These are great, FORMAT them before using to avoid any problems
Very nice drives! I used them to copy photos I took on a cruise for the friends who came with us. Very fast, work great, no problems at all! I read all the reviews prior to purchase, so while I'm commenting on mine, I thought I'd comment on some of the 1 star ratings that made absolutely no sense to me.A brand new flash drive is like a brand new hard drive in some ways. To ensure you have the most space, you format it before use. It is NOT POSSIBLE to catch a virus from a freshly formatted drive. The reason you format is not to prevent virus, but to ensure you get the maximum space possible on your new drive, and to ensure compatibility with your operating system, so this should be habit for you if you use flash drives.To format, you insert a USB, find the flash drive in your File Explorer (the yellow folder icon) - always ensure you have the correct drive before formatting - then right click the drive and find 'format'. This process is FAST on most computers, and would eliminate any viruses. I can't fathom how a brand new drive could contain a virus, but if it did, this kills it, and maximizes space for you.The 'default' file format is Fat32. That is how the USB comes, and what will be used if you simply allow your system to reformat for you. Here's the thing.. most windows uses the NTFS format for hard drives. The difference is that large files over 4gb will be corrupted. These drives are only 4gb in size, so this shouldn't matter or you'd be buying a bigger drive to begin with. You can google the difference between the formats, but bottom line is that Fat32 is such an old format that it will work best for sharing the drive with others. NTFS is better if you will ONLY be using it on Windows machines (not apple, not linux, not older systems).These drives are great, no complaints at all... the 1 star ratings with 'virus' accusations are incomprehensible to me. FORMAT before you use any brand new storage device, that should be the first thing you do when you first set up a new drive anyway. Choosing the correct file format should resolve any problem you have.I'd definitely buy these again, I especially like the different colors available! If you found my review helpful, please 'like' it so I know it's worth reviewing here.

Great product at a great price!
I have had these for a few months and use them to send out client photos. I have had no issues or complaints from clients with them. They are shipped in a nice small box that makes it easy for me to store them in my desk drawer with out them all floating around. I like that they have a light built into them so you know they are actively in use or have been ejected. I will order again.I have attached photos of how I ship them to clients and the box they are delivered in.

These USB Drives are Dangerous
I purchased two boxes of these USB drives and have been using them to send to clients. I've had to replace three of them for my clients, and I actually had one that melted and almost caught on fire. It was plugged in as usual and I smelled an awful burning smell and when I looked, the plastic on the drive was bubbling on both sides and when I went to pull it out of the USB port it was so hot it literally burnt my fingers. I'm thankful that I caught in on time, because who knows what could have happened if I didn't. Pictures attached of said melted USB drive. I now have nearly an entire box of these that I can't use because I'm not sending my clients USB drives that are hazardous or may melt or catch something on fire. Very disappointed and fearful customer.

Classy Looking. One Ended up not reading on Client's computer.
I have only bought 1 10 set of these...but all drives worked. I formatted and tested them each. I found a seller on etsy who makes translucent, personalized logo stickers, which fit just right on the flash drive. They are so classy looking! I have to be honest, even though I got a good set, the other negative reviews make me nervous about choosing these as my go to flash drives for my photography business! I will likely buy again, though.*UPDATE* My last flash drive I gave out ended up being corrupt when the client went to view pictures...It worked on my computer before I sent it to them. so 1/10 didn't read...But now I am wondering if any other clients will end up contacting me at some point, too.

Don't purchase these USB drives
TOPSEL 10PSC 2 GB USB 2.0 Flash drive.I purchased this set of usb drives to give as gifts, far ahead of the date I needed them. 3 out of the 7 were corupted, or a better way to say it, just would not take any info. I tried to put my information on them first on my Mac and then on windows. 1 out of 10 can be an accident, 3 out of 10 not working is just a bad product. How do I get three more that work?I just read other reviews and these customers had the same problem. So I have two questions, why did prime endorse these as a grat product " a Prime favorite" and how did this company get 4 and 5 stars. It must be on their other products.

Perfect for my business
I love these things! Great color and quality.I wanted to use these for my photography business and they are perfect for that reason. I purchased clear return address labels and printed my logo to place on each of the flash drives. These have been a huge hit with clients to receive all of their photos in one place, as discs seem to not be the norm these days. Clients think the color is "cute," and I've received many compliments vs the plain silver or black flash drives I normally see.Pros: Great price, decent quality and a lot of popular colors to choose fromCons: None so far. I've given away all 10 that came in the set and have received nothing but praise about them since ditching the CD's I used to use.

Not as great as expected
I bought these and most of them didn’t work or become corrupt. I bought 4gb 8gb and 16gb packs. I’ve had issues with all. I use them for photography so I would want them to last especially if I’m putting wedding and family photos on them but today I had one that melted while it was plugged in my computer. I’ve had clients call me and tell me they could get theirs to work after I’ve delivered them. So I’ll be looking for others to purchase.
