> 3 dayIf you have kids who need flash drives for school, or if you fool around with bootable Linux distributions, these things are great. I have both, so Im always in the need to flash drives. These 8GB drives work well under Windows and Linux, and have a little red LED hidden on the end of the device, to let you see disk activity. They have a metal shell which pivots back to reveal the USB plug. They arent super fast, but they are fast enough for what I need them for.

> 3 dayA really nice pack of USBs. They arrived well-packed. My computer has no issue detecting them and the storage space it should have is all there. Very happy with the quality and the amount you get.

Greater than one weekThis is a 10-pack of USB drives, 4 GB in size. the drives are nicely packaged in firm foam in a flat box. They all appear to be new, as the protectors are a little stiff when you open them. They have no logos or markings on them, so they would be good for putting your own emblem on if you want to use them for promotional items. I tested about half of them. They all register as being formatted with FAT32 - which should be readable by just about everything - and show 3.8 GB free on the drive - which is about correct for a 4 GB drive that has been formatted FAT32. At 4 GB, theyre not huge in capacity so you wont be backing up your entire music and video collection onto them, butt theyre the perfect size for transferring regular size documents or photos among computers, or to mail to family with pictures of the kids, or to make sure you have a copy of that important document for work in your pocket, and so on. And you cant really beat the price for a 10-pack. Great drives. Theyll be useful in my office.

> 3 dayThis is a reasonable price for these 10 4-GB flash drives. For some things I need larger and faster drives. These work well for sharing files or pictures with friends. I can give them the drive and tell them to keep it when theyre $2.50 or less each. I used disc utility on my iMac to reformat one and to see if that made any difference on how it worked. My computer used and read both formats with no problems. The files I loaded werent large and loaded quickly on both.

> 3 dayBuild quality: Overall the drive is the quality I would expect given the price. There arent any defects. The rotating cover can be removed if desired, but is held on very well and unlikely to come off by accident. Speed With write speeds at 3-4 MB/s this is very slow to use about 4 minutes per GB (30 minutes per USB.) Read speeds are more reasonable (~20Mb/s) With that being said you must realize there is always a trade-off between speed and price. This product is optimizing price so I expect the speed to be slow. Reliability I havent had any issues with any of the 10 drives I received, all of them detected and successfully completed a transfer. I have used one of the 10 drives somewhat extensively for a few larger transfers as well as a speed test (includes several file writes) and have had no issues there. Why I like these drives I periodically need to send or give a USB drive that I really dont expect back, in those cases you really want the lowest cost reliable drive you can get. Thats what these are great for. They are particularly handy for sending out a large volume of pictures that would otherwise hit transfer limits just realize it will take a while (~ 1/2 to fill the drive) Final thoughts: These drives are by no means high performance but they are the lowest cost option for offline file transfer, and if that is your goal I highly recommend them.

> 3 dayI bought my first IBM computer, and for memory had only two floppy drives. Not until 1984 a hard drive was affordable and contained 10 MB. At the time, we thought 10 MB would be all we would ever need. These thumb drives have 8 GIGABYTES per drive. They are well-built and are as fast as youll ever need. Ideal for music, videos, and backup.

Greater than one weekI work in IT, and I go through enough of these that its always handy to have more. At this price point I dont feel bad about never getting it back from whomever I had to copy the data for. I also like the swivel cover to try and keep lint out of the USB connector. The light is a nice touch (not something I regularly see on a pocket flash drive at this price point) which is useful to let you know that its in use and not to yank it from the port. Getting a ten-pack means that I will supplied with these for a month or so and the cost per drive is so low that these are borderline disposable. I did some checking of the drives and they are initially formatted as Fat32 with no name. They show a capacity of 7.48GB (which is correct given this is on Windows). I ran one through the ringer with CrystalDiskMark and it performed at the speeds I would expect. Overall, for the price and what I want these to do, I think they are a good value for the ten-pack.

30-11-20248Gb is pretty much a commodity drive size these days. Low cost, but still perfectly useful for most files - or as installer drives for most operating systems, which is primarily why I picked these up. The drives have a reasonably good feel to them. I dont know how sturdy they are - I pried one apart that wasnt fully closed tightly with a thumbnail - but unless youre spending your day driving your car on them or throwing them at high speed, it shouldnt be an issue. Even with this size of drive being commonly, cheaply available, Im aware of scam drives out there - normally SSDs instead of tiny thumb drives - so I made it a point to test a random few of these. Theyre formatted by default with FAT32, which will handle small files but has a 4 Tb max size. If you have a single, larger file, youll want to reformat as exFAT. I transferred multiple smaller video files on one drive, and one large video file that nearly filled the drive on another after reformatting. Both gave the reported capacity and played the files back perfectly. So, yeah. Need some useful USB drives, go ahead and look into these.

> 3 dayThese flash drives are nice for giving to customers with up to 8GB of data. They are inexpensive enough that you need not worry about getting the drive back. They are USB 2.0 drives and read and write at a reasonable speed. They are not going to break any speed records for read/write but they work fine for everyday use.

> 3 dayThese have been great. We own a photo booth business and at the end of the night I put all the photos on a thumb drive for our hosts. These have worked perfect. I put 100-200 photos at a time on them and they have been perfect. No issues. Easy to work and the box was nice that they came in.
