Great for storing photos, normal speed for 2.0, comes with wristbands

I usually have tons of images that I need to back up or store and they work great . I would like to point out that this will not be a quick transfer. The only downside to this is that it runs on USB 2.0, which is a pretty slow transfer. It's not too slow compared to many other 2.0 drives I have. I can transfer and read at 8-11MB/s, which isn't too bad, but if you want something faster you'll need to upgrade to 3.0. Most 2.0 flash drives I've used have typically been around 4-5MB/s. These flash drives are pretty well made. You can easily rotate USB and vice versa. UPDATE: After only a month, the swivel joint became very loose and actually no longer holds the USB stick. It still works and I would just take the flash drive off the metal but I want the strap to stay in place. In fact, when turning, you can lose friction and it will just tip over. The great thing about them is that they are color coded which makes them much easier to identify. The price is also pretty reasonable for two 32GB sticks. I have checked and verified all the flash drives and they are 32GB. Transferring a ton of files, they heat up, but not too much, especially since they have metal layers. It's pretty much a plug and play USB device. It works on Windows 7 and above and Mac OS. The packaging is very simple, just a plastic bag. There's also a built-in loop so you can attach it to a key chain or strap, which is nice. It also comes with wrist straps so you can easily attach your flash drive to your wrist. I really like having these straps so I can hang my flash drives for easier finding and storage. All flash drives have a capacity of 32GB, so they are ideal for storing images or videos. Note, however, that transferring all this information may take some time if necessary. The flash drives themselves are fairly well built and have indicator lights to indicate transfer and connection. The light is very dim, you may not even see it. All in all, this is a good, bulky set of flash drives. They have a decent amount of storage space, have normal transfer speeds for 2.0, and are great for when you need spare flash drives. The only problem I have is that the rotating mechanism wears out VERY quickly.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
