Best Brand of Thumbdrives/Flashdrives?

[Merkava_4]

Which brand do you think is the most reliable/dependable?

 

[Ruggy]

I don't think you'll have problems with any of them .
Sandisk are always very reliable.
I also really like Corsair and Crucial.
But I've never had problems with Kingston either.

I’ve been quite happy with Sandisk, particularly their slide-out USB-a/c combination drives.

USB flashdrives are pretty much "a commodity" these days, it seems...

SanDisk is the popular brand, and I still have some of their old slow ones working.
I have some Kingston ones, but some of the old ones have died, so personally I avoid that brand now.

Can't say much about the current models though, as I hardly use USB flash drives anymore.

I have some Corsair at work that are several years old and get re-written at least every other month, if not monthly (corporate PC imaging drive). I also have some AData drives I bought several years ago for cheap off Newegg (3 for $9 for 16 GB drives I think) that are working but aren't re-written nearly as often...

I hardly use USB flash drives anymore.

I have just one remaining use: making bootable macOS installers.
