Score: 40/100
Mecheer 128MB USB Flash Drive
Score: 29/100Rankings
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.
The Mecheer 128 MB 10-pack provides an ultra-budget, durable swivel USB 2.0 solution for distributing tiny files in schools or events. Its minuscule capacity and slow speeds make it unsuitable for modern data needs.

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 view it as a niche, budget-oriented product whose main strengths are the rugged swivel design and low unit cost, but note outdated capacity and reliability concerns.
Users appreciate the low price and sturdy design for small-file giveaways, yet many report rapid failures and the impractical tiny storage size.
