INLAND Micro Center Super Speed 2 Pack 32GB USB 3.0/USB3.1 Gen1 Flash Drive Gum Size Memory Stick Thumb Drive Data Storage Jump Drive (32G 2-Pack)

Bought these drives for general use. They are fast, at least for what I use them for, and seem to be reliable. One feature I REALLY like is that they have an activity LED. Many, at least low priced, memory sticks lack this feature. One thing I don't particularly like is that the removable cap doesn't snap securely onto the opposite end of the drive, meaning that it's subject to being lost. This is not a big problem for me (I'm retired and don't work so don't carry them around from home to office) , but I'm sure it would be a problem for some people. The capless/retractable drives are probably better if you carry the drives around with you a lot. Altogether, I think I'll order more, probably the 64gb version next. I like the color coded, transparent housing. Lets you choose a size without having to squint to read the fine print on the back. Nice feature.

How can I not love this? (Well, them, as it's a twofer in one plastic wrap.) I've been remiss, as I'd not reviewed this (well, these, as I ordered a handful) when it first arrived, for a variety of excuses, none of which had much to do with anything other than sloth. Instead, I merely dropped them in my drawer with all the other memory sticks of much lesser capacity. Those, typically in the 2GB range, were mostly for me to pass various small (well, relatively speaking; if it were text, they could consume days' worth of reading) bundles of data to friends and colleagues in the cruising community (I lived and cruised on a sailboat for 15 years). However, recently, I got involved in a technical discussion of how to make sure the fuel being used was free of anything which might deter transfer from tank to engine (diesel fuel is prone to succumbing to lots of ways to impede flow, particularly on sailboats where it may not get a lot of turnover). My solution was to have made a fuel polisher. I'll save you the technical discussion regarding those and the process, as it would bore you to tears. What likely is of direct interest, however, is what happened next... I'm a bit anal about recording stuff which is complicated, and which I might have to do again, as I'm doing it the first time. Accordingly, there were double-digit gigabytes of photos of my solution to engine-mounted filter changes (to construct and install a fuel polishing system) resting comfortably in my computer, in their own file, awaiting just such a moment: "AHA," sez I, "I have just the thing!" and proceeded to tell them about my method to insure pristine fuel delivery regardless of whatever calumny might have occurred in their tank. In my case, my polishing system meant that in 15 years of cruising, I never had to change an engine fuel filter - while my polishing filters got changed 4 times (they're enormous by comparison), pulling out the gunge and critters which had been removed before the tank delivered the junk to the engine. But I digress. I ordered these more than two years ago. Most of the other sticks in my drawer, in the marine (salt water) environment, had accumulated a variety of rust on the part which goes into the computer. As the electrical contacts are gold, it's of little electronic issue, but they can also accumulate other grunge, which IS of issue. However, they weren't nearly sufficient to carry all the data in my photo gallery (you knew I'd get here, right?), so I reached for one of these. Off pops the cover. BRILLIANT!! (Yes, that's a Britishism, an approximation of which is "Bravo!!" - which also applies here...) The business end of the memory stick looked like it was just out of the factory, instead of having sat in a salt-water-infused atmosphere for two years. My computer has a solid state drive, and the usual USB 3.x ports. These sticks, despite being a couple of years old, are also USB 3.x enabled... So, to the title of my review: I inserted the stick. "Bing! New device recognized." I highlighted the file with all the pictures of my construction and installation of my computer, right-clicked 'copy,' and moved my cursor over to the "F:\" 32GB flash drive, right clicked 'paste' and before I'd lifted my finger, "BING! Transfer complete..." My inexpensive flash drive had sucked up 15 GB of photos before I had time to watch the process. A pair - depending on your color preference - at under or just barely over ten bux. What's not to like? Better yet, if you're a high-transfer kinda user: Do as I did, and order a 10-pack, for under $4 each (33.99 as I write this review), with no difference in cost for your favorite color...

I bought there here for $8 for the 2-pack where I could've paid $12-14 in other websites for the same amount of USBs. I've used these a lot before and buy them to load them w movies and sell the stick on its own. They are the best quality USBs for this price. They are 3.0 which already puts them on top of other USB's (3.0 or 3.1 USB's have a blue chip on them indicating they have much higher read/write speeds and are thus less prone to crashing and lagging when loading files) Plus they have a little red light that flashes when you're copying data to let you know it's working. They are quite fast even when loading big files and they haven't steered me wrong yet. Specially for this price

have had to upgrade most of my previous 16GB flash drives to 32GB or more. loved that this was a bundle of 2 at $10 which was same price for 2 of the 16GB versions. As I routinely buy these when I am at the MicroCenter in Madison Heights, MI, i would buy 1 or 2 on occasion at the store. Here on Amazon they are a bit lower cost. I plan to buy the 5 pack next time around. they come ready to use in Fat32 format for most windows PC's and work properly on my older Mac as well. Only wish there was a version that had the USB-A & USB-C. I normally use these to either use as a Windows Boot USB, or a Linux Boot USB, or as a Music MP3 drive for use in my car.

You get exactly what you pay for with this product, reliable and useable with good transfer speeds, small form factor, and the cap style is underrated, well made product.

Perfect

Great quality and work very quickly. Have not had any issues with these. Pleased with the look as well. Since they have a cap and don’t slide out like some styles they fit in any USB inserts necessary.

Three star explanation. These copy slower than my other brand USB 3.0 drives. I'd say about three times slower. These are still perfect for the purpose I bought them for which doesn't include frequent large data transfers. Not a bad product, but just a little slower. Appearance, capacity, and price were ideal for me. Packaging and shipping were first rate as usual.
