SamData 32GB USB Flash Drives 2 Pack 32GB Thumb Drives Memory Stick Jump Drive with LED Light for Storage and Backup (2 Colors: Black Blue)

Samdata flash drives at a great price. Available in several colors these are very dependable and good quality.

Wow, these are great. I thought due to the good price it wouldn’t be what I need, but I gave it a try and I’m glad I did. They were so easy to use, fast and efficient! They are small so store easily, and the value for what I received was great. They come in two colors, so that was nice, I appreciated the design.

To date I have used THREE of the FIVE Thumb Drives on TWO laptops. I used one on my laptop by doing a full back-up. Everything went quite smoothly, no different from any other thumb drive I've used. I gave one to wife to perform a back-up on her laptop. No problems for her either. Every two weeks or so my wife and I updated the thumb drive for our laptops for six weeks. The other day I was adding files to update the thumb drive for my laptop. During the update, I saw an error that stated the file could not be added because the file name was too long. I then noticed an error that stated the drive was not ejected properly. I had not touched anything so I removed the thumb drive and re-inserted it into the laptop. Nothing happened. The thumb drive didn't appear anywhere on the laptop. I tried the thumb drive on my wife's laptop, but it didn't work there either. I tried one of the remaining three drives and found that it was "seen" by the laptop. I copied a few files to the third drive with success and then did a full back-up. Sadly the original Thumb Drive I used to back-up my laptop no longer works. This is the first time a thumb drive from any manufacturer has failed. I'll be sure to have two back-ups, one father and one grandfather, for each of our laptops going forward which is good practice anyway. I would have given five stars for all categories, but a current fail of thirty-three percent doesn't not qualify for five stars.

I bought these flash drives to download OESD embroidery design files for use with my Bernina 770QE Plus sewing/quilting machine and Bernina Embroidery Module. THEY WORK VERY WELL. If you are a seamstress and/or quilter then you know that while Bernina machines are some of the finest and most expensive available, they use many proprietary accessories and they can be quite finicky when it comes to after-market accessories. These 16GB, 2.0 flash drives work flawlessly. Bernina machines utilize older, lower data storage and slower transfer rated hardware and software. That said, Bernina machines love these stick drives. Shame on Bernina, a market leader in premium machines, for not utilizing the latest technologies when it comes to flash drives like 3.0 and 3.1. They have very recently adopted the faster, more universal and current USB-C flash drives on some of their newer models making data transfers to newer machines easier for users without them having to purchase an additional USB-A to USB-C adapter. That’s probably due to the recent E.U. mandate forcing manufacturers to all play by the same rules when it comes to connectivity. Bernina would also have you to believe that everybody is willing to fork out $65 plus dollars for their proprietary flash drives. Don’t do it! Buy these and a USB-A to USB-C adapter if necessary to suit your needs.

These seem to work very well. I'm using them to put my books-on-CDs onto these flash drives. So far, they are working well and a great buy.
