The boot process aborts and has to be pulled out and reinserted to run the test. I didn't have this problem with another USB stick. However, they seem to work fine as the default storage device in Windows. This happened on two different computer systems, both AMD and Intel based. Update: The seller contacted me to do more Linux boot tests. Unfortunately, I couldn't test both USB sticks because the other one was loaded with Linux and given away to a partner who wasn't at the test site yet. The seller really tried to make it right so I am rating this 5 stars for their customer support.
