The ones I have are the slider in/out with a spring function; USB3 32G

Slide the plug all the way out and if it can be pushed back in but
resists by spring action - that is the one to avoid!

When I try to push the USB stick into a port the USB Stick spring action
keeps me from pushing the USB Stick in all the way!

When I think it is in I try to get data on or off the stick and it fails
half way through the transfer. Sometime screwing up the USB Stick
making it unusable for Wn XP. I have to plug the USB Stick into a Win 7
PC and do a disk check to get the functionality back.


I learned it long time ago and thankfully these were all 2GB and 4GB and
so disposable.

As soon as you try to push in the USB port, the slide closes and you
can't push at all. Complete waste of money and the designers of these
flash drives should resign immediately.
