Decent USB Drive, not the best

Works as advertised but has a serious issue with slowing down and bottoming out during file transfer. It also come out of the socket extremely hot (possibly the cause of it malfunctioning?). I'm not sure if it's the small size or what that causes this too perform in a manner I would consider sub-standard.

It does what it says: holds 16GB. But I'm afraid the GT designation is meaningless, at least on the machines I've tried it - the access speed is a pretty constant 1.5 MB/s, the same as most vanilla USB flash drives I've tried. I'm pretty sure my hardware isn't the sticking point, as my relatively prehistoric 1GB Lexar JumpDrive happily transfers at over 5MB/s.
I've tried reformatting it as NTFS, and that made no difference at all. If I'd known it would be just as slow as a regular drive, I'd have saved $30 and got the non-GT version.

While it is very affordable, it is not as fast as some other USB 3. I tried to copy a bunch of files and compared between this USB with my other USB 2 flash drive. It is nothing scientific. My USB 2 flash drive is very old and it is notoriously slow (but also very cheap.) This new drive read and write faster than my old USB 2. I have to say this USB 3 is about as fast as some of the fastest USB 2.
Given the good price, I can't really complain. If you see a cheap but fast USB 2.0 flash drive, go with the fast USB 2. Otherwise, a slower USB 3.0 is still a pretty good option.
PS It is not the slowest USB 3.0 flash drive. out there. It is a bit slower than the average but certainly ok.

Cheap USB 3.0 Drive. Design is Great. But Performance is not great. Am often getting "Not Responding" message on Windows. Not sure only the unit I received has this issue.

It's a decent USB 3.0 hub, but not spectacular. When I've connected some USB 3 portable drives, they frequently disconnect when they don't when they are directly connected to my laptop. Like many hubs, the cables for connected devices don't fit flush with the device.

I bought this for travel primarily, and am looking for another option for my next trip. The mess of cables, large transformer, and disconnects means it's not as convenient as I had wanted.

I've been using my BUSLink 80GB USB hard drive for a few weeks now, and overall I feel that it is an adequate product. I selected this particular model primarily to store my music collection in a format that is easy to bring back and forth between home and office. Neither my home nor office PC's are exactly cutting edge, so I needed something with USB 1.1. Apparently 2.0 is considerably faster, so if you have it that's probably the way to go. Also in favor of the 80 GB BUSLink was the fact that it has a good "cost per gig" ratio.
Setting it up proved to be a challenge. The instructions that it comes with are woefully inadequate and the BUSLink web site has very little support information. Basically, they claim that you install the driver, plug it in, and away you go. In actuality it required that I wrestle with it for several days, try three different drivers (one included and two from their site), and use the Windows Disk Management tool to configure the drive before it was usable. I finally got it going on my work PC, which is currently running Windows 2000. Prior to this I had tried setting it up on my home PC (also Win2k) with no luck, but once I got it going on the work machine the home PC decided it liked it.
Support from BUSLink was mediocre. I sent them an email and didn't hear back for about four days. By the time they got back to me I had already figured it out on my own. They told me it wouldn't work on my home PC since it had a SCSI drive, which I had already proved to be incorrect.
All that said, once I worked through all these issues it proved to be up to the task. Performance is good enough that you can play MP3's right off of it. It still worked fine with a shared drive on it and a second PC playing MP3's simultaneously. Windows 2000 will complain that you didn't stop the device correctly if you unplug it (even though it is not available as a removable device to stop), but this doesn't seem to cause any problems. Curiously though, I can do this fine on the home PC, but I need to reboot the work PC to get it working after I plug it back in.
Allegedly a lot of these problems are cleared up with XP, but I tried it on an XP machine first and it didn't work on that either. In summary, this is a decent product for someone who is technically inclined and doesn't mind spending some time setting it up.

It's a nice USB drive. I prefer the metal builds such as this, however, the quality isn't so great.
I've had it since 04/2017 and it's already giving me some troubles reading data here and there (music mainly).
The drive is already showing bad sectors which is a bit too soon. I don't write to it at all. It just contains a bunch of music.
Sadly, I will need to replace it soon. And it won't be with another one like this. Maybe I just got a bad one.
Kingston is usually good quality otherwise.

This was fine when I got it. The speed is ok considering it's USB 2.0. It didn't get a lot of use but I didn't have a single problem with it until just recently when it suddenly wasn't recognized in windows. I got the dreaded 'USB device not recognized' error. It was the same on both Windows 7 and Windows 8. Tried several different USB ports, a couple of different cables but nothing seemed to work. Finally I took the drive apart and tried a USB to SATA adapter. The drive worked fine so I assume the built-in adapter died.

The unit is quite simple to get  apart. The base is easily prised off and the disk comes out without needing to unscrew anything.

I have several WD drives and never had a problem so 'll probably just buy a cheap USB drive enclosure.

Kinda good, depending on what you need. I have seen transfer rates go pretty high on my USB 3.0 drive. However it only gets up to the that speed on single, large files. When transferring say folders from a game unzipped, the transfer speed is around 200k a second. This may not be an issue, but for games it might not be great. So depending on what you use this for, you might find it performs fine.

Easy to use is a "duh" kind of a thing, its a usb drive. but it doesnt get any more complex being a USB 3.0 as compared to a 2.0. It was much faster with my 3.0 usb ports than any 2.0 was though, which again is another moment where anyone who has a shred of technical intelligence would be like "well yeah, duh."

I personally liked the little hole at the end of the USB drive though. Could easily loop a small cable through it and tie it on a key chain or around your wrist so you always know where it is... (This is more of a me thing since i keep lots of personal stuff on my USB drive)

Yes, part of it feels like cheap plastic, but it is well constructed in general.

Speeds are fairly average though for USB3, read and write is limited to around 85MB/s. Stark contrast to some others with 256GB getting 150MB/s + speeds. This leads me to believe the current batch have inferior controllers/memory compared to previous batches.

We shall see how long this drives goes for endurance though.

The metal 'case' doesn't feel very good and the connection is loose--but you can easily remove the metal flip-case. Right off, the drive had errors while trying to copy data files to it and needed to be re-formatted (quick format was sufficient) to work.

Most folks would be better off spending a few dollars more and getting a Much larger flash drive. This one was nearly $5, so for about double the price, you could get 16x the capacity--plus a better quality drive all around.

For what it is and what it does you would be hard pressed to better this deal for a good 3.0/2.0 usb flash drive. One caveat be sure to reformat it in NTFS rather than FAT 32 ( the default ) it makes it run much faster.

I've traveled the super highway of USB 3.0, which seems to be about 20-50x faster on file transfers. But, since I'm not using them super frequently, the slowness is OK. In the future, I'll pay $2-3 more per drive for 3.0.

You get what you pay for. This thing doesn't feel solid, but it gets the job done for a reasonable price. Transfer speeds are poor, but I'm not sure if this is because of USB3 being inconsistent, or the enclosure itself. Probably the former. Anyway, it works well enough.

This is a nice USB-C flash drive. I wish it was narrower as I can only insert it into my MacBook Pro when there is nothing in the adjacent port. Also wish the memory was faster to take advantage of the high-speed USB 3.1 spec. While it is one of the fastest available USB-C drives is is still no where near as fast as the premium USB 3.0 flash drives.

This drive (128GB) does not seen to live up to it standards, first thing I did to test capacity is to load it up to capacity, which it fail, my files kept on disappearing, to make everything re appear, I had to remove drive and plug it in again, so I decide to reformat the drive and not use FAT32, still the same, so far I loaded up about 64 GB some of my videos plays in my PC, I tried to load up the files in another device and I got the warning that the drive is damaged and can not be read...for a USB 3.0 is very slow, will keep testing it a little more and if still does not performs at it should, I guess I will have to return it back.
