Yes, they are 2.0, but $3.50 for a couple of 32gb flash drives from a major manufacturer seems like a good deal if you don't have the need for speed. Shipped and sold by Amazon.

I've never had a PNY flash drive live past a couple of years but all my sandisk are still going strong.
Trust me, you'll never use these. If you ever do, you'll hate yourself for wasting money on junk like this because file transfer is so slow by today's standards. USB 2.0 is actually not the bottleneck.

There's a more modern 256GB Sandisk model that goes in and out of stock regularly for $12.49. Seems to be the sweet spot currently on flash storage/price.

I use flash drives a lot, with moderate writing and extremely heavy read cycles several times a day, 5-6 days a week, every week. Still have PNY , Samsung and ADATA Pro rom 5-7 years ago. Sandisk though, absolute unreliable junk that will randomly decide to lockup and block write access. A few drives also denied read access. Once it happens, they are toast. I've tried multiple models and grades of SanDisk. Same story.
I've bought the 16 and 32 GB sizes of these. Decent prices, especially in their multi-packs, but they are the slowest drives—read and write—I've seen in a decade-plus. Have had one fail on me so far; I lose or give them away at a far higher rate, which is their most suitable purpose.

Totally agree - people these HP 64GB FDs are $6 each and USB 3.0 - way better move if you don't want to suffer horrid transfer speeds.

For my purpose and certain uses, cheap is the keyword and Sandisk definitely isn't usually cheap. To each his own.

In for 2 32GB for $7.

I will say that very old drives like your sub-1GB could be using NAND that has better write endurance and data retention than the newer NAND.
