Amazon's Choice: Overall Pick

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
