Review on πŸ’Ύ Netac 64GB USB Flash Drive 3.0 | High-Speed Memory Stick Thumb Drive 64GB - U335S by Elder Unogu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The write protect switch works but the file system on the flash drive is exFAT (not VFAT)

Worked fine. I bought 4 of these because of the physical write protect switch. Note that since the file system on flash drives is exFAT, some versions of Linux do not handle them correctly. But suitable for use with Windows computers. (To use these drives on Linux, I replace the existing filesystem with ext2). exFAT has some advantages over VFAT in terms of maximum file size etc. However, there is usually no support for exFAT on Linux. I even tried installing certain Linux software to use exFAT, but the test results I got weren't to my liking. So I switched them to ext2.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Packaging is ugly
