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

While not a brand name I was recognised, 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. Not only that, when plugged into the USB hub, both drives played a little crazy: The Windows sound effect "USB off" played continuously, without "on" in between. The odds of two individually packaged OBE flash drives getting corrupted 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.
