Micro Center SuperSpeed 5 Pack 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Gum Size Memory Stick Thumb Drive Data Storage Jump Drive (64G 5-Pack)

Fast - no wait time - to finalize a file - no corruption or data issues with the 5 I use now - very good product - I hope to see them double the capacity - and do just as well ! Tech Reviews - Microsoft - Hi-Tech Info - Dell.

I've bought microcenter's store brand usb drives since the days when 16 GB was bleeding edge, and with a few exceptions, I've found them cost effective, reliable (any flash stick can fail, but I've had only a couple of failed drives of several dozen over the years) and decent speed. This current generation I find writes at about 4 megaBYTES per second and read at around 30. I offer one warning about the microcenter brand: From time to time they seem to switch manufacturers; whoever they've used for years makes drives with transparent, tinted shells and activity LEDs. This is the kind we're discussing here, and I recommend them without reservation. On occasion they offer a batch from someone else, detectable by opaque, pastel colored shells and no activity light. I've found the 256 pastel versions work with some PCs, but are not detected by others. Recently, they've offered pastel 512's, also without activity light: the 512's I won't even buy, so I can't comment on whether they're imperfectly compatible like the 256's I have tried. I do not recommend the pastel style drives. These are the tinted/LED style I do recommend. Just be careful you're getting the tinted style; they sometimes don't make the difference clear on their own web site (show photos of the tinted style but actually sell the pastel style.) To summarize, these are the tinted/LED style, and I recommend them without reservation.

Worked like a charm, needed it to back up my music library. Excellent, good value

I use these for backing up data that customers want from their phones. That means they are basically one time use for me. For that reason I am not concerned about long term or repeated use so I can't speak to that. They are inexpensive and get the job done.

Worked exactly as they should. Transfer rate is on par. The storage capacity was as listed. And the quality and durability are great. 10/10 will purchase again.
