Maspen 64GB Swivel
Score: 73/100Rankings
The Maspen 64 GB USB 2.0 flash drive offers a rugged swivel-cap design and solid read performance for legacy devices, but its slower USB 2.0 speeds and FAT32 limitations make it less suitable for large-file workloads.
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 and editors view the Maspen drive as a practical, no-frills storage solution. They commend its 360° swivel cap, plug-and-play ease, and bulk packaging, while noting that its USB 2.0 interface and modest speeds keep it out of the high-performance segment.
Everyday users generally rate the drive highly for durability, portability, and ease of use, especially appreciating the swivel cap and keyring loop. Common complaints focus on slower write speeds, FAT32 file-size limits, and occasional inconsistencies between units in a pack.
