Hey everyone, I was just wondering if you had ever bought refurbished USBs and if they are reliable? There's a sale going on on NCIX and I was thinking about purchasing one, Thanks everyone!

EDIT: Flash Drives :P sorry everyone

I have never had a Flash drive break on me and i have really old flash drives.

Yeah, I've never had issues with used flash drives. 

 

However, they are usually so cheap these days that i don't really buy used ones very often. 

The one I'm looking at is the Corsair Flash Voyager Go, and is regularly fairly expensive. So I figured that getting it for about 60% isn't bad :P

It should work fine, never had issues with used USB's.

The time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time.
