Strengths:
It's blue, and has black on it. The USB ejects out when pressed from the button.
Additional Comments:
I bought 8 of these from Memory Express. They were the 32GB model.
Upon Inserting:
===========
6 worked, 2 completely shut down my USB bus, and would not read. Rebooting resulted in the same behavior. Waited too long to refund, so just tossed them.
The balance:
==========
Inconsistent write speeds, and corrupt data was common on at least 4 of these. Within 2 weeks, 3 more just stopped writing anything accurate at all. Ended up tossing them.
2 are remaining and they work, but are still troublesome from time to time. I use them for junk or temp storage. I have 0% faith in these for any data of any value whatsoever.
*** I used to buy Adata products. Lower quality, but in most cases still worked well. These flash drives are junk. I even asked about what the return rate on them and was told "not too many"
I call incorrect on that information. These same flash drives were tested on multiple computers (2 computers, 3 laptops, and 1 friend's computer) with exactly the same results.
All other flash drives I have (15 of them from other brands) work flawlessly.
Like I said in the title, Avoid Avoid Avoid.

Strengths:
Cheap (sort of)
Weaknesses:
- Poor Quality
- Slow transfer speeds (1-2mb/s)
Additional Comments:
Got it for a 3D printer. Waste of material cause the USB started dying after a few weeks which meant the files were corrupted. Completely dead after a month.
According to ADATA, my drive was made.... 13 years ago in 2007.

Strengths:
Cheap.Nice connector slide protector.
Weaknesses:
CONSTANTLY disconnects from PC when transferring data. Shows 'no files found' when writing. Have to remove and reinsert to see the drive. Files incompletely copied.
Other USB drives (Sandisk) work just fine. Doesn't matter what port, doesn't matter what directory. Anything more than a few dozens MB fails to write reliably.NOT worth the hassle.
Additional Comments:
Unfortunately I bought several of these before I discovered that they don't like accept large files (10's of MB).
DON"T waste your money on this one.

Strengths:
Cheap..
Weaknesses:
- Extremely Poor build quality
- Slow transfer rates (Ok for a $5.00 USB key, but still nowhere near 'adequate speeds' if paying full retail price for this KEY)
- Failure rate is high
Additional Comments:
Bought 5 of these keys when they went on sale for $4.99 / each. From the 5 keys that I purchased, 3 are still working (one is a bit flaky), 1 is completely dead (died within a week) and 1 occasionally plug and plays but is inaccessible and was like this since it was taken out of the package after approximately 3 weeks (last one to be opened from the 5 that were purchased).
Overall your money is definitely better spent on a different budget USB key and for the life of me I'm not sure why Memory Express keeps flogging these things and putting them on sale in their weekly lineup of daily 24-hour deals. They should definitely consider a budget Sandisk or 'equivalent quality brand' key instead.
