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)

This is my favorite form factor for USB flash drives- no caps to lose, no sliding mechanisms to jam with pocket lint. Speed is decent. The lanyards are nice- makes them harder to lose, easier to find when they slip between the couch cushions. However, I tested each one out of the box with Flash Drive Tester, and while the capacity was as rated, every drive had between two and twenty recoverable write errors, which I reproduced with multiple USB controllers to be sure it was an issue with the drive, not the computer. I dont know the significance of the write errors- other utilities dont report them, but it is something I havent experienced with name-brand drives. Nonetheless, after running them through FDT, I formatted each one and ran Windows 10 chkdsk, and have had zero issues since then. Flash Drive Tester writes over every bit, so no worries about malware that you see with some cheap USB drives (assuming that you have autorun disabled.) I use them as boot drives for utilities like Clonezilla, offline virus scanning, etc. Im not sure Id use them for storing critical documents unless I had a backup due to the initial errors. My only real complaint is that the darker colors obscure the activity LED almost completely.

A little cheap feeling but Cant complain because they work very well.

These are great flash drives.

Got these for routine computer backups at work. There are a lot of cheap usb flash drives on Amazon with poor reviews for quality or longevity. These were rated fairly well, and I needed something reliable and durable, so I got the 10 pack so Id have backups. So far so good. Only gave it 4 stars because one of the 10 was DOA right out of the package. No computer in the office would even recognize it. The other 9 installed immediately, plug and play. Given that I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this, Id say a cheap 10 pack like this with only 1 bad drive is better than most available on Amazon, until you start looking at drives 2 or 3 times the price.

The set I got worked fine and were easy to use. Good for the price!

Just what I needed. Different colors can be used for different categories of files.

I like to offer my clients images or video on the spot at a shoot. This is the best way to insure I can do that for them.
