If you like to gamble, these are for you
Let me start with the fact that these are a decent value at the cost I paid, 3 16GB Flash Drives for 16 Bucks at the time of purchase.
2 Failed in less than 1 month with Cyclic Errors and Unreadable I/O Errors
1 is currently still working
The RMA response time was excellent, however, I will not be RMA'ing these drives, as you will be required to pay 1 way return shipping. At the cost of these drives, it's not worth the hassle, time and money to return them. Item's like this should be good faith; destroy the damaged goods, and be shipped out replacements..these are not $200 motherboards, cpu's or graphics cards..they are simply defective flash memory.
Site Note: Direct Quote from Customer Service:
"We don’t suggest to use our UFD as bootable USB drive, which is a special usage and might cause this USB drive to crash."
I was not using them in this way, and it's a good thing I was not. I work in IT *Network Field Technician", imagine being on site for a critical response and thinking that the 3 brand new drives you bought would work..You would only be 1/3 correct, in this assumption.
This is not what I can came to expect from Teamgroup. Their RAM is Excellent (Dark Za) their SSD's {VULCAN) are good, but I can't say the same about the USB Flash Memory.
