TEAMGROUPC175 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 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.

I received this USB Stick for free when I ordered 32GB of TEAMGROUP's DDR5 5600 RAM for my Alienware laptop - the RAM is excellent BTW. I didn't think much of this freebie USB drive as I typically use the Samsung 400MB/s USB-C mini drives. For giggles, I decided tested this new drive using CrystalDiskmark 8.0.5 and was pleasantly surprised by the results:130.46 MB/s Sequential Read and 77.56 MB/s Sequential Write. (standard setup.. 1GB file size)This is WAY higher than the claimed 75 MB/s. It's rare to come across a product that underrates its performance; somehow, it feels more honest. Now that I know this drive has more modern R/W performance, it will definitely get used instead of relegated to "the drawer".This past year or so, I've purchased a few TEAMGROUP products, more out of curiosity than need. Their lower prices were initially a turn-off, thinking it would be briefly brilliant, but so far everything I've bought from them has performed well and reliably. Wish I could say the same about some of the premium brand stuff I used to blindly depend on (Sandisk, Western Digital, etc). I hope TEAMGROUP isn't putting out premium products just to get their name familiar around geeks, only to later cheap out on components once they're well-known and trusted. If they stay true to making good products, I'll happily recommend them to others.

These work great on all my computers; this is the third time I have purchased these and will buy more as needed.

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.

This was free add-on with the Ram I ordered. I ended up using it to transfer files from my old computer to my new computer and it did the job. It feels and looks high quality. It was pretty easy and fast file transfer and there was no overheating issues with it. Overall I would recommended this if your looking for a safe and good USB stick.

These are great for the price. TEAMGROUP C175 (32GB) formatted: exFAT file system.These are NOT for transferring lots of data as write speeds are about 14MB/s on average (linear) and would be much slower if working with lots of smaller files. Read speed if about 114MB/s on average. See attached pictures. The test was done through full capacity of the drive as some drives have different speeds depending on where the data is being stored.
