EASTFUN 5Pcs 8GB USB Flash Drive USB 2.0 Flash Memory Stick Thumb Stick Pen(Five Mixed Colors: Blue Purple Rose Green Gold)

I was looking for cheap usb drives that I wouldnt use more than 4GB each on for various boot utilities, installations, and flashing of firmware. Of course theres always the problem of fake usb drives where the actual space is smaller than indicated and you simply start overwriting data if you exceed the real space. These use Chipsbanks CBM2199a which is a pretty new flash controller and the memory reported as ECD7947E64C4 - Samsung K9HDGY8U5B - 4CE/Single Channel [MLC-8K] I ran them through a 3 pass low level factory format using UMPtool and they are all really 16GB (ish). Benchmark show they are below but close enough to the performance of a Sandisk Cruzer Glide (16GB usb 2.0). However the random write performance is pretty bad. You can compensate for this with disk caching in Windows. Below are the benchmark results. Overall they are 5 stars because the price is great , they arent fake, and the performance is mostly ok.

Great for transferring family photo history to grandchildrern

I use these for photo session deliveries. They hold more than enough. In fact I’ve had repeat clients bring the usb to repeat sessions to add to it. They’ve held up for years.

Good for the price.

Used these to send a number of hours of old home movies to my family

Fast delivery and fair price. This allows me to have an extra flash drive at my fingertips whenever I need one!

I bought these to use for sending tax files to preparer (who can then keep them), for bringing my teaching files back and forth from university, and for transfer of files from an old and new computer. All 5 of the ones I received worked fine. I dont know if I would use them for important longer term backup duty - but for this price and the way they have worked so far - if you want a way to give files to someone and not have to remind them to give it back, or want temporary portable storage where you wont feel that bad if you lose them or they break, then I think these are great.

Great little drive. They come in 3 colors. Have had no problems with them. I love the compact size. They work as designed on my PC.

I use these for my embroidery business. Ive tried dozens of brands. This is the only one that works %100 and also fast. Many brands dont work. Those that do respond very slow. These are the fastest and most reliable. Saves me hours of wait time a month waiting for designs to load. I know my situation is a unique one but wow finally after years of searching I finally found a usb drive thats perfect for embroidery work.

The manufacturer asked me to revise my review as I had complained about the lack of labels. It is my opinion that and media should automatically come with labels or something to record what is on the drives. It is true that they did not state that these came with labels. I cannot, however give 5 Stars becuaseI have not used them all. The one drive that I have used is worth 5 Stars! It worked very well with no problems on my WIN7 Home laptop. No complaints at all! I have not yet filled that drive and have not tested the other four but I have no reason to think there will be any problems. I very much like the portability and also the plastic envelope that keeps them all together and easy to tote.
