TEAMGROUP C175 128GB 2 Pack USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.1/3.0) Read 100MB/s Flash Thumb Drive, External Data Storage Memory Stick Compatible with Computer/Laptop Matte Black TC1753128GB22

Great Product. Exactly as expected. Great value.

Works much better, i.e. faster than most other flash drives.

I bought a 10 pack of the 32GB drives, and overall they are OK for general purpose drives. Just be aware that the USB 3.2 label is mostly for marketing! I noticed that one transfer was going really slow, so I pulled out another drive, did a fresh format with default sector size, and did a quick sequential benchmark. I was able to get 17MBps writes and 117MBps reads, random of each would be really poor. As long as you understand this, the drives are good (so far) and will certainly meet my needs for this low price point. Need faster with real USB 3.2 speeds, pay more money.Tested with Windows 11 and 10gbps ports (USB A and USB C).My use case is mostly "burning" an OS image to the drive, then booting a computer from it and installing the OS. Sometimes Ventoy just isn't the right tool (mentioned because someone will probably suggest it). HBCD will finally have a "permanent" home with plenty of room for different drivers for the hardware I might need to work on.

This is a perfect lightweight USB thumbdrive for 1TB of data. Loading it with roughly 475 GB was successful though it did pause several times during the load. (Formatted NTFS with BitLocker, so raw speed with exFAT may have been faster.) What's was less anticipated is that whenever it is sync'd with the source file system (using FreeFileSync), the transfer can really lag and hang for several minutes during the process. Still working well, definitely seeing USB 3.x throughput, but uncertain about consistent throughput speeds.

Very fast. Also, I like the fact that they have a distinctive look, which helps me keep track of my thumb drives.

This review is about the packaging. I ordered two items here: a lot of 10 32gb flash drives and a lot of 10 64gb flash drives, for a total of 20 flash drives. As background, I need to buy quantities of flash drives, hopefully at a reasonable price. The usb drives need to be individually and securely packaged. That's because when I provide a new usb drive to a government agency to get copies of their digital files, they always require a brand new flash drive in clamshell-like packaging. In other words, they will not accept loose flash drives. That's to make sure they’re not getting any malicious files. So buying them in bulk usually doesn't work for me. I could buy them individually to make sure they're packaged right, but then they cost twice as much. Teamgroup apparently understands this. For these purchases, I received two small boxes. Each box contained 10 individually-packaged flash drives. 5 stars for this alone.I also like these flash drives because there's no sliding mechanism to hide and unhide the part that goes into the port. Those sliding things are unnecessary and they can make it difficult to insert the flash drive. Also, these have a nice big flat surface for labeling.

They work very well.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AND ITS PRODUCTS. You get what you pay for could not be more accurate. I received the product with the drive already loose in the enclosure, and with much lower transfer speeds than advertised and expected. Two months later the drive is completely unreadable and cant be initialized, erased or repaired by 4 operating systems and so loose in the housing a slight pull removed the whole thing.I contacted the company with photos explaining the situation, thinking clearly the photos show one of the two chips either arrived damaged or overheated. How else could you possible explain the giant plastic bubble with the chip solder moving and coming off. There's no way I could have added plastic to the chip. right? But unfortunately not.Initially they told me to ship it in (at my own expense which would be about 1/2 the price of the product. But since I cant initialize the drive I can't wipe or encrypt it and was pretty sure there was personal data on it.They assured me they would shred it immediately..... implying I should trust the company who sent me this garbage and that I couldn't dispose of it myself. I responded saying I understand the policy but don't know why they would prefer I warn other customers on amazon instead of replacing it leaving a positive review, creating a customer who probably would have purchased many more drives from them.The issue was escalated and instead of replacing the drive or just repeating that they couldn't make an exception to the ship in policy which would have been bad but at least understandable, THEY DECIDED TO DOUBLE DOWN AND BLAME ME for their defective/overheating failed drive and said due to product damage they wouldn't even warranty it if I wanted to ship it to them.Pictures clearly show the damaged chip and solder with literally everything else undamaged, which I still cant't figure out how damage to specific parts and the solder under the chip could be caused by me.Don't waste your money on this. Either spend the extra $10 for a Samsung or sandisk drive, with incredible durability, read/write speeds, and probably customer service who doesn't lie or if you're a risk taker without an extra $10 ,purchase this knowing the terrible quality of the product and the complete lack of reasonable customer service or and terms of their "lifetime warranty".
