Quality

Have already used it to transfer data and so far it has been seamless

It coming from amazon guarantees good quality and customer service so i would happily recommend this product!

128 gb cannot be formatted to fat32!

The instructions need to be clearer and presented better.

Shipping

This was for a gift, but the packaging and poor instructions were not suitable.
