16GB Key Shape USB Flash Drive 5 Pack, K&ZZ Metal Thumb Drive USB2.0 Flash Disk Memory USB Stick Expansion Disk- 16G Black/Gold/Pink/Silver/Blue

For this amount of money it's very nice product and I like looks, it makes him

I like these USB drives because they are flat and key-shaped, so they fit on my key organizer. They let me have a USB drive with me at all times, which is helpful for work. The value is unbeatable - 5 for about $20. They are 64 GB each. They are USB 2.0, rather than 3.0, so they aren't the fastest, but I was looking for drives that I would have when I unexpectedly needed one, rather than the latest and fastest. As for durability, they are aluminum, but I haven't had them long enough to know how well they will wear. But, with a 5 pack, I have extras, and at this price, it is cheap enough to buy replacements if needed. I won't be using these for critical documents. Great value.

This device is thin enough to mail at normal postal rates in a normal envelope, with some holder which was what I was looking for. I don't know about durability using it this way, yet. It will have to go through USPS high speed sorting equipment. However, it is slower than some other Flash Drives because it has fewer connection points (4) than newer devices (9). It is high speed USB 2, as stated, but not USB 3, SuperSpeed, the newer faster standards.

As a nurse I know the importance of having your medical info available in times of emergency. I use these to place all my basic health info on it, excluding any personal identifiers. A separate file for meds, surgeries, family history, ongoing issues. I also keep a copy of my power of attorney for healthcare (as well as many of my friends as I am theirs!) and an emergency contact list. I mark it ICE and place it behind my drivers license as that’s where we look first for info! It takes up almost no room at all.I’m sure there are many other uses, but this is how I use mine. I also have made one for each of my family members and my friends for whom I hold theirs. Periodically review and update!

Got these to play around with because they where inexpensive. I didn't see the USB 2.0 until after I bought it. I did test 3 of the 5 for read/write speed since they're not mention anywhere on here. They are all pretty much the same. Very slow by todays standards. Would not recommend for large files. I also would not recommend it for things you need to keep safe due to quality of the USB. The body of it made from very soft metal and can easily be bent. Because of this I cannot see it being very durable. The quality of the drive is questionable at best. It would be good for school and miscellanious files that are not super important. For that you need USB 3.0 and up. For everything else this is great. I can confirm it runs TAILS with little to no problem just a little slow. Other distros will not boot it is to slow.

Copy speeds are good. Haven’t had one needing to be “repaired” yet.

Anyone reading this, don't buy a cheap USB drive like this. Everything about this looked pretty great at face value but after two uses it stopped working. It goes back and forth with being recognized by my computer. Unfortunately I already put personal documents with all my personal data on it so it doesn't feel safe doing a return now because I'm worried about if it gets repaired and re-sold then someone else will have all my personal documents. Potential buyers beware. Sure a cheap drive seems like a good deal, but what's the point if it breaks after two uses.

Work well and easy to bring along.
