Worst flash drive I've ever had

I hate this thing. I've never had a problem with a flash drive in my life, but this little guy caused problems at every turn. I originally used it to play music in a Ford Sync equipped car, but after a week of use the music started skipping like I was listening to a CD. Two more weeks and the hard drive won't be recognized at all. I threw it in a drawer and bought a Samsung flash drive that hasn't missed a beat since. Fast forward a year and I decide to once again use this little guy as photo storage in a digital picture frame. After about a month of use, my photos started to appear distorted - the colors didn't match. I added all our wedding photos to the drive last night - and twice during the download (about 10GB total - which should be good considering it's a 64GB drive) it crashed and had to Rescan drive for errors. Finally I loaded all the pictures, started the drive and now the picture frame doesn't recognize the drive. GREAT. This will be sent to the trash. Obviously it's not reliable enough to store files of any value to me. Don't waste your time with this flash drive.
