Compact and Economical Drive
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very compact and economical drive. Excellent read/write speeds. Small size makes it easy to pack for trips away from home but also makes it easy to lose.
I would recommend this to a friendThe slowest USB drive I own
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Write speeds no greater than 20 MB/s and it's driving me nuts. It's easily the slowest USB drive I own and was a waste of money. Might have something to do with how incredibly hot it gets.

Useful for additional storage space.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Using on an Xbox series S for older Xbox games. Storage is severely limited and this is helping out. Only works for old games. No series games.
I would recommend this to a friendJunk
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cheap plastic housing broke inside of usb port. Lost a few days of important project files. Its my fault. I knew how poorly made the product was when i first opened the package. My surface computer was over heating and i needed to backup some files temporarily. I took the chance and lost that bet. What’s worse than buying a defective product? Best buy’s service. It failed in 4 days. I went ti the geek squad counter and was told it would cost over $500 to attempt fike recovery. I checked around for othet options for recovery. After 15 days Best Buy would not provide a refund.

May not be 256GB
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The item is faulty. The flash drive states 256GB but what you might get is 8GB. I tried copying 19GB of a movie to this flash drive and the operation always failed. Please verify the drive actually has 256GB capacity after you purchase it.

Highly recommend it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been copying files to and from this drive without experiencing any problems.
I would recommend this to a friendVery small and out of the way
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Get for laptops and smaller PCs. Would definitely get this product again.
I would recommend this to a friendBroke after one month of use
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This worked great at first and then one day it just stopped. It's not showing up on my Mac or my PC. I've tried multiple recovery programs and it's no longer detectable. I would expect something like this to happen with a much smaller USB but with a 256 GB 3.1 that cost $$$ this shouldn't happen. According to Best Buy it's no longer returnable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendUnauthorized Bitlocker lockup.
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Windows 11 locked up this drive with Bitlocker without asking me. I can't get my files out of it now. I attempted to use the drive during an SSD upgrade. Microsoft's recommended fixes did not work either.
