    Thanks OP..I bought one even though I definitely do not need one and I have no idea what this brand is :-D but I bought it just because of the trouble you took on your description …well done and thank you ..that is cheap

    Don't forget that some SSD/flash technologies require being powered on every now and then. If it spent a year on the shelf don't be surprised getting your files corrupted and drive with a bunch of bad sectors. I'm not saying this particular drive is like that, but many are.

  • PlaunsJanus on 27/12/2024 - 01:56

    Is it safe to eject this device?

  • Haxxa on 27/12/2024 - 02:45

    I bought the 128GB model in 2014, it lasted 4 years in my case. Primarily used for OS installations (flashed regularly). So pretty decent.

  • chickendog on 27/12/2024 - 06:29

    But does it make stu stu noises?

    I bought a 1TB one on Temu for $5

      … which will undoubtedly be a fake capacity one.

        It shows as ~880gb on my PC

          They can fake those bro

          Write 500gb to it and then see if you can access it. Hell, write 100gb to it and see if it works and/or lasts.

        • mantra on 27/12/2024 - 12:53

          H2testw will show you real capacity by writing and verifying data

          any data written beyond real capacity will become corrupt

          linus video 1, 2

          be careful downloading software from web search, youtube or anywhere without caution as those may not be safe see this

      I thought you were joking…

      Most likely it's a fake capacity

    5 for $28.50 from Amazon AU https://www.amazon.com.au/PNY-Turbo-Attaché-Flash-5-Pack/dp/B08HW32VG6/

    And some bad reviews.

    • sav11 on 27/12/2024 - 16:51

      Those are only 32GB. The one in this deal is 256GB. It has more storage than those 5 combined & is much more convenient.

  • aussie mark on 27/12/2024 - 08:44

    4.6/5 from 2200 reviews. There's no pleasing some people.

    A 3/5 star review "Im going to have to hammer this open and hope it works,,cover doesnt come of… damn it slides back".

  • browser on 27/12/2024 - 11:10

    Not saying this is a better performing drive, but an example of good design: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07SYRW97F

    Solid state drives have no moving parts, but manufacturers add unnecessary sliding and swivel mechanisms to make it look cool. As if the USB-A connector needs protection from a flimsy plastic cover.

    And this PNY one has a cover that doesn't even prevent dust.

    105MBps/15MBps are still much faster than the average internet speed people have, compared to the download/upload speed.
