INLAND Micro Center Super Speed 5 Pack 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Gum Size Memory Stick Thumb Drive Data Storage Jump Drive

Great flash drives! Transfer speed was very fast, and storage was perfect for what I needed.

These work as described. Their speed is good. I like that they have a little LED in there to flash, letting me know something is happening. It's kind of frustrating if you're waiting and find out nothing was going on. With the light, you at least know it's doing something.Their capacity is as advertised. They're just right for relatively small amounts of data you need to keep somewhere. Would recommend, would buy again.

Very quick performance with large capacity.Quick delivery. Great for graduation pictures.

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.

I bought these to FLASH BIOS on new mainboard before new computer build. When you do the FLASH it's super handy to see the flashing LED to know when it's active (be patient) and you know it's done when the activity stops (be patient). Without the LED's you FLASH and then walk away for 30+ minutes to make sure; you never really know if it did anything. So I used these to FLASH BIOS and then install Windows 11. These are fast and work great. I'd recommend these. I also read online that the pastel versions are not the same so... buyer beware. These were great. LOVE the LED's.

I've bought microcenter's store brand usb drives since the days when 16 GB was bleeding edge, and with a few exceptions, I've found them cost effective, reliable (any flash stick can fail, but I've had only a couple of failed drives of several dozen over the years) and decent speed. This current generation I find writes at about 4 megaBYTES per second and read at around 30.I offer one warning about the microcenter brand: From time to time they seem to switch manufacturers; whoever they've used for years makes drives with transparent, tinted shells and activity LEDs. This is the kind we're discussing here, and I recommend them without reservation. On occasion they offer a batch from someone else, detectable by opaque, pastel colored shells and no activity light. I've found the 256 pastel versions work with some PCs, but are not detected by others. Recently, they've offered pastel 512's, also without activity light: the 512's I won't even buy, so I can't comment on whether they're imperfectly compatible like the 256's I have tried. I do not recommend the pastel style drives.These are the tinted/LED style I do recommend. Just be careful you're getting the tinted style; they sometimes don't make the difference clear on their own web site (show photos of the tinted style but actually sell the pastel style.)To summarize, these are the tinted/LED style, and I recommend them without reservation.

Used these as boot USB's for Windows OS, MacOS, ShredOS, and others. Worked great.

I do some light file transfers from time to time. I need USB drives for copying some documents or making bootable USB sticks for reinstalling stuff. I like to use these USB drives for lighter file transfers stuff 1GB and under.Overall the sticks are pretty slow with regards to their speed of writing data they write at about 4-15 megabytes per second. It's not amazingly fast, but it gets the job done. Getting for USB sticks for $20 or so was a steal.If you're doing heavy file transfers of 10-20gb this will be pretty slow at writing that amount of data, but if you're doing light file transfers these will do the job just fine. For bigger files I'd recommend getting a faster USB stick or getting an external SSD to speed things up, but I use these sparingly, so I don't mind they take a bit longer than premium thumbdrives or SSDs.I used to be in IT and we had faster thumbdrives for copying data because we were copying data all the time and we needed faster performance. I use these cheap ones for just stuff for family, friends, or personal use. If you don't mind the slower transfer speeds these drives will do just fine for 90% of home users. For a person heavy into IT or big on High-Performance Tech probably look elsewhere for faster drives.
