Review on Netac Thumb Drive 16GB USB Flash Drive - Efficient Rotating Design - USB Stick 2.0 Jump Drive 16GB by Jeremy Black

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Too good to be true

Although I don't know a brand name, it was too good to be true. a 64 GB USB stick costs less than ten dollars. Reviews seemed mostly positive. In fact, it was so cheap that I ordered two. It really was too good a deal to be true. I'm a computer engineer. I know how to use a flash drive, how to copy files to it, and how to format them. Both drives not only failed to copy files to them, but also failed to format them properly. One of them worked for a while and then failed after just copying a few files to it. The other didn't work at all. Bit of that both drives when connected to a USB hub Going a bit crazy due to the continuous, continuous Windows "USB off" sound effect without "turning on" in between. The odds of BOTH flash drives packaged separately failing are pretty astronomical, but that's exactly what happened. I will never buy this brand again and will buy something with a name I know like SanDisk.
