Review on AUV128-16G-RBY ADATA UV128 16GB USB πŸ“€ 3.0 Flash Drive, Yellow - Retractable & Capless by Curtis Sherman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

3 years or more, color matters

For the past 3 years I've been using Blue 32GB, Blue 64GB and Yellow 32GB to record TV (typically at 1.4GB/hr or around 0.5 GB / h). watch later and then delete. A total of over a thousand hours. I prefer drives with a status light, but bought an additional blue 64 GB for this purpose. I want to rate them separately: the blue 64GB drives seem to work better than the 64GB SanDisk drives, but I prefer the SanDisk 32GB drives over the ADATA 32GB drives. The yellow one seems to be having interface issues with my tuner and often records hours of empty silence. , instead of TV when I'm not around to start it manually. I haven't had this problem with any other drive and the speed is slow. Appears to be inferior engineering, not just a different color.
