You are technically correct, the best kind of correct!

In terms of the DataStick Sport's reliability, I bought an 8gb one back when Circuit City was going out of business (so a decent amount of time) and it still works just fine for me. That thing just chills in my backpack or in my desk. On the downside though, this drive is only USB 2.0 so the transfer speeds aren't all that great compared to today's standards. Also, if you lose the rubber cap on the drive, I do not think that Centon will replace yours, not even for a small fee. If you just want high capacity (for a flash drive) and don't really care about transfer rates, then I would think this flash drive would suit you well.

I have the 64 gig and it works great. No problems at all. Spilled something on it and nothing reached the inside of the cap. The transfer speed is average to me. Just about the same as any other jump drive I've ever used. I have no complaints.

Don't buy it!
I can't get mine to work from the one I bought 3-4 weeks ago. Useless

I bought the 64GB Centon from dear old Woot a while back. To say it's slow is an understatement. If you want to archive a lot of small files, it's ok. But prepare to wait hours to back up a hard disk etc.

I'm not sure I understand why this is a good deal. If you go to NewEgg.com and type in 64GB USB flash drive, you can see the average price is $38. This is almost double that. I think this one is a definite miss.

Interestingly enough, this drive is also double the capacity of a 64GB one.

It's been 20 years, I am going to copy that floppy.

these are just as useful as the USB 2.0 Floppy drives I found 6 years ago

I kind of jumped the gun and bought one before reading all the comments. 5 minutes later I tried to cancel my order and they said it had already been shipped!! Really

Well, it was probably already processed at the very least. To speed up shipping, we release orders to be processed for shipping. That means a big ol' stack of labels is handed off to be pulled and shipped. Stopping everything to find your order in that stack wouldn't be feasible. Sorry we're being too fast.
