Review on ZEPLIN ELECTRONICS Drives External Storage by Micheal Wolf

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Inexpensive universal set of flash drives. Reliability is a potential issue

It's amazing how much USB sticks have fallen in price. 64GB of USB 3.0 for just a dozen dollars? Well! This one with 32GB for two is about $4.50 each. Like many USB 3.0 drives, it performs well, although not as fast as my Patriot Supersonic Rage or any branded drive. The slowdown is noticeable, especially when transferring a large number of files (not a large file size, but a lot). In other words, it works as expected from a generic drive. With that comes the BIG question: How reliable will the drive be in the long run? The time will show. Personally, I'll stick with brands like SanDisk and Kingston, but for one-off files where reliability isn't a big concern, this drive works great at a very affordable price. I use them to save movies to watch on the projector when traveling with my family.

Pros
  • USB sticks
Cons
