💾 Netac 8GB USB Flash Drives 5 Pack - Reliable 8GB USB Memory Sticks with Red Light Indicator Review

Warning - You are not getting the capacity you expect. These 16GB drives have 30,433,280 sectors. With 512 bytes per sector, that's 15,581,839,360 bytes. Even using the memory manufacturer's definition of a GB as 1 billion bytes (as opposed to the definition used by computers and the rest of the computing world, which is 2^30 or 1,073,741,824 bytes), this falls far short of that stated capacity back. Actual capacity is 15.58GB or 14.51GB depending on how you define GB. These are raw sizes and…

2 out of 3 drives have had errors so far. I'm a photographer and I bought it to transfer image files to clients and when the photos are transferred to the hard drive, I get errors such as: B. The file is not downloaded completely. Of course, unless you personally inspect each disc upon arrival, the return guarantee is void before you know it. I did not do it. Very disappointed with the product. I have 2 that I haven't used yet but I assume they will be the same. I do not recommend this.

I have used them in "non-critical" situations where I wanted to email someone pictures or other files, or when I wanted to quickly copy/transfer something from one computer to another. To be honest, while sending or transferring files from one computer to another using physical media can be "old school", in some cases it's much easier if you don't want to create a virtual drive or an online file sharing service . Sometimes you just want to send a bunch of JPG image files to someone, and it's…

Must have been a bad batch. 4 out of 5 corrupted my data. Small files seemed normal. Large files are copied to them, seemingly fine, but corrupted when read. Did the same thing while testing on different PCs. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out it was the flash drives and not my PC/server hardware, especially after 3 of them failed. At first I figured it couldn't be flash drives and went down the rabbit hole to eliminate everything else. Then I tried another brand and everything worked…

These drives are terrible. I am a photographer and have used multiple brands. All of this resulted in errors and the ones I sent home with people were unreadable and when I tried to upload files to them from my computer (MacBook Pro) they were discarded during the file transfer and kept giving errors. Terrible quality. I would have returned them if I hadn't thrown away the first two thinking it was just an accident. Very disappointed.

If copy speed is important to you, you can try a different brand of flash drive. I made copies of 972 files contained in 50 folders that take up about 7.5GB of space. Copying to these Netac flash drives takes 57 minutes. To make the exact same copies, it takes 99 minutes on XinwaY, 25 minutes on SanDisk, 18 minutes on Juanwe, and just 15 minutes on Imphomius.
