When I got a cheap-ass USB stick by the brand Medion in 2015 (64GB USB 3.0 for €15), I did not expect to store data for a long time on it.

But the Hama USB stick from 2015? I have already posted about where that went (vid8).

But a few things to add:

That cheap Medion USB stick not only has 100% data integrity after six years, but also is 140 MB/s fast! That crappy Hama, at around the same price, only had 30 MB/s at most (about a fifth!), and also, as already said, lost data within months.

Unbelievable.

The consensus that Hama flash storage is garbage is huge, with only one strange exception. And yet they sell it at similarities prices. That's called a scam.

Their other products appear fine. But their flash storage? They better check their supplier.

My medion camera is long dead from a motorcycle crash, but the sd card lives on.

This is why expandable storage is beneficial, also in mobile phones.
