I use flash drives to distribute data files to colleagues. I have a few CDs in stock, but I order more every year because some CDs are never returned to me. This batch of 10 discs was of much lower quality than usual. On my standard Win10 (HP) machine, only 5 disks were readable. I had old flash drives in my drawer that worked fine, but I threw away 5 out of 10 new drives. With the corporate brand, it works every time, for many years. Cheap brands don't work reliably in my experience, but this purchase was the worst ever. Instead, I recommend buying well-known brands.
