I have one of these. The sliding mechanism eventually gives out and you're left with a flash drive that retracts when you try to plug it in from either side. You can still keep it from doing that by blocking the rail with a finger but still frustrating.
I have one of these, and it's a pain to use. They don't lock into place very well, so when you go to insert it into a USB port, the USB stick goes back into the casing. Stay away from this design in my opinion.

ya, I wish they'd just make it without the slide cover. I assume one could remove the slide cover after it stops working.

Can confirm. Mine is also doing this. The locking mechanism is way under designed.
I've had a few of these since ~2019, all continue to work fine and I do enjoy the mixed use capability for USB-A and USB-C device interoperability.. all seem to continue to work fine today, easy plug in and move between 2015, 2017 computers and 2019/2023 mostly USB-C machines. I don't use them DAILY, but weekly or monthly for sure. YMMV
P.s. I'd certainly ADD a 256GB when it falls below $20

Don't buy these for random performance or long transfers. Premium for the form factor and aesthetic, but not terribly expensive right now.
