TEAMGROUP C175 16GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.1/3.0) Read 75MB/s Flash Thumb Drive, External Data Storage Memory Stick Compatible with Computer/Laptop Matte Black TC175316GB01

Good and quick, I love the price for the amount of storage you are getting here!

These come formatted exFAT which is like FAT32 but has no file size restriction and is compatible with PC and Mac. For my purposes I reformatted to NTFS which took about 10 seconds. The copy transfer speed was disappointing at first but then I figured out I needed to plug in to the newer version of USB port in the back of my computer, not in the front. Then it worked as advertised, 100 mbps. So all good.

In the process of building a PC and needed additional flash drives for Windows Install and Driver Updates so finally broke down and bought these USB 3 flash drives. Read/Write speed is very fast compared to the Sandisk USB 3 stick I use for music in my truck. Price was competitive and all of these are great purchases. Just wish they came with a lanyard.

I bought both the 32GB and 256GB models. I toyed with them for a few hours right after getting them today. This review is from someone who knows how to test storage devices for faults. There were no device errors.32GB modal is pre-formatted to 28GB.256GB model is pre-formatted to 232GB.Formating the drives can sometimes get you a bit of extra space, but in the case of these drives, that's not how things went. In fact, the 32GB model I formatted lost 0.1GB on formatting it.This is common practice in the industry, mind you, but it's something to point out to anyone who isn't aware. You almost never get the capacity you paid for. I'm taking off a star for this in hopes that it helps sway the industry over time to actually be honest with consumers... or at least try to be honest.That said, the drive's build quality is pretty good. The shape is easy to grab and pull out of a port. I also found the cap to be easy to take off and put back on. The cap does not fall off or feel loose. I think this drive is damn near close to waterproof IP64 with the cap on, but they didn't advertise this as a feature, so I'm not testing my luck.Overall, for the price, these are great drives. I would recommend the brand, too, as I've had previous Teamgroup products and they never failed me. These drives work with all my devices, even my old office PCs which only have USB 2.0. They had their best transfer speed on my modern gaming rig, of course.

Very good quality, never fails, a lot storage and good price!

Great item

This review is about the packaging. I ordered two items here: a lot of 10 32gb flash drives and a lot of 10 64gb flash drives, for a total of 20 flash drives. As background, I need to buy quantities of flash drives, hopefully at a reasonable price. The usb drives need to be individually and securely packaged. That's because when I provide a new usb drive to a government agency to get copies of their digital files, they always require a brand new flash drive in clamshell-like packaging. In other words, they will not accept loose flash drives. That's to make sure they’re not getting any malicious files. So buying them in bulk usually doesn't work for me. I could buy them individually to make sure they're packaged right, but then they cost twice as much. Teamgroup apparently understands this. For these purchases, I received two small boxes. Each box contained 10 individually-packaged flash drives. 5 stars for this alone.I also like these flash drives because there's no sliding mechanism to hide and unhide the part that goes into the port. Those sliding things are unnecessary and they can make it difficult to insert the flash drive. Also, these have a nice big flat surface for labeling.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AND ITS PRODUCTS. You get what you pay for could not be more accurate. I received the product with the drive already loose in the enclosure, and with much lower transfer speeds than advertised and expected. Two months later the drive is completely unreadable and cant be initialized, erased or repaired by 4 operating systems and so loose in the housing a slight pull removed the whole thing.I contacted the company with photos explaining the situation, thinking clearly the photos show one of the two chips either arrived damaged or overheated. How else could you possible explain the giant plastic bubble with the chip solder moving and coming off. There's no way I could have added plastic to the chip. right? But unfortunately not.Initially they told me to ship it in (at my own expense which would be about 1/2 the price of the product. But since I cant initialize the drive I can't wipe or encrypt it and was pretty sure there was personal data on it.They assured me they would shred it immediately..... implying I should trust the company who sent me this garbage and that I couldn't dispose of it myself. I responded saying I understand the policy but don't know why they would prefer I warn other customers on amazon instead of replacing it leaving a positive review, creating a customer who probably would have purchased many more drives from them.The issue was escalated and instead of replacing the drive or just repeating that they couldn't make an exception to the ship in policy which would have been bad but at least understandable, THEY DECIDED TO DOUBLE DOWN AND BLAME ME for their defective/overheating failed drive and said due to product damage they wouldn't even warranty it if I wanted to ship it to them.Pictures clearly show the damaged chip and solder with literally everything else undamaged, which I still cant't figure out how damage to specific parts and the solder under the chip could be caused by me.Don't waste your money on this. Either spend the extra $10 for a Samsung or sandisk drive, with incredible durability, read/write speeds, and probably customer service who doesn't lie or if you're a risk taker without an extra $10 ,purchase this knowing the terrible quality of the product and the complete lack of reasonable customer service or and terms of their "lifetime warranty".
