Centon USB 2.0 Pro (Grey), 4GB

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.

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

Works as it should. Good value.

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.

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

I have been buying flash drives since they first came out and as their capacity gets larger and larger, I keep buying the next larger capacity ones. So far, the only one that has failed is the Centon DataStick Pro (4 GB). I filled it up with data as a back-up for my hard drive and just went to get some of that data and it can not be read. I took it to a friend and his newer computer can not read it either. I tried on a brand new Windows 7 machine and it can not read it. It is the first drive of this type that I have seen fail and I have quite a few different sizes and brands.

Encryptable, too, and maxes out at four just as advertised. Fast retrieval of data...js

Ive had many flash drives, and whatever the brand they always did what was expected. Not this piece of junk. After only a couple of days working with it, it suddenly couldnt be read, and needed to be reformatted. Dont be suckered into the low price, youll only get junk.

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.

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.
