INLAND Micro Center SuperSpeed 10 Pack 32GB USB 3.0/USB3.1 Gen1 Flash Drive Gum Size Memory Stick Thumb Drive Data Storage Jump Drive, 10X Faster Than USB 2.0 USB Drives (32G 10-Pack)

To preface, I like Micro Center a lot and have had a couple of thumb drives from them that I have got for free through coupons. I bought this pack so I have enough on hand for many purposes. A very good value pack of quality thumb drives that can be used for many purposes. I myself use a few of them to store individual ISO files and some with a multi-boot ISO program for holding multiple ISO files on a single drive. They work really well as individual boot drives and decently well as basic storage drives. It transfers small files individually pretty fast. But if your files are pretty large or you are transferring a very large amount of files, then it might feel a bit slow. But that is pretty much a given for most flash drives. Overall, great option for a pack of quality thumb drives that work really well for a handful of use cases.

Make sure to reformat before using and check allocation unit size!

Pros: READ speed is fine Very reliable, never had one fail (on the 32 or 64GB) Nice dust cap that snaps in place Nice hole to put a wire through to keep on your key chain Nice bright, red light to tell you when it's being accessed Con: Very, very slow WRITE speed These drives are fine for storing data like movies or music to put in a TV or car. Very good for making USB utility tools for repairs or operating system installs. They read on all devices just fine. However, just expect long wait times to load things on these drives. If you can deal with that, they work great otherwise.

Wish I could do 4.5 stars. I fully tested every drive and, unfortunately, only 9 out of 10 were 100% good. Only 192KB (384 clusters) were failing on the 10th drive. I know it's an extremely small amount of data considering it's 32GB, but it's enough to make me question it's reliability and longevity. I had same results after multiple passes of cleaning, repartitioning and formatting. Because it's only one drive, it's too much hassle to send all of them back to try another batch. Still recommend them, I just got a little unlucky with one of them.

These are my go to drives for common transfer and backup purposes. On some sticks the light doesn't work but I've yet to get a bad stick. Other brands are faster. These suit my puposes and are economical.
