Review on Silicon Power 32GB USB Flash Drives 2-Pack: Convenient Blue and Green Thumb Drives by Anthony Boylan

This is not my first purchase of Silicon Power memory; I've had one of their SSDs for about five years and although it's completely dark it works perfectly. I had very reasonable expectations for these discs in my opinion. They are "almost" unbelievably cheap. At this price point, if it's real (for a given value of "reality"), they are clearly made with the worst quality flash the company can find - QC rejects rejected Tier 3 OEMs if they are not used parts recovered from decommissioned equipment. I knew that the Dumpster would most likely feature prominently in the backstory of this trip. I expected speed to be overrated; I expected the performance to be pretty mediocre. All I needed was a device to copy tons of stuff from my laptop with no optical drive to my desktop so I could burn it to BD-R. As long as files could be read from a disc at 2x BD-R write speeds, I was ready to rejoice, especially at this price point. without accidentally disconnecting and damaging any file on it) this supposedly "128GB" drive doesn't actually contain 128GB. It also doesn't fit 115GB or 110GB or whatever the marketers think is close to 128GB. No, it actually does. 16 GIGABYTES. Carefully disassembling this piece of plastic from digital excrement, it contains a (renamed) Phison controller which is probably actually some kind of USB3, and two must be 8GB flash chips, with no markings whatsoever other than a few meaningless numbers and letters on the bottom. . (It's possible to interpret the mark as a date code, except that any possible interpretation that way would anachronistically place the flash memory's manufacture date more than a year before the drive's manufacture date, according to its own insertion date code.) Anonymous flash, always correctly a sign of a quality product made to last. It started in the trash can and returns to the dumpster without having – like unfortunately many of us – achieved its main goal, its raison d'être. No, this was not my first purchase from Silicon Power but definitely the last due to the disparaging lack of quality control, ethics and care.
