Micro Center SuperSpeed 5 Pack 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Thumb Drive, Brown

I'm a long time Micro Center fan and these are yet another solid product! They do have some hit or miss moments in different batches of flash drives, but the warranty should be alright though I thankfully haven't had any issues with them yet. They aren't the fastest drives out there, but they work fine for basic stuff like bootable drives and utilities. I've got a few used for Ventoy and so far they've been reliable. The read speeds are decent, but the writes are where it slips. I recommend Micro Center drives, very good value!

Work great for boot media.

Am scanning hundreds of pictures for a friend. He wanted to use CD.s. I convinced him that thumb drives were the way to go. I ordered these, 5 for $20, filled one up and he was convinced. They are 32gigs. each which is plenty of room for all his pics. EASy to use as well. Didn't have to buy a program for burning CD.s Just copy and paste. Perfect.

Worked great! I ordered 10 of the 32GB USB 3.1 drives. Would have given them 5 stars, but one of the ten died while I was trying to burn an ISO to it. Tried to recover, but no dice. Looks like the memory controller died on it. It was super hot when removing it. All in all, about what I would have expected.

I do some light file transfers from time to time. I need USB drives for copying some documents or making bootable USB sticks for reinstalling stuff. I like to use these USB drives for lighter file transfers stuff 1GB and under. Overall the sticks are pretty slow with regards to their speed of writing data they write at about 4-15 megabytes per second. It's not amazingly fast, but it gets the job done. Getting for USB sticks for $20 or so was a steal. If you're doing heavy file transfers of 10-20gb this will be pretty slow at writing that amount of data, but if you're doing light file transfers these will do the job just fine. For bigger files I'd recommend getting a faster USB stick or getting an external SSD to speed things up, but I use these sparingly, so I don't mind they take a bit longer than premium thumbdrives or SSDs. I used to be in IT and we had faster thumbdrives for copying data because we were copying data all the time and we needed faster performance. I use these cheap ones for just stuff for family, friends, or personal use. If you don't mind the slower transfer speeds these drives will do just fine for 90% of home users. For a person heavy into IT or big on High-Performance Tech probably look elsewhere for faster drives.
