Review on AUV128-16G-RBY ADATA UV128 16GB USB ๐Ÿ“€ 3.0 Flash Drive, Yellow - Retractable & Capless by Juan Mcallen

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Ugly and not as compact as the competition, but reliable.

--- Good --- I use this drive on a USB 3.0 port to back up files from time to time. For this purpose it worked perfectly. --- Bad --- However, as you can see from the photos, this thing is freaking ugly. Besides, it's not so little; There are many other compact offerings on the market right now. --- Ugliness (which ironically doesn't mean this thing is ugly) --- When I bought it - back in 2014 - truly compact USB 3.0 drives were twice as expensive as ADATA DataDash 3.0 drives, but it's not more so. NOW, in mid-2015, you can get a REALLY compact USB 3.0 drive with the same capacity for pennies less than this ADATA device. Here's an example: This SanDisk Ultra Fit is only $14.50 for a 32GB capacity: Bottom line: Get this thing if you want a reliable, large (easy to see) drive. However, if you want something more modern, especially if you leave the thing plugged in, you might want to look at alternatives like the SanDisk linked above.
