Topic: Don't buy this USB drive

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L3QPZ46

Nine months of use. It got slow about two days ago, and today it corrupted a bunch of files. Importantly, they can't come un-corrupted by chkdsk or copying new files on top. Anyway, if you'd seen this USB drive and thought about it, well, don't buy it.

Re: Don't buy this USB drive

I always stick to Sandisk products for these small storage solutions.
All USB drives have a higher failure rate than most expect. So NEVER put data you cant recover on them if u can help it.
The sandisks for me seem to hold up better.
