EASTFUN 5Pcs 8GB USB Flash Drive USB 2.0 Flash Memory Stick Thumb Stick Pen(Five Mixed Colors: Blue Purple Rose Green Gold)

they are usb sticks

I tend to keep a handful of flash drives around for use in a pinch, so when I needed more, I found these. I was looking for something cheap, relatively small sized with decent storage capacity and these fit my requirements. I do like the metal housing and that the caps fit snugly without feeling brittle or breakable. I highly doubt a cap could slip off unintentionally which is good. All 5 drives work well and are fast enough for my needs without getting overly warm during use. I will probably purchase more of these when needed.

It is a good product, I recommend it

8 gigs is not a lot by todays standards. Normally wouldnt even think about buying an 8. However I keep losing my thumb drives. Every time I need one I can never find one. So I decided to buy a bunch for emergency purposes. Its been great. I keep one in my pocket at all times. I loaded one up with MP3s for my car. The difference colors are cool, because I match the interior trim with the one I used in my car. Lol. I keep one at my computer desk so I can transfer files if need be. I have multiple computers. And of course I keep the original packaging with whats left over in a safe place. This has worked out well for me. Now I always have a thumb drive when I need one.

Just the right amount of storage for embroidery designs. Love the colors.

These little flash drives are great for our clients. We will definitely buy more.

I like them because they work.

Its great for small file transfer.

Works great

I was looking for cheap usb drives that I wouldnt use more than 4GB each on for various boot utilities, installations, and flashing of firmware. Of course theres always the problem of fake usb drives where the actual space is smaller than indicated and you simply start overwriting data if you exceed the real space. These use Chipsbanks CBM2199a which is a pretty new flash controller and the memory reported as ECD7947E64C4 - Samsung K9HDGY8U5B - 4CE/Single Channel [MLC-8K] I ran them through a 3 pass low level factory format using UMPtool and they are all really 16GB (ish). Benchmark show they are below but close enough to the performance of a Sandisk Cruzer Glide (16GB usb 2.0). However the random write performance is pretty bad. You can compensate for this with disk caching in Windows. Below are the benchmark results. Overall they are 5 stars because the price is great , they arent fake, and the performance is mostly ok.
