They are ALREADY failing. I have a bunch of files on these flash drives that I can't transfer because of the constant connection failure. The quality of these unnamed sticks is extremely poor. The "metal" piece that flips up to protect the plug is not metal at all, it's PLASTIC. Is it really a lot cheaper to paint plastic with silver paint than just using metal? After looking at old USB sticks that I've had for YEARS and have lasted the YEARS, I'm sad that this quality just doesn't exist anymore. The age of high-end electronics is over, replaced by that lousy plastic junk that breaks within weeks of purchase. How is it "progress"? I just hope I get at least a partial refund for this junk. More importantly, I hope I can salvage the important data that I have stored on those flash drives that I'm having trouble getting onto when these things start working with errors.
