EXTREMELY SLOW
My SanDisk write speed was about 80 MB/s. This averaged 6 MB/s.Insanely slow. This is not a 3.2Gen. it is a first gen. 928 GB stick. Not worth the price. Takes 40 hours to copy 900 GB to it. I am shocked Staples did not realize this is not a 3.2 Stick. I won't buy this again.

VERY SLOW-16 MBS
I ordered 2 of these and I ordered the comparable Sandisk 1TB. The Sandisk was 85 MBS. This was 16 MBS. I couldn't believe how slow it was. Like a 1st generation USB 1.1 stick. It is 932 GB. It tests good as having 923 GB but the speed is so slow it takes 16 HOURS to copy the 923 GB to the stick. NOT WORTH THE MONEY. GO WITH SANDISK INSTEAD. AND ALWAYS TEST ANY USB STI...

Priced right and Works OK
Weird thing is that these memory sticks are not marked as to capacity so you can't tell what size it is until you plug it in.

Reasonably priced TB thumb drive
Purchased 512 GB and 1 TB drives. Transfer speed seems good (did nit benchmark but transferring just under 100 GB seemed reasonable. Only complaint is the capacity is not printed on the drives. Not an issue with our use.

Great Delivery experience

The second hasn't been shipped yet. about the Centon USB 3.2 I just received although I haven't opened my package yet I'm familiar with the Centon USB flash drive having used one key for the past ten months. It's a very durable US...

Average not excellent
Online part was smooth. Offline pickup took too much time due to store employee’s incompetence: I was made waiting for 20+ minutes only for her to call for help and then found my package to be one of the three boxes on the shelf for the whole time

Good capacity but very slow
The flash drive has great capacity and the build quality seems high. However, it comes formated in FAT32 so right out of the package I had issues putting large files on it and had to reformat. Once reformatted, the writing speed to this USB is atrocious. Like painfully slow. Unfortunately the packaging is gone and I can’t return it and now have to purchase yet another f...

Flash Drive
It magically allows one to transfer data within the limits of its capacity. Never fails and because of it’s dimensions if not stored properly may be difficult to find.

Centon DataStick arrived faulty
We ordered a 2-pack of the Centon DataStick Pro 512 GB USB flash drive. One of them worked fine but the other was faulty out of the box. It prompts the user to format the flash drive but formatting is not successful. We've tried a number of computers.

Worked fine
Purchased as a rescue flash for a Windows system that required > 32 GB. Don't care about the speed of transfer. Worked well for that purpose.
