Integral 256GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive Courier Blue up to 120MBs

Reliable
I have bought this item several times, and whilst they are not the chaepest, and they are not the fastest, I always find them to be reliable, and doubtless, I’ll buy more.

UK company – that’s important
Integral Memory is a UK-based company, it’s my personal preference to opt for productsfrom UK companies – especially if they are made in the UK. If products are only designed in the UK and manufactured elsewhere, then they have a lower preference rating for me.As for the drive itself:Fastest speeds in 5 tests using USBdeview from Nirsoft (directly connected to laptop port):Read speed – 17.83 MB/SecWrite speed – 117.65 MB/SecAdvertised as up to 120MB/Sec Read so that is pretty close.Advertised as up to 30MB/Sec Write so that is not very close.For more nerd info – Vendor/Device Id’s are 346d/5678Most of the tech companies are from the usa, china or s. korea – so supporting a British firm is important, and to be honest, as long as the price, performance and durability are in the good to great range then it’s a win.Performance is a tricky metric as it depends on both the device itself, the device it is plugged in to, the operating system, the state of the operating system, the drivers used etc.In reality, USB drives get larger and faster over time, so the most important factors are price and speed, since reliability will generally outlast usability (i.e. storage capacity becomes a limiting factor before the device fails). I still have a reliable 2Gb Toshiba flash drive, but 2Gb is not as usable nowadays.Write speed was around half of advertised speed, so maybe 3*’s would be fair? Having said that, we are naturally biased since it is at the Write times where we want files to be copied asap, and we’re not too bothered with Read speeds, even though we need the Read a lot more than the Write.But it’s British – so one extra star for being British, so 4*’s.And wherever possible, I’ll keep choosing Integral over other manufacturers as long as they price well and stay British.

Excellent item and works a treat.
so far so good, does what it says.

Balanced capacity and cost
* PhysicalThumb drives are always useful. If I need to use FAT32, losing the extra 32 Gig size to format is not too much. The 64 Gig size covers most day-to-day capacity usage. I have used this brand before. And they are reliable. If I use a drive for Linux Mint, or Zorin, to create a portable version of Linux, it’s well able to carry this off. I have used one of these thumb drives to create recovery media for my Ashampoo backup Pro v17.17.11 recovery system. This recovery system took a trial-and-error approach to make it operational. But by selecting to boot from this Flash drive setting in my UEFI Bios, it’s eventually working now. I am happier with this to fall back on now. The big-sized, with USB 2.0 takes ages to load with data. I could try USB 3.0 ones, they are a quarter of the time to fill, but with a greater price. If no rush, these USB 2.0 will do the job. The equipment it will work with is most makes that support USB 2.0, can format for Windows uses FAT32 / exFAT / NTFS, Mac uses APFS / HFS+ / exFAT / FAT32, while Linux uses Ext 2 / 3 / 4, ReiserFS, BtrFS / FAT32 / FAT16Tip. To reuse a thumb drive previously dedicated to a similar to live Linux, look into Windows Administrative Tools / Disk Management and follow the wizard. Look for repartitioning and reformatting the pen drive. For exact help, go to YouTube and search for help there. Most times you will be able to reuse this thumb drive previously used for live environments. It is recommended that exFAT be applied to a pen drive as it is designed to optimise performance and protect pendrive capacity. It’s a journaled filesystem and this protects data from corruption. However, if you choose NTFS, this is fine too. As you can read, the format with the wisest acceptance in computing is FAT32. But with a low capacity size of a maximum of 32 Gig, and a max single file size of 4 Gig.

Mi ero fidato di questa marca perché ne ho altre 2 vecchie che funzionano perfettamente, ma questa Integral Chiavetta USB 64 GB uno scandalo la inserisco la elabora poi mi manda in tilt il pc non la riconoscee si disconnette, ho speso poco ma non vale niente.Stelle zero zero zero meno, finita nella spazzatura

Eftersom skivor håller på att fasas ut som lagringsmedia för migrering och långtidsförvaring av data är det många som satsar på fasta minnen, men dessa minnen började via Windows returnera felmeddelandet att enheten inte känns igen och att enhetsbeskrivningsbegäran misslyckades. Efter cirka två veckor slutade båda två att fungera. Eftersom de har relativt hög minneskapacitet, var det mycket data som gick förlora i och med haverierna. Jag rekommenderar att istället köpa andra lagringsminnen.

Very good as described
