I bought these flash drives for my students to save their projects and files, but I found that in some cases the projects took 15 minutes to load! I ended up running tests on each of the flash drives to see if they had any problems or errors. No, each of them works correctly, but the problem is their speed. Each flash drive has been extensively tested and I have found that the average read speed of all 5 flash drives is less than 12MB/s with an average write speed of 2.7MB/s. While this might be great for some, class time is precious and spending all your time waiting for things to load isn't ideal.
