GOT IT FOR MY WINDOW 11 CLEAN REBOOT IDEAL AND JUST WHAT I NEEDED.
Great USB stick and good value for money I used this to do a Clean Reboot Window 11 from Microsoft. Window 10 will be vased out after 25 October 2025. I got this so when I need to do a Clean Reboot on my PC then that means I will not longer need window 10 as I did the free upgrade to 24H2 now. The USB stick has still got a lot more space but got it just so I can keep a new Clean Reboot of Window 11. Good quality and plenty of free space left. I would recommend this USB stick as it comes in a nice wee box and it has a slide which means the connector is hidden when not in use. II like it may get some more for my games and my photos I got 128GB.

Does the job well
I actually ordered this by mistake but kept it as it was fairly priced, it now sits in my desk drawer after being used as a system recovery driver for my pc. It helped me out of a hole and has a good 128Gb size for the light tasks you may need one for. I would recommend this.

Good size but seemingly low quality plastic
Nice USB but low quality plastic. Everytime I unplug it, it feels like it could break. And I use it to transfer files from different devices so I’m gonna be plugging and unplugging it many times. Besides the durability, it has a decent size, okay writing speed, and it does get slightly warm but not that hot. I think it was like 15 pounds, so worth it for the price.

Great.
Works well and good price. About a tenner compared with phone shop wanting £35 for similar.

Fast, Reliable, and Great Value – Perfect for Everyday Use!
I’m really impressed with this Amazon Basics 256 GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive. It’s compact, sturdy, and performs exactly as described. The read speed is fast , files transfer quickly and smoothly when plugged into a USB 3.0 or 3.1 port. I’ve used it to back up photos, videos, and large documents, and it has handled everything without any issues. I love it

Decent Quality at a good price
Decent usb flash drive at a good price. This Amazon basic drive has met my needs for temporary storage for my needs. If not looking for hyper fast drives then this is a good buy. It is a bit big, but for what I use it for, that is not a problem. Simple decent drive at a good price, and seems quite durable, as well as portable. Speed is decent for what it is, so no issues there.

Good value as usual from Amazon Basics
This is a handy little flash drive with plenty of capacity and at a reasonable price. The drive is available in two capacities - 128Gb and 256Gb. I got the larger size as I had a number of big files that needed to be moved around and a flash drive was by far the easiest option to complete this task. It is a USB 3.1 flash drive so you will need free USB-A style port free to plug the drive into. If you only have a spare USB-C port then you would also need a USB-A to USB-C adapter. Transferring files onto the drive is quite slow, which is expected with most USB 3.1 flash drives, but with that said this Amazon Basics drive outperformed one of the big brands of external storage devices in a quick test I performed - which surprised me as the big brand was quite a bit more expensive. The read speeds are much faster than write, which is to be expected and I was getting 150MB/s read speeds. During long write activities the drive does warm up a little, but nothing to be concerned about. The USB connector on the drive can be retracted within the case of the drive to protect it from damage and this is a very useful if you transfer the drive around. Additionally there is a little loop at the end of the drive which is a handy feature if you need to carry the drive around as you can clip it onto a lanyard or key chain.

Clé que j'utilise depuis quelques années. Aucun souci à part l'espace de stockage qui n'est pas égal à 256GB

Very good product, works very well with windows and linux. The speed is a bit low but that is fine.

A USB that does what it was advertised to do. Obviously I didn't read it properly. I thought it would slot into my android phone, but it needed an adapter before I could use it.

Bought this as a filler item to get free shipping, and it works fine. It’s a standard, reliable flash drive with plenty of storage for the price. Speeds are decent for daily tasks. It’s perfect for keeping as a backup, whether for media or as a Windows boot drive. Cheap and does exactly what it's supposed to.
