Centon USB 2.0 Pro (Grey), 4GB

Outstanding. I work with several brands of laptops at work and this one works great with all brands.

Encryptable, too, and maxes out at four just as advertised. Fast retrieval of data...js

Purchased this flash drive at a military PX overseas since options are limited. I utilized this drive three times before it stopped working and my computer could not recognize it. What a waste of money. Avoid at all costs.

More than I expected from the price. I prefer the cap to the pivot kind, keeps out the dust better. Completely satisfied.

Needed a few small capacity USB drives for use with Subaru firmware updates. Centon was listed as a recommended brand in the Subaru TSB and had outstanding reviews. Drives received very quickly, however half of them were not recognized as storage by anything in the shop. Had coworkers try on personal laptops and same deal. Emailed Centon support (csupport@cxxxx) for help, but have not heard back from them and its been over a week since initial contact. I gave up working with Centon and started a return with Amazon. I realize product defects can and do happen, but Centons customer support seems MIA. I cannot recommend these drives or Centon as a company. If you are storing critical or important data on these, please make backups.

I have been buying flash drives since they first came out and as their capacity gets larger and larger, I keep buying the next larger capacity ones. So far, the only one that has failed is the Centon DataStick Pro (4 GB). I filled it up with data as a back-up for my hard drive and just went to get some of that data and it can not be read. I took it to a friend and his newer computer can not read it either. I tried on a brand new Windows 7 machine and it can not read it. It is the first drive of this type that I have seen fail and I have quite a few different sizes and brands.

I have one of these. I used it once and it worked. Id only use it to transfer pics or docs that were already backed up on something else. Look if you cant get this in 2014 for under $5.00 dont get it!

This was a great affordable item. I am using this for a digital picture frame. It really works great. Thank you!

I am a computer pro, I own maybe a dozen USB flash drives. I have had occasional problems with drives, but never had a piece of junk like the Centon. It accepted a large file, but I was unable to read it. I tried to format the thing - no luck. I contacted what Centon laughingly calls their support service and just ran into road blocks. I know how to care for USB flash memory, so I know it was not my fault. This company makes cheap junk, avoid them at all costs!

I have been using this flash drive for about a year now, and I use it A LOT to transfer and backup files, on a daily basis. Yes, I have lost all files a couple of times and had to reformat the drive. But that happens so rarely compared to how often it does work that I think its almost insignificant. However, after a year of extensive use the USB connectors have worn out (I guess), and it takes some wiggling around for it to be recognized by the computer. Another note: I really like the small size of it, and its pretty sturdy. I also have a TwinMOS Mobile Disk III (the cap and the lock switch broke in no time) and one from ScanDisc (the cracking sound it makes when you push out the USB connector is annoying), but the Centon is simply much sleeker and less annyoing.
