Score: 40/100
Inland 16GB USB 2-Pack
Score: 56/100Rankings
The Inland 16 GB USB 3.0 flash drive offers solid read performance and a rugged, cap-protected design at a low price, making it ideal for bulk distribution. Its limited write speed and single Type-A connector keep it from being a high-end option.
The Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 128 GB offers solid read performance and a convenient sliding cap, but its write speeds and random performance are extremely low, making it best for occasional read-heavy tasks.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers acknowledge the drive's solid sequential read capability but criticize its abysmal write and 4K random performance, giving it an AS SSD benchmark score of 0.
Users appreciate the large capacity and easy sliding cap, but many complain about painfully slow write speeds and inconsistent copying.
“Sleek case and worked very nicely for what I needed it for”
“Does exactly what you expect it to do”
“Great product!!!”
Professional reviewers note the drive's solid 70 MB/s read performance, Micro Center's stringent quality testing, and the reassuring 2-year warranty, positioning it as a reliable, value-driven option for bulk purchases despite its older USB 3.0 interface.
Everyday users praise the fast read speeds, durable build, compact form factor with a keychain loop, and the plug-and-play experience across platforms, while repeatedly calling out the slow 10 MB/s write speed and the easily misplaced cap.
