ADATA Classic Series C802 4 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive AC802-4G-RBB

 (5 customer reviews)

I bought this because I wanted a black flash drive that looks neat. The drive arrived different than pictured, instead I got one that wasn't engraved but instead had white print and a different type face. Not a big deal, it still looks great but I knocked off a star because of that. I have uploaded a picture. The plastic feels okay and there is no creaking. Not much else to say, it's functional and works. It's speed is as with any other flash drive with this price. (I ordered the 4 GB version)

I will say that the mechanism to push out the USB is a little stiff; perhaps too stiff. This could be a benefit or a con, depends on how you look at it. It's solid, and feels as if it will not break.

Usually wouldn't bother with a flash drive but I wanted to confirm a few things that had me worried when buying this.

My flash drive was:
All black. Not multi-colored like other reviews mentioned.
16GB. Not 8GB like other reviews also mentioned.
Sturdy. The retractable mechanism was actually very stiff at first and after playing it with an hour it hasn't cracked or anything like that. It seems more durable than my Sony Micro Vault I've had for about 5 years now. I don't think it's going to break anytime soon.

I purchased this from Amazon so maybe that has something to do with the first two issues.

Update: A few months later this drive died out on me and good luck getting them to make good on the warranty. If it's just for occasional use it might be good otherwise try another brand.

The drive worked for me for about 5 months. But the slide mechanism on the side of the drive that slides the USB connector in and out broke. I slid the connector in and now it won't come back out again, so the drive is useless. I even tried prying apart the case with a utility knife.
