I use it A LOT to transfer and backup files, on a daily basis. Yes, I have lost all files a couple of times and had to reformat the drive. But that happens so rarely compared to how often it does work that I think its almost insignificant. However, after a year of extensive use the USB connectors have worn out (I guess), and it takes some wiggling around for it to be recognized by the computer. Another note: I really like the small size of it, and its pretty sturdy. I also have a TwinMOS Mobile Disk III (the cap and the lock switch broke in no time) and one from ScanDisc (the cracking sound it makes when you push out the USB connector is annoying), but the Centon is simply much sleeker and less annyoing.

This USB is perfect for me. Its nice and small and works like a charm. Best of all, I didnt spend an arm and leg on it!

Lots of storage for a good price

Im having the same trouble as everyone here. Its a piece of junk, dont waste your money on it. I have already gone through 2 of these.

I have one of these. I used it once and it worked. Id only use it to transfer pics or docs that were already backed up on something else. Look if you cant get this in 2014 for under $5.00 dont get it!

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.
