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)

I'm gonna start by echoing other reviews, these are not the fastest drives around, plain and simple. If you're looking for something super fast for a lot of writing data to the drive, look elsewhere like Sandisk, Samsung, or Kingston. These are slow to write, they're fine at first starting a transfer and then the write speed will tank if the files are anything of substance. But if you're doing mostly read intensive stuff these are fine. Mine have been great for bootable USB drives with Windows ISOs, macOS installers and patchers, and Ventoy. The read speeds are stable and fine enough for that in my experience. They might also be ok for a write occasionally read sometimes backup, but they should NOT be your only backup. (3-2-1 rule!!). If you need something simple, like bootable drives, a drive to throw some music/videos/media on and play on a TV/car/media player, store very simple small word documents and stuff, or you're ok with slow writes, these are fine for that. I'm not sure if this has applied to the 64GB model, but for other capacities there was inconsistency in reviews with some having status/activity LEDs and some not. I can say that the two 64GB drives I got in March 2024 DO have activity LEDs, but knowing how these drives are produced there's always a chance a different batch later on could have different parts and thus no LED, and then another batch could bring it back, so it's a toss up. Overall, I'm a loyal Micro Center customer and their drives on Amazon are wonderful value and I'm glad to be able to get them easily here instead of taking a big trip to the physical location!

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.

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.

I use a lot of flash drives for audiobooks and music, so that's what I got this one for. I usually go with the 64GB drives but this one was so cheap I figured why not? Well I can tell you why not. Ultimately, I wish I'd just paid a few $ more and gone with a different brand because I realize now that it's cheap for a reason... The drive itself works-sort of--but its plastic casing is cheap and flimsy. Like the kind of flimsy that you expect to break if you drop it. It's definitely not the sort of drive i would recommend putting on your key chain or putting in your pocket or backpack to carry around with you. I might end up relegating it to the car for times when i've got no other sources of music with me to plug into the stereo (though i'm not sure it would even agree to work there for me). As far as performance goes, it works (sort of) and has decent speed. It worked alright in my MacBook but when I plugged it into my dad's apple desktop to get some music it didn't work. His computer just wouldn't recognize it; it kept making that thinking sound like it knew it was there but couldn't read it. Right after this I tried it in my mom's MacBook (it recognized it with zero problems), but I ended up having to borrow a flash drive from my dad because I had to get the whole Beatles catalog from his desktop. My best advice is: pay a few $ more for a more trustworthy brand (personally, I like the PNY brand cause I have a bunch and none of them have ever failed me, even after years use). UPDATE: so it's been several months and I've raised my rating because after buying some other cheap drives, I TAKE IT ALL BACK! Forget what I said above! This might not be the absolute best, but it's definitely the best consistently cheap flash drive i can find. Some of the other flash drives I bought have been really horrible in comparison and they just made me realize that the only problem I ever had with this one was the one time my dad's computer didn't recognize it. Aside from that one day, this drive's been working great for me (the first one I bought is full and it's still pretty fast!).

Good reliable memory

My favorite brand flash drives. Pros: Internal LED to show USB activity. USB 3.0 fast file transfers when plugged into a USB 3.0 (blue) port. Great price. Cons: Cap is completely removable and will probably get lost easily. I would buy again. These read in every device I plug them into, while some other brands formatted the same exact way would not read in my car stereos USB port to play music from the USB drive. These just work everytime.

I buy these because while they're cheaper, they don't feel or operate like cheap thumb drives. I have a whole drawer full of blank ones that I use like floppy disk. They're cheap enough to hand out with data and for some people they're easier to use than getting an email with a link.

Very fast - and no data errors - found yet - will test the key to the very end to be sure !

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.

It works very well - fast video save and read time. Lots of space for a day to TV for playback. Use your computer as your PVR.
