Review on πŸ”₯ 64GB USB 2.0 Flash Drives 2 Pack, ALLBYT Thumb Drives U Disk Memory Sticks Jump Drive Photo Sticks with Led Indicator and Type-c Adapter - Pink by James Richardson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Unbearably slow on Computers and Accessories

Okay, I'm not sure how I came up with this. I only order USB 3 compatible flash drives and usually only with *minimum* write speeds of 20MB/s (40+ preferred). So I'm not sure if I made a mistake when ordering or if the description of this new product has recently changed - I would never order them at the slow speeds they (I confess?) show on their product listing. Using the Black Magic Disc Speed test on a Macbook Pro resulted in some of the most erratic results I've seen. There is no consistency. The absolute best test case was 10MB/s write speed and 20MB/s write speed, which would have been barely passable, but I never saw those numbers again. They hang like a dead fish between 0 and 10 with an average test speed of 5-6 MB/s in writing and 10-15 MB/s in reading. Those are TERRIBLE numbers. This is also the bottom bar for USB 2.0. It would take HOURS to copy files across all 64GB. The design is honest at best - thin, chunky and cheap. Personally for me this is a 0 star product that I would most likely throw in the bin. I don't want to entrust my data so slow and unstable. I'm giving them a B because in the current text they proudly acknowledge those terrible productivity times. This is a product that shouldn't be made anymore. That kind of speed might have been acceptable in the past with 1-4GB drives, but betting that kind of speed on 32+GB cards is a real crime against humanity. I hate leaving bad reviews. I'm really. But I can't find anything good except that at least you're not paying much for the disappointment it will bring. USB-C adapters seem to be pretty good.
