A

32gb flash drive, speeds tested on with a AMD 7800X3D system with MSI X670E motherboard. I would say the speeds test speaks for itself but if you're a noob to flash drives the consider these are as as fast as it get on budget for flash drives. The drive get really hot when comparing to other flash drives I've owned in the past....It's way too hot even when idle.

It is good

For being an offbrand, they are fast work great very tight fitting would definitely recommend storage capacities beyond what I need

These little C162 128GB flash drives are very economical. I generally use Samsung FIT Plus flash drives and stock up when they are on sale. I couldn't resist buying these little TEAMGROUP C162 drives as the price was very low in comparison to the Samsung drives. One thing I noted right away is Windows reports a total capacity of 116GB for these and 120GB for the Samsung FIT Plus drives. Neither the slightly reduced capacity nor slower speeds are a deal breaker. These are certainly much faster than the best USB 2.0 drives but relatively slow for a 3.0 or 3.1 drive. I'm okay with the speed considering the cost. I'll be using them for storage only and for the inevitable loaner drive(s). I expect you know the typical coworker or friend I'm referring to here. He or she often needs files to take home but NEVER has a flash drive with them to use. My experience with this is, I NEVER get my flash drives back. I'd much rather loan (lose) one of these than a more expensive drive. As far as longevity and data retention goes, only time will tell. All things considered, I'm content with my purchase thus far.UPDATE 3/30/23: I've bought several more since my review and they have a concerning issue with heat.While writing a 120GB OS image, they will get hot enough to burn your fingers. I've had this happen literally every time I've written a large image to these drives. It's not a fluke and could be a potential problem. I'm usually gently wiping the exposed metal with a damp sponge while writing large images.I've noticed all brands will generate heat while writing a large image. These get far hotter than anything else I've used thus far. So far, my efforts to keep them cooled down seem to work well.It's not very convenient to have to cool the drives during a long write process but I feel it's necessary. They will generate some heat even when copying smaller files, but nothing compared to what happens when you are doing a 45 minute plus read or write process. I am not giving up on them by any means, but I will continue to put in the extra effort to keep them cooler when reading or writing large images. So far, I have not experienced any data loss. I hope it stays that way. I still recommend these because of the low cost. Just be aware they can get extremely hot.UPDATE 8/24/23: I tried two of the 512GB C162 models to run a Linux OS from. Both started out with reasonable write speeds. Both had their write speeds reduced to approximately 10% of their original speeds after writing a 256GB image to them. I've never seen anything like this happen, so I thought the first drive was just a bad drive. The second drive exhibited the exact same issues. Something is being damaged within this particular size and model while writing the large image to them. This doesn't happen on the 64GB through 256GB models although they all get overly hot. I may buy more in sizes of 256GB and under but, I'll never buy another 512GB capacity of the C162 model. These two can still be used as storage assuming I can live with USB 2.0 (or less) write speeds. The 512GB versions of C162 are totally useless for what I bought them for.I'm lowering my rating to one star, and I feel that is generous for the 512GB version.

i needed these for my OS because i could not find any 32gb sata ssdprice is great and the ALL work as describedi like the look and the shape with the hole to put on keychain

Speedy! 3.2 Gen 1 on CrystalDisk is close to real world. The price was great too. I have USB 3.2 Gen2 Native on my Asrock B550 Pro. No difference though.Only downside is this was supposed to replace a Silicone Power, Jewel 80, 32 GB. The open space on this isn't nearly big enough for a regular 2" split ring my keys are on. This is also a metal casing with a plastic piece where it should be attached to a key ring. Not sure about durability there. The SP Jewel is all metal with a large round ring for running the split ring through. The SP is tough as nails! This 1 has been on my keys for 7 years. Discolored and worn, it never fails. I just wanted to have more capacity. Another SP Jewel 80 in 128 GB is what I'll have to replace the 32 GB with. This is a Good Buy though!
