USB Flash Drive 32GB 5Pack, Exmapor USB Swivel Thumb Drives Bulk Storage Memory Stick LED Indicator (5PCS Mix Color, 32G)

If you want a set of backup drives, then these are fine, but not the first ones I would grab. They work, they load up quickly and all the files are working once you get the drive up. My main issue is that the product listing claims that these have writing speeds of AT LEAST 8mb/s per transfer, but while transferring files as low as 2gb across, it not only took at least 6 minutes to transfer over, but it never even reached 8mb/s! The attached screenshot is of a transfer that you can see never peaked higher than ~7.3mb/s. Not a total waste of time, but again, not something I would keep on hand for speedy transfers. These would be best for backing up files while you're not in immediate need of them or overnight or whatever.

Pros: The drives are super cheap and good enough for storage of small files like word documents. Build quality seems solid.Cons: The drives are possibly the slowest drives I've owned in the last 15 years. Speeds fluctuate wildly from 0.5MB/s to a brief 10MB/s . Every 5 seconds during a transfer speeds will drop to 0KB/s before ramping up transfer speed to 10MB/s and dropping to zero again The on board cache must be absolutely minuscule.Basically, these cheap drives will do, as long as you don't expect to frequently transfer stuff larger then a few hundred megabytes. If you want fast transfers, give these a wide berth.*Update*: The seller reached out to me to to try to solve my performance issues. I didn't have the drives anymore, so instead the seller offered to have me delete my review in exchange for $5.59. Haha.

These are compact, with a folding cover to protect the "business end" of the device in a drawer or pocket. They have functioned for me exactly as I'd want a USB stick to do. The color assortment makes it easy to find them on a messy desk and to differentiate them for their assigned duties.

So far I tested three USB drives and they all have multiple partitions. None of my other USB drives have this issue. I am using Parted to try to make the USB drive into one partition with no success. This shouldn't be an issue with new drives. I won't buy this brand again.EDIT:All drives have failed and are unusable after 6 months

Loaded them up with family pictures and gave them as Christmas gifts.

Order Exmapor USB Flash Drives 32GB Swivel 5 Mixed Colors three month ago, Arrived as described, Nice packaged.They all 10 USB Sticks are working well. I also like the different colors.The 32GB capacity can fully meet my various needs. I am very satisfied with the speed of reading and writing.The performance of thumb drives are very stable. Perfectly compatible with various computer equipment.

Classic case of getting what you paid for. I don't know who built the RAM inside these USB Drives, but having been personally involved in doing just that for years, these SRAM's or whatever they are are of poor quality. I imagine that they are B or C Grade from some manufacturer?? But you get what you pay for. If you just want to have a few laying around that are not important to you, these work fine. But that is about it.

I rarely leave reviews, but these were so bad I felt the need to warn anyone considering them to find something else. Of the 10 drives in the package, only 3 were ready to use and actually worked. 4 of them needed to be either formatted or repaired before I could use them. 3 had to go in the trash; computer could not even recognize them. I purchased 3 months ago so it's too late to return them. Please, save yourself a lot of time and aggravation by not buying these!

These work very well and storage is quite good, but it is easily damaged. The reason I call it flimsy is that plugged in it has too much wiggle room and will disconnect. If you've used usb's before you know when it transfering information getting disconnect is very bad and you end up with corrupted information. Also I had one in my laptop and my dog put his paw and it and it broke in half. So I'm skeptical about keeping important information on it like bank records, or maybe important photos so I would need to have 2 copies and then when full store them someplace safe where they can't be damaged.

10+ hours wasted testing these usb drives, 2 completely died, I am returning this cheap garbage, If you want to feel your data has been secured stick with name brand stuff, it costs a little more but its worth the extra money, I will never buy these usb drives again, too good to be true.. usually is :/

The maximum transfer speed I saw after testing all five 16GB sticks was between 7-8 MB/s whether transferring a large file or numerous small files. Small files I saw a drop to 3-5 MB/s when copying MP3s. This seemed really slow but apparently this is quite normal for USB 2.0 flash drives. I'm used to SD cards that are much faster than what I remember getting from a USB 2.0 flash drive. I guess that's why I always used Firewire for external storage before USB 3.0 came along.They have an embedded LED that flashes whenever reading or writing and I found this constant flickering to be quite distracting when using the stick to stream music in a bluetooth radio that also has USB drive capability. It's nice to know when its active so you don't yank it out before its done reading or writing but I would much prefer a solid on LED.

Each one has 16 Gigs. They work perfectly. The other 1 star review comment must have something wrong with their computer. Great price as well.

I needed these to transfer data to third parties. I don't know or care about performance, they got the information and I got these cheap... and they all worked, 5 stars!
