Very neat seeing how far flash media has come. Just tested my trusty old SanDisk 64GB Extreme USB 3.0 drive that's probably a decade old now, and it only gets 190-260 MB/s. TBF, I think that's perfectly adequate for my use-case. Only quibble I have with this drive, other than the bulk, is that it doesn't seem to have a lanyard loop. I might be inclined to agree on USB Type-C, but I feel like Type-A connectors are still most common in the world on desktop and slim client PCs, so I'm not super bothered by that decision. Though perhaps it could have included a matching 10Gb A-to-C adapter in the cap.
I am a little bit non-plused. I have a sack full of old (and new) USB (thumb) drives laying around. And I have several old HDDs and SATA SSDs in external USB cases. I just don't have the "need for speed" transferring data from my PC to an external drive. (or vise-versa) Great explanation. I have seen these USB SSD drives on the shelf. But I did not rush out to get one.
It's tough to find the exact TBW/DWPD on this as the drive is an OEM/bare label version of the original drive. So, they are not required to publish it. It is not QLC and the performance cannot exceed 1GB/s, so this drive should be fine in terms of durability
n96 what do you need 1tb thumb drive for that all the other technologies cannot do? All I am saying is that thing is a security vulnerablity. At least back in the day you could see a large 2.5 inch portable drive and the required cable.
