RAOYI 10 Pack 8GB USB Flash Drive USB 2.0 Metal Key Shape Memory Stick Thumb Drive Pen Drive-Red

So I read the negative reviews but I decided to buy anyway. Turns out there is NOTHING wrong with these Raoyi 8 gig usb keys. I loaded them and tested them and they are working fine. They held all of the photos and videos that I took of my old Jr. High school which was demolished , about 1 and a half gig worth, that I put in.They do seem a bit delicate, but if you go to the dollar store you can get really cool looking color match shiny hologram duct tape and wrap a small strip around the key shaft to match the key color and stabilize it so that it can withstand a little abuse.I also would NOT just shove the key into the port. DO NOT hold the key by the head, but hold it closer to the gold data strips to firmly place it into the port without stressing it.I wouldn't hesitate to buy more. Follow my opinions and you will be happy with these.I will get a photo up soon of what I have done with my keys.

I give these to my real estate clients at the end of their home sale/purchase. I copy all documents onto these USB drives and insert them in a Coin envelope with my business card for safekeeping. I cannot say how durable they are with daily use but for documents that just need to be stored for the rare occasion that you may need them, they are perfect. I've been using these for two years without any problems.

I tested one of the 2GB black devices with F3 probe 7.1It reports the device as being "real" (see below). However, cannot reliably write to it with etcher (The write appears to go smoothly, but it fails checksum validity check at the end)SO mixed reviews....It is Real, but unusable for making a bootable USB stick image.Output from F3 checker:Good news: The device /dev/sda is the real thingDevice GeometryUsable size 1.88 GB (3932160 blocks)Announced size: 1.88 GB (3932160 blocks)Module 2.00 GB (2^31 Bytes)Approximate cache size: 0.0 bytes, need-reset=noPhysical block size 512.00 Byte (2^9 Bytes)Probe Time: 1'18"Read 1.64s /4747 = 346usWrite 1'15" / 1835073 = 41usReset 1us /1 = 1us

At 3.30 a piece this pack was a steal. The drives are super slim so you can stack about 4 into the space a drive would normally take up.The speed however? Woof, I routinely pull no more than 8mb/s write and about 15 read... so these are good for gifting files, photos and the like but definitely NOT a go-to for a live OS.As a side note: one of the drives corrupted every file I fed it without fail. Fun to use as a trash bin but good for little else. It, sadly, found it's way into it's own trash bin shortly after unboxing driving the price of the 9 survivors up about 60 cents.

These are a clever idea for Realtors to give clients a permanent record of necessary documents. The only thing I didn’t like is this should have a small cover or envelope type holder for protection. The tiny piece of plastic is open and does not protect the key.

Great size and work consistently. I have had no problem with the construction, but can see how with slight abuse they could separate, but then the larger ones with plastic with frequently break or come apart. I have some MUCH more expensive ones that are sturdier, but these are great for sharing large files and then not be too concerned if you don't get them back. I used them to share pictures with family. The slim shape makes them very easy to mail and at this price I am not corned if they keep them.

Favorite flash drives. I love the slim key design and the fact that it is metal. They seem to function great. haven't had issues with the connection part being exposed. Can't be beat for price or looks, and function is right up there. I tend to buy these in a variety of sizes, and keep some of the smaller ones more readily available because inevitable people like them so much they just walk off with them.

These are cheap enough that you don't hesitate to pull yet another out of the box to share photos, no need to expect the recipient to give you the USB stick back. (Which they never do anyway!)But what's really great is that they are thin enough to mail or stick in you wallet.
