10 Pack 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Memory Stick, Vuefamy Swivel Thumb Drives Bulk for Data Storage with Lanyards and Removable Labels (8GB 10 Pack, Black)

Before high speed Internet and cloud storage were so readily available these thumb drives were a big a deal because they were the primary means of transferring digital files from one computer to another. Even so, given the relative huge capacity of these 64 GB (that’s 12 times as much as a DVD disc can store) thumb drives, there are still plenty of situations where they come in handy - like my large screen TV that utilizes an USB thumb drive to store a photo library. And considering cost verses storage volume this set of 5 thumb drives is a bargain - especially recalling that I paid this much for a single 32 MB (2000 times less storage) thumb drive not many years ago! Once you have your treasured files stored on these there are no monthly fees, or risk of loss when some subscription ends, or an online storage company suddenly ceases doing business. If you are still using a device that can use these - and not all do now days - get them.

This 5-pack of 32GB USB 3.0 sticks did not disappoint. 5 out of 5 are working well. Transfer speeds are good. They default to FAT32, I was able to reformat to NTFS without difficulty. The included matching blue lanyards are nice. I appreciate the inclusion of the dozen labels to place on the drives, as I use these to have multiple backups of important information, and labeling them clearly is always an issue. I think this is a solid overall value for a 5 pack of 32gb USB sticks.

Its not the fastest thing in the world but accetable. I like the size because I dont have to commit my huge drives when I just need to carry things with me like OS distros or photos/vids etc. I like that its a 5 pack because my kids always snag them from me. I gave them each one and I still have extras. No failures or DoA with my pack. Good stuff.

This is your basic, unbranded USB 3.0 flash drive. It came with a little lanyard, and already formatted in exFAT, though I tested it with FakeFlashTest and reformatted back to exFAT. It tested at an actual capacity of 117.1GB, which is definitely in the right ballpark for a 128GB drive. However, even just testing the capacity seemed to be going a bit slowly, so I also checked the speed. Using CrystalDiskMark, I measured sequential read and write speeds of 120MB/s and 70 MB/s, respectively. That’s generally ok, and speedy enough for transferring very large files to/from this drive. However, if you have lots of small files to move, it’s not so good. The Random read and write were only around 5 MB/s and 0.8 MB/s, respectively. This is actually a pretty slow random write speed and reveals that this is a fairly low-quality flash memory chip, and the flash controller needs to write at a very slow rate to avoid errors while writing multiple small files or multiple random write locations. So, this is a fairly low-quality drive, and will frustrate you if you are transferring thousands of pictures or other large sets of small files (that would take hours). However, if you just plan to sneakernet a large ISO file around once in a while, this drive should be just fine. Just to verify this, I transferred a real, single 7.67GB ISO file to the drive. It took exactly 2 minutes, and wrote at an average speed of 64MB/s (always between about 62 and 65, so fairly constant speed). For the file size, this was fast enough not to cause frustration, so the drive is certainly usable for these situations. I certainly wouldn’t rely on it for long term archival storage of important files, but it should be fine to shuttle large stuff back and forth. Personally, I wouldn’t mind buying this drive, even with these limitations, if it were much cheaper than some of the name brand alternatives. Although it is somewhat less expensive, it’s not enough less expensive to justify the performance, so I’m not sure I’d call this a great “value” unless you really need to save the few extra bucks. Final Rating: 3 stars. I’m knocking off two stars for the extremely slow random write speed. But it does at least work, and sequential read/write is in the ballpark of USB 3.0 speeds (lower end, though), and the 128GB size was legitimate (117GB actual).

This fast, efficient, durable and functional flash drive installed immediately on my Windows 8, 10 and 11 computers. It retained most of its capacity. The computer showed a capacity of 125GB and of that 117GB was usable, The file transfer speeds are good for a flash drive. I can run a medium quality MP4 video from the drive without problem. I like the metal swivel casing because it protects the drive when I remove it from the PC and store it. I needed a good quality, high capacity flash drive and this drive fulfilled my need. It works like its supposed to work.

This 10 pack of thumb drives is a great value for backing up discrete data chunks for portability and archive purposes. I use them to back up completed-job folders with large graphics files that I may have to access in the future but don’t want left cluttering up my system or the cloud. The included labels help me keep them organized.

For a cheap multipack of USB drives they seem to be decent. Comes with lanyards for each of the drives and some label stickers. Surprisingly the drives that worked, worked better than advertised. In crystaldiskmark I was seeing sequential reads up to 150MB/s and writs up to 60MB/s. So as a whole getting more than payed for. As for the downsides, there are a couple in my opinion. First thing is that one of the drives just straight didnt work. Disk management would see it, but couldnt recognize it as having any storage. Second there is no labeling on them at all, no size indicator or anything. Lastly, they all showed up in a larger bag and individually packaged as well, which is just wasteful packaging. As a whole seems like a decent product, and 1 out of 5 not working for the price doesnt seem to bad to me.

Today most HDTVs and speakers have a built-in USB port with multimedia player capability. So, I converted my CD and DVD collection into MP3 and MP4 files to easily play in multiple devices. And these Vuefamy Swivel Thumb Drives, are the proper storage for the multimedia files. The pack of 10 flash drives of 8GB capability each, are a good option for MP3 music, because a single drive can store the equivalent to hundreds of music CDs. And I created folders inside the drives to organize the songs by artist, and by my personal preference. Like making each folder a playlist. The same thing can be done with the video files These thumb drives have a good read/write performance, and I like the swivel covers, and the labels. In summary, a good option among so many.

Great to have for back up for large files and pictures! Works perfectly, snaps closed and even comes with a strap!

I like that this thumb drive is a fast USB 3.0 drive with plenty of storage. It took me a minute to find the LED light because I had the metal cover over the light.
