WD - Easystore 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive - Blue

WD (Western Digital) has always made good products, and now they are moving in on Samsungs & Sandisks territory of USB Memory Cards and you can't blame them, they are cheaper and easier to make then Hard Drives or Solid State Drives and the profit margin is significantly higher, thus the recommendation to wait for "SALES" and even then as you go up in size, the value becomes something to consider. For example a 256GB SSD can be had for around $25-$30, where as the same size flash drive is currently ON SALE for $32.99, and then when you step up into the 512GB Flash Drives you are going to exceed $84.99 to $149.99, where on the opposite side of the fence you can get a 1TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD for $99 to $109 and lets not even get into comparing 1TB USB Flash Drives as they can go as high as $499.99, were as you can get a high quality brand like Samsung or SanDisk for $179.99 to $259.99 for a 2TB, and so there are still some pricing issues to be aware of but basically the bottom like is this, do you want to purchase a smaller, easy to carry or transport USB Flash drive, BUT PAY A HIGHER PRICE, OR do you want to buy a External SSD that will typically give you 2 to 8 times the storage capacity for the price and allow slightly more flexibility. For example, i have noticed that many Blu Ray Players, even ones made in 2019-2020 dont support more then a 32GB or 64GB USB Flash Drive BUT they for some reason DO recognize and support a 1TB, 2TB, and even one of my 3 year old Sony $99 Blu Ray Players will recognize a 4TB external SSD or HDD but that same $99 Sony Blu Ray Player will only recognize a 64GB USB Flash Drive, hence my next order of a Sony 1000Xe Blu Ray Player, which according to the specifications is still maxed out at 128GB USB, but will accept much larger USB SDD's and USB HDD's and with that said, it is up to you to decide in paying more for less but getting it in a slightly smaller package is worth the money to you. It should also be noted that many newer External SSD's and even external HDD's have shrunk to a smaller size due to advances in memory chip and controller technology as well as on HDD's higher capacity spindles allowing for smaller drives, and with that i leave you to make up your mind as to which is best, as for warranty, the cell type memory that both USB Flash, and NVMe or SSD drives are based on DOES degrade, so check the amount of read/write times or manufactures suggested hours of operation on the drives you are looking at but as far as this WD 128GB for the $15.99 plus tax Black Friday Sale price, it was pretty much a no brainer, after all, these days what tech can you get for under $20 that you can actually use everyday? And that's the VipersHardware tip and take on this drive, Enjoy and Happy Tech Hunting

I got this at a very great price at my local store very good quality and very fast too. Recommend to anybody

Fast, easy, and convenient. The plastic casing is sturdy and has not broken while being toted around in my pocket. It has the quality I expect from a WD product.

This was a great flash drive to use. The space is 126GB is a good amount of space. I had no issue using this drive to transfer data from one device to another.

Navy blue is my absolute favorite color. Just like the flash drive in the picture. The one I received was sky blue.

I bought this 128gb flash drive to save my videos on and upload it to YouTube

Yes, you get a lot of space for a flash drive, but nothing is a free ride. It may be classified as USB 3.0, but it preforms on par with a USB 2.0 on every computer I have tried. I found it only gets between 2-7MB/s transfer speed in write. Read speeds go from 10MBs to 100MB/s but often average around 20MB/s.

Used this for my PC, it worked perfectly and carried out the exact use it should’ve. It did however mess up and corrupt my storage. So maybe PC use isn’t good.
