Review: GOT IT FOR MY WINDOW 11 CLEAN REBOOT IDEAL AND JUST WHAT I NEEDED. - Great USB stick and good value for money I used this to do a Clean Reboot Window 11 from Microsoft. Window 10 will be vased out after 25 October 2025. I got this so when I need to do a Clean Reboot on my PC then that means I will not longer need window 10 as I did the free upgrade to 24H2 now. The USB stick has still got a lot more space but got it just so I can keep a new Clean Reboot of Window 11. Good quality and plenty of free space left. I would recommend this USB stick as it comes in a nice wee box and it has a slide which means the connector is hidden when not in use. II like it may get some more for my games and my photos I got 128GB.
Review: Does the job well - I actually ordered this by mistake but kept it as it was fairly priced, it now sits in my desk drawer after being used as a system recovery driver for my pc. It helped me out of a hole and has a good 128Gb size for the light tasks you may need one for. I would recommend this.

I actually ordered this by mistake but kept it as it was fairly priced, it now sits in my desk drawer after being used as a system recovery driver for my pc. It helped me out of a hole and has a good 128Gb size for the light tasks you may need one for. I would recommend this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good size but seemingly low quality plastic
*by J***N on 13 December 2025*

Nice USB but low quality plastic. Everytime I unplug it, it feels like it could break. And I use it to transfer files from different devices so I’m gonna be plugging and unplugging it many times. Besides the durability, it has a decent size, okay writing speed, and it does get slightly warm but not that hot. I think it was like 15 pounds, so worth it for the price.
