Verbatim 64GB ToughMAX USB 2.0 Flash Drive - Extremely Durable Thumb Drive - Black

This thing is comically durable. I actually think you could run over it with a Ford F-450 super duty and it wouldn't have a single problem with it AS LONG AS it had the cap on it that being said. But it works great with every computer I plugged it in it still works great I loaded it up with a VINtoy and use it to install ISO files into my computer for various operating systems and it has had no errors you can get it in any color you want as long as you buy it in Black when you select black LOL just like Ford said. The portability is great. it is absurdly Tiny it is probably an inch and a half long or 38.1mm and the speed was good part of the benefits of it being so armored up with plastic is the heat dissipation is actually pretty good. and it handled heat pretty well without slowing down very happy with it

I bought these flash drives for storing some data in a fireproof safe. The safes are typically rated not to exceed 350° F internal temperature for a specified amount of time and are primarily meant to make sure that paper documents are not destroyed. While this flash drive has an official rating of up to 300° F, it seems to actually function just fine up to 350° F. I filled the flash drive with data and baked it twice at 350° F in the oven for 1 hour each time (and did it again with a different ToughMAX flash drive for another hour). The data on the entire flash drive survived without any corruption based on hashing it before and after. There was just one caveat - after the first one hour of baking, the plastic within the USB connector deformed (the flash drive was baked with the plastic on top, so it bent down) and I could no longer plug the flash drive in. However, after baking it again, but this time with the plastic on the bottom, the deformation corrected itself and the data on the flash drive was still fine. Lastly, I baked it for 1 hour at 400° F and the data did get corrupted (not really sure to what extent - none of the 300 100MB files on the drive had the correct hash). However, new copies of the data wrote and read correctly to/from the flash drive, so it seems that the flash drive may still be usable, though I personally don't intend on trusting it any more. So, I think these are fine to use for storing data in a fireproof safe, but (1) store them with the plastic in the USB connector on the bottom and (2) maybe store a couple copies of the data - both on separate flash drives and within the same flash drive just to be more cautious.

First and foremost, this IS a USB 2.0 drive. Amazon has it listed as "3.0" in error. I knew this before placing by purchase. I was actually looking for a 2.0 flash drive of large 64GB capacity as the devices I am using are 2.0 only. It is not very easy to find large capacity 2.0 drives nowadays. It does not copy fast and I expected that as well. It took around 4 hours to copy 50GB of data to the drive. This is not bad at all for 2.0 speeds especially considering I was copying around 50,000 or so small files. The speed is not of a concern to me. It is the fact that it is able to complete the copy without disconnecting. I have some 3.0 flash drives from other manufacturers and some of these will actually disconnect in the middle of the copy. I am not sure why this is, but it is very annoying. I still do not think the 3.0 spec is as reliable as 2.0 drives. I have never had this happen with any 2.0 drives I have owned in the past. I also wanted a drive that was built to last. Everything now is made of cheap plastic and paper thin metal connectors. Or even worse, some companies use PLASTIC usb connectors! What were they thinking? This drive is a rock and you know it the moment you remove it from the packaging. It is extremely reliable and absurdly sturdy. I would suspect building these is costly Verbatim a premium and I don't expect production to continue because of this and because 2.0 flash drives are considered legacy products now. That said, pick them up while you can. I just purchased two more 64GB drives. Highly recommended.

Good item.

It's a ruggedized USB drive and fits that purpose well. Doesn't trade ruggedness for usability as a USB with good write speeds. It's very compact - a blessing and a curse, because I could see myself losing it if not attached to a keyring or lanyard, but does make it very useful as an everyday carry option.

Great value and works as expected

Já estou usando há mais de um ano e está funcionando normalmente.

This is one DURABLE flash drive; and no doubt, due to the Proprietary KyronMAX material it’s made with! If it’s good enough for use in fighter jets, as advertised, it should be good enough for us. I appreciate the hole provided for use with a lanyard as it’s so compact, as well as its high water and temperature resistance and Verbatim’s limited lifetime warranty. And, although I rarely need one, Verbatim also offers downloadable password protection software. The USB 2.0 is not the fastest, but it’s more than adequate for my needs. and the cap fits very securely. I’m happy with this purchase, and especially for the price.

Parou de funcionar. Na verdade nem tinha usado ele direito antes. Tinha apenas testado e aparentemente estava ok. Mas 3 meses agora após a compra fui de fato precisar usar e ele dá erro e não transfere mais arquivo nenhum.
