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

I picked up this 5 pack of TEAMGROUP C175 drives thinking I’d use maybe one or two, but they’ve quickly become the “grab one for everything” solution. For the size, they’re impressively compact without feeling cheap or easy to lose. The retractability is non-existent. It uses a cap but not a big deal. That ties right into the overall ease of use, which is exactly what you want from a thumb drive. Plug it in, it works, no nonsense. I’ve used these for everything from basic storage to setting up a portable Ubuntu OS and even making a Windows bootable disk. The connectivity has been reliable across different machines, and file transfer speeds are solid for everyday use. They’re also easy to carry around. The portability is great since you can toss one in a bag, pocket, or leave a few in different places without thinking twice. Overall, these are just good, dependable drives that quietly do their job without any fuss. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

High speed downloading, 256gb, good price, very dependable. I’ve purchased these before, (4) times now.

Very nice. They work extremely well and are fast vompared to my other drives

This is one of the first affordable 512GB USB flash drives I've seen, so I purchased 2 of them. Unfortunately, they are just as slow as the other USB flash drives I've bought from PNY, Sandisk, and Micro Center. Write speeds began when writing 168GB of data at about 100 megabytes per second, but quickly dropped to 5 megabytes per second which is what I've come to expect from basically every brand except for Samsung. The reason the write speed appears high at the start is due to it writing to a local cache on the drive (usually comprised of RAM or an SLC cache) and it drops to the true write speed once that cache is exhausted. The other thing to keep in mind is that you cannot disconnect the drive till this write cache is written to the storage otherwise you will lose all of that data as the write cache is volatile. So users that may not want to write as much will be stuck waiting for it to write at the abysmally low 5MBps write speed if they want to keep their files they just tried to write to the disk. It's truly a shame Teamgroup can't produce a drive with a better sustained write speed and I expected better from them after buying their SSDs for all of my computer builds. Very disappointed. Only good for an archive drive. Stick to their SSDs and buy a Samsung flash drive like the fit or the bar if you want it to be truly fast. [Update] I underwent more testing and figured out that these drives do not work well with NTFS and handle small files worse than my BAR drives. They noticeable worked far better with exFAT as the filesystem in my experience. The difference was major and immediate since switching over. I think the issue either comes down to the controller or the flash used. Regardless, take note it does function well, but only when using FAT or FAT based systems (FAT32/exFAT). Shame because NTFS is far more reliable in terms of recoverability so 4/5.

I bought a 10 pack of the 32GB drives, and overall they are OK for general purpose drives. Just be aware that the USB 3.2 label is mostly for marketing! I noticed that one transfer was going really slow, so I pulled out another drive, did a fresh format with default sector size, and did a quick sequential benchmark. I was able to get 17MBps writes and 117MBps reads, random of each would be really poor. As long as you understand this, the drives are good (so far) and will certainly meet my needs for this low price point. Need faster with real USB 3.2 speeds, pay more money. Tested with Windows 11 and 10gbps ports (USB A and USB C). My use case is mostly "burning" an OS image to the drive, then booting a computer from it and installing the OS. Sometimes Ventoy just isn't the right tool (mentioned because someone will probably suggest it). HBCD will finally have a "permanent" home with plenty of room for different drivers for the hardware I might need to work on.

These work great, all were working properly, had 0 issues, and are legitimately 32gb usb sticks. Definitely would recommend for general data storage or file moving from 1 device to another. Came preformatted fat32

Exactly as advertised. Benchmarking with CrystalDiskMark V9, reported 127 MB average read and 88 MB average write. Not fast by any stretch, but as advertised.

Well made. Solid connectivity. Recommended!

Works very well! Definitely pleased with this purchase

Pour le prix je dirais que c'est une affaire. Certes c'est de l'USB-A et que l'USB-C est le futur mais au pire vous mettez un adaptateur et hop vous avez une clé de qualité et bon marché.

Also das ist ein USB-Stick 3.0 der hat genügend Speicher um ein paar Fotos zu speichern ich weiß nicht was man sich unter diesen Rezession vorstellt aber er ist Preis leistungsmäßig echt gut sehr schnell wird nicht heiß zum Wasserkochen nicht geeignet ja kann ich nur empfehlen

Fast and consistent file transfer of large files across devices

Ok it's a usb memory stick. Same size as usual, speed is quick but I haven't got a super fast pc so can't tell it's high speed capability. It's built well, solid case and no issues of connecting and data integrity seems fine despite being used almost daily. Love them. 👌
