Usbkingdom 8GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Super Speed Metal Silver Credit Card Bank Card Shape Pendrive Memory Stick Pen Thumb Drive

I like that I have a way to move data around at any given moment, though I ended up using a more durable and higher capacity metal USB keychain drive much more often. I've had some keychain USB drives break or go missing from my keychain in the past and I thought this may be a solution, but after a few uses I can't help but to feel like the "flip tab" is eventually going to crack, shatter, crumble and possibly destroy the USB port. It hasn't broken yet and I still carry it in my wallet, but rarely get any use out of it now that I have found a more durable metal body USB keychain drive.

When the product arrived I had very low expectations. I had previously ordered similar USB’s and received disappointment after disappointment. To my great relief, this was the product I was looking for. The metal card is indeed a 3.0 USB with 30 Gigabytes of space. The reason that it is two less than the mentioned 32GB is because on a card this small, internal memory commands/programming has to come out of its own storage.PERFORMANCE: The average downloading (writing) speed was 25 mb/second while the average uploading speed was 45 mb/second. I am a student that interacts with video files frequently, usually transferring 20+ GB of data at once. Having this large storage USB has been a massive help to me.PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES: The flash drive comes in a basic amazon packaging with a small blue peel off layer as added protection. The reviews describing the quality are mostly right as it is really just two pieces of metal, strongly glued together. I had to get increasingly rough with the metal around the actual flash drive as it is hard to flip it out with ease unless you bend the case a bit.USEAGE: To use the flash drive I learned that you insert it into a standard USB 3.0 compatable slot with the times facing upwards, not down. I usually have to apply a decent amount of force to remove it from the USB ports as it lends itself to getting stuck quite often. I have tested this product on a Lenovo student laptop and a Lenovo PC tower (both on windows 10), as well as a 2014 Mac book air running the latest software as of this review (4/9/18). I have not encountered any problems while using the flash drive on any of these devices as it recognizes it in about 4 seconds and lets me access the files very quickly. Be aware that for large files (5 or more GB) the USB seems to heat up a lot. It has not affected my experience but it is worth mentioning as some other reviews have talked about it.PROS:• Small and decently durable• Large storage capacity• Makes for a unique And unusual gift• Very fast transfer speed• No set up required, plug it in and use immediately• Can fit in a wallet or pocket easilyCONS:• Very hard to flip out to use USB unless you bend the metal• Has a tendency to get stuck when putting it in or taking it out of a port• Can becomes somewhat hot during and after transferring files• Hinge is flimsy but has not broken as of 5 months use• Ridge where metal is glued feels rough in some partsMy overall opinion is the product is worth the money and the purchase. I am very happy with the product and how it has turned out and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy this product again.

I used to have a huge issue with keeping track of my flash drives. But this design is so sleek and so compact that I just keep it in my wallet 24/7. my only regret is that I didn't buy more, and that the hinge is kinda flimsy and it used to click into place to hold the drive part down but other than that, solid drive.

Fast and stealthy but the connection on the hinge is weak and feels flimsy, enough pressure could bend this out the card case. If it was more sturdy I would have seriously given this product a 5 star.

The build quality is great, and it is fast and looks premium enough

Hinge broke within 3 days of usage. "Card" was just two thin pieces of aluminum glued together poorly.

Good, useful

Good Quality!! 👌
