Best USB Drive?

Literally have been looking online for USB 3.0 drives for about an hour for a good quality one. Every single one above 32GB has negative reviews about high temps, mechanisms not working, and all these other problems about it dying in a month. Are flash drives like OCing a CPU as in you don't know what you're going to get? Or are there actual quality ones that I haven't seen yet.

There are actual quality ones (where have you been looking?)

 

I do know that a lot of electronics stores have been doing cheap 16GB and 32GB USB 3.0 drives.

 

And seriously, if you need USB 3.0, get an external HDD. Use USB 2.0 for drives right now, the speed is just fine.

Sandisk USB drives are build for fast transfer rates

 

I got a box load of them

 

SD cards and USB 3.0 Ultra series

 

In fact I got the 256GB version of the Ultra USB 3.0

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.
