It was discovered that these flash drives have unreliable connectors. Often I plug them in and the computer doesn't recognize them. If I shake them in the connection, the device recognizes them, although afterwards I worry about the integrity of the connection. I don't have this problem with drives from other manufacturers on the same USB ports (so don't blame the USB port). Since storage is a matter of reliability, I would not recommend these USB sticks. Update: 2018-11 - The seller refunded me the purchase price.
