Probably wrongly worded, I've meant to say USB 3.0 flash drives. In the US they are reasonably priced, but here in Seoul for some reasons they are more expensive particularly the 64 GB capacity. When the price gets near $100 then I would prefer to buy a 500 GB/1TB external USB HD which have all USB 3.0 technology nowadays.
did you find the kingston datatravel metal dtse9 faulty? i mean easy to find faulty unit? got many of them MyEventViewer.exe i noticed many disk errors on them
Any. For backing up small files they all seem to work fine; and I've yet to see one fail, even with very heavy use (which is more than can be said of hard drives). Edit: also, for backing up larger files, I've not seen much speed difference between the various brands. Maybe the high-end ones are faster, I don't know.
I think they all are. I have one that went through the washing machine. Years later, still works fine (don't know which brand). PS: Didn't vote in that I have no real preference.
I've never killed a flash drive by washing it and have done it a few times. I don't have a years later scenario as I have an unfortunate habit of losing flash drives.
Ow! Well they advertise the product that way. I've actually never allowed water anywhere near my products. So I wouldn't know. Maybe the water resistant feature advertised is absurd then but I sure like my usb flash drive whatsoever.
The only true water resistant device that i've owned and worked perfectly until its battery passed out first than the hardware was a . . . HOLD YOUR BREATH GUYS. Yes, thats right a Nokia 1200. Fell into a river and recovered it, let it dry and it still worked as if nothing happened. Worked for 2 years more after the incident and the battery died, decided to replace it with another Nokia. (XpressMusic) That thing was nuke proof LOL.
Nokia make extremely reliable phones, until smartphones started dominating the market they were the most popular phones in Australia. But, they never seemed to take off in the US.
Nokia isnt the same as before. I bought a Nokia 100 6 months ago and it was very fragile. I dropped it maybe 3 times by mistake and something went wrong inside, everytime it received a light, very light impact, it would turn off by itself. I ended up replacing it with a smartphone.
Oh how nostalgic. I remember using that for 6 yrs. It was dropped tens of times, spilled water on, sat on, stepped on, etc. and it survived. No scratch. Worked wonderfully until battery died and I decided to move on.
I'm using 101 bought about 2 yrs ago. And it was dropped a few times, thrown at the wall in anger and sat on. Still going strong.
Mine didnt hold up well. I still have it but its unusable, even when placing it on a hard surface (Table, Desk) sometimes it turns off by itself.
@Noob Well clearly you're attached to the phone. Why not get the poor thing to a hospital? Best thing would be make yourself brave enough to let it RIP.
Attached? Nah, if it still works i see no reason at all to dump it. It could be useful in an emergency.
I prefer KingSton it is very cheap and works w/o problems for years. But if you're looking for high performance/speed solution kingston isn't that good for you.
None of the flash drives i've owned have ever failed me and i hope they dont. Usually i lose them before they stop working.
@Brandonn2010 How do you like the Adata flash drive? I use ADATA UD310/16GB. How much storage is yours?
16GB as well. Much faster than my Patriot, even though I'm using it on USB 2.0 instead of 3.0. I use it as a multiboot USB and to carry portable tools to fix computers. I like my Patriot too, as it is encased in rubber, which makes it water/shock resistant, but because of how the casing is, I think the connector is becoming detached from the flash memory.
