Aiibe 8GB USB Flash Drive Colorful 8G Memory Stick Thumbdrives 10 Pack (Mix Colors : Black Blue Red Green Orange White Yellow Pink Purple Silver)

My 3rd purchase for USB memory from Aiibe. Each USB flash drive is well made. The aluminum surface is excellent for labeling the USB drive, either with a marker or label. One very minor drawback is that there is no indication on the drive that states 64GB.I was curious if the memory was the same for each of the USB drives or perhaps if some bits were not active. Again as with previous orders I randomly tested 3 USB sticks out of the 10 for memory. Consistent quality, each one showed exactly the same for total memory (62,909,317,120 bytes). Of note- these come formated as exfat, so for files larger than 4GB or depending on the operating system, consider formatting to NTFS (right-click on the USB drive, select format).These USB sticks are ideal for my storage needs, and the quality for the price is hard to beat. As a tip, this is a SSD where memory relies on an electrical charge, so refresh your USB memory stick every 2-3 years by connecting them to a PC or tablet. As with any SSD, memory life will be extended 5-10 years and of course it's always smart to back up data.

So far they are good usb 3.0. They are faster than drives with usb 2.0 which I appreciate. I am just beginning to use them. That will take time. USB 2.0 are not very reliable. They begin to fail after using them for a while. These new 3.0 drives load song files pretty fast. I have no reason to complain by this time. Only time will tell if they are good enough. Let me test them for a year and I will come back and review again and I will let you know how they are behaving

I used h2testw to test the capacity of one of these, randomly selected. It is indeed a 16gb drive.

Great price for a 10-pack of 64 GB thumb drives. But using them is difficult! Not just slow, but intermittent and sometimes the transfer stops and the drive fails to respond. To be fair, I have a couple of other brands of thumb drives and they're not a lot better. Maybe USB 3 is just not up to the task for transferring 64 GB of data. Pretty sure my internet downloads are faster than file transfers to these drives. I found, however, that the performance improved when I reformatted these thumb drives with NTFS, rather than their exFAT file system. The switch to NTFS didn't necessarily make them faster, but at least the transfers didn't stop altogether. Using them with their default exFAT system on my Windows 10 PC, I couldn't get uploads to complete at all. The drive would always stop responding before all the files were transferred. With NTFS, all of the files transferred, and at about 3 MB/s, on par with other thumb drives I have. Would love to get a minimum of 100 MB/s. Maybe the problem is Windows. Or maybe I need to purchase more expensive thumb drives. But with the NTFS workaround, and paying only about US$3.80 per 64GB thumb drive, I guess I'm reasonably satisfied with these! I can put up with "slow" but I have no patience for "intermittent."

I was having trouble finding a USB drive that would work well in my car (2025 Toyota Camry) to play MP3 and WAV (and other formats) music audio files directly from my car stereo. Other drives I tried either weren't recognized by my car's system, or wouldn't retain the audio files, became corrupted easily, etc., but these work great. The audio files copied fast onto them from my computer (so much faster than USB 2.0 flash drives), and I have a few of these drives almost completely filled with music and audio files. These come pre-formatted in FAT32 format, with is the format that most cars (like mine) will recognize (my car will not recognize ex-FAT or NTSF formatted drives, and I'm sure that the same is true with most other car stereo systems. Flash Drives that are larger than 32gb usually come formatted in ex-FAT format (which most cars will not recognize), and besides, flash drives larger than 32gb will likely take a long time to load when you plug them into your car, so I recommend the 32gb size for this purpose. The different colors of these drives helps identify at a glance which drives have what on them, which is nice.

Nice pack and variety of colors... would buy again!

The way it's packaged is so exquisite. I believe this is what was truly inside the suitcase in Pulp Fiction. I only wish it came in a hard plastic case instead of the cardboard box. I would pay more for that, since the packaging is already so nice on the inside. These are color-coded, making them great for remembering which drive does what without needing to manually label them. In my case they are Linux installers: orange is Ubuntu, blue is Fedora, etc. This is a great solution for that.

These are great for sharing photos and videos with family. I come from a large family of 16 children and over the decades have collected over 2,500 photos and videos I took and other members of my family have taken. Some as far back as the 1930's. I downloaded them on these thumb drives and sent them to various family members of several generations so they will live on in our family history for more generations to come. Easy to load pictures and videos on them and inexpensive to mail them to family and friends. If you forward them to other family members and you should lose your pictures and videos through flood or fire or other means, they will still be around safe in the hands of other family members who can return you copies if you ever need them.
