Who manufacturers the Amazon Basics USB Flash Drive?

Copilot said:

Amazon does not publicly disclose who manufactures its Amazon Basics USB flash drives, and the manufacturer can vary by model and production run. Amazon Basics is a private-label brand, meaning Amazon contracts with third-party OEM manufacturers to produce products under the Amazon Basics label rather than making them itself.

However, there are a few clues:

Some Amazon Basics flash drives have been reported as being manufactured in Taiwan.

Industry observers have noted that Amazon often sources private-label electronics from established OEM factories that may also manufacture products for other brands. Amazon does not publish a list of these suppliers.

The actual memory chips inside a given Amazon Basics flash drive could come from major flash-memory manufacturers such as Samsung, Kioxia (formerly Toshiba Memory), Western Digital/SanDisk, Micron, or SK Hynix, depending on the batch. I could not find a source that identifies a single consistent supplier for Amazon Basics USB drives.
If you have a specific Amazon Basics flash drive model number (for example, the 128 GB USB 3.1 retractable drive), I can help identify the controller chip and likely OEM by looking at the FCC filings, USB device IDs, or teardown information.
