sorted byI actually use these drives for Windows builds, read times are pretty swift.
Very slow to write to, but if you just want to load a drive up with films/TV/music for on the go (or any other use where you're not having to write to it daily), they are ideal.
Just to summarise: It is cheap, it is slow. Many, like me, don't care that it is slow. However many people in the comments are insistent that this is the end of the world. Just buy what works for you. (edited)
My needs:
A) Install windows builds
B) Image machines, so there's a backup available when it all goes 'bluetits up'. (Macurium Reflect).
In format machines. Install windows os, then take a backup image.
Just need cheap as chips drives for this. The imaging requires reasonable speeds.
Cheers
I use Ventoy which provides a simple bootable menu interface for your USB to boot any ISO you drag and drop onto it. Most bootable ISO's will work.
I throw on Windows 10 and 11, gparted and memtest ISO's and highly recommend HBCD ISO (Hiren's Boot CD) ISO - a Windows PE build with loads of tools eg Macrium Reflect, AOMEI Partition Assistant, crystal diskmark/info, etc. Be careful to find the right website I can't remember what it is exactly now.

They are basically write once / infrequently. Write speed not an issue for me.
I need two new ones for my DJ work, but exporting on rekordbox takes a literal age on most sticks. partly the software, but a high write speed does mitigate it abit
