Update from prior harsh review
on August 2, 2021
Posted by: SomervilleTom

Since writing my recent harsh (1-star) review, I've determined that my inability to store a CentOS 8 dvd ISO was a result of the tool I used (Fedora Media Writer). I was able to store a different ISO (Rocky Linux 8.4) on this stick with this tool with no issues, and I saw the same failure attempting to write the CentOS 8 iso to a USB stick from a different supplier.
The "documentation" is still inadequate. There are two ways to align the black USB3 plug with the gray holder. In one alignment, small white arrows on the two parts face each other. In the other, the white arrows are on opposite sides of the assembly. I'd like at least a photo that shows the expected working alignment.

Disconnects

sustained reads at full speed will over heat the drive and it will disconnect.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Broken after 1 use.

it's a cool idea, but despite being water proof, shock proof, magnet proof, temperature proof and x-ray proof (??), the flimsy lid couldn't protect the usb c connector in my pocket.
unfortunately, instead of the lid sealing/attaching to the rest of the thumb drive and protecting the connector, it only seals around the connector itself, so any force on the lid, damages the usb c end.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This product is extremely useful and practical.

Posted by: Jlbenn88
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The duo stick memory card is awesome. I use it for any file transfer or media carry. I recently updated my car sync software with no issue. Runs fast and smooth and has lots of space. Can carry ot in your pocket and not even know it's there
Never had a format issue with this device.

Poor design, slow write, easy to toose adapter.

Expertise:Expert
Altogether a nice idea, but it is very easy to to loose the USB A adapter, should have been part of the main body with 2 caps instead....
Very slow write cycles, read super fast. Takes hours to use it as a backup disk.
Lots of better and cheaper options in the market.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
