Ah secret santa thanks
Why not pay $31.62for double the storage?
Why not Zoidberg?
have one, it run hot
my hot ex-gf also ran (away) from me…..
Might just be the better thermal conductivity. I just ran a quick simple test, nothing conclusive, but it doesn't seem to use any more power in idle than a regular plastic case usb stick. Both were about 0.15 - 0.2 watts
But for the record, mine gets hot too when I leave it attached to the media player.
Okay I did a bit of a longer test in case there were intermittent periods of higher use, and these things do use a bit more power in idle.
Sandisk extreme - ~125mW
64gb - ~220mW
128gb - ~160mW
wow lonnggg time ago i bought my first ever 8GB usb stick for $50
My first 1GB USB Flash Drive was $99…
Think I bought my first 128MB USB for similar too~$100. Was using Iomega's zip drive for 100MB before that which I thought was already amazing x100 more than floppy disks!
Real speeds, especially write speed?
I just tested the 64GB version of them.

Did a 32GB test just to ensure accuracy. 4KB write fell off a cliff.

So avoid these?
@ozilicious: Depends on the use case. I'll be using them for flashing images to devices, so read speeds is all that I need. The metal body is I wanted from it too.
When I was looking at these 3 years ago, the 64gb version was known to be quite a lot worse than the 128gb and above
@outlander: Yes the 256GB seems to go up to ~60MB/s for writes, still not great, but not bad either. https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/8773/samsung-bar-plus-256g…
@AdosHouse: Got it thank you
do these have activity lights? i miss those 😢
got these PNY 128GB Turbo for USD$35 deals back in 2014 with x2 128GB & x1 64GB still going strong
Perfect KK idea at that price
