You'll be lucky to get USB2 speeds with this. They overheat quickly and speed throttles to an absolute crawl. Really not worth it.
Usb2 doesn't really matter as these cheap drives are not limited but the usb speed.
For $2 more, faster, more storage…
SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go USB Type-C & Type-A Flash Drive 128GB
($44 @JB) Use JB Price Match to $17 & sign up for JB Perks for $10 off code (using new email & mobile #)
Bought 2 today @$7ea - easyHow did you use the sign up code twice? Did you create 2 accounts?
2 new Perks accounts (regularly SIM hop, so plenty of free or cheap SIMs with never used numbers to receive code)
2 price match in 1 chat
these are cheap and generally reliable. For carrying around small files, like printing docs at officeworks, they are more than enough.
Lulz at the people who didn't grow up with floppy disks
3.5" (720KB) or earlier very floppy 5.25" (360KB)?😂
While a student & IT staff trainer at Uni in late '80s - used both. Not a convenient storage method.
As individual teaching lab computers had no storage (no hard drive & not networked), students kept losing their work.
Installed screen saver on each - reminding to back up to floppies!
Some still lost their assignments…Just threw out lots of CD-ROMs. No longer have optical drive to read/write that old storage & software distribution method.
Replaced long ago by fast internet.The evolution in data storage!
And how about zip drives…
Far too modern for me. Good for large file storage from mid-90's. Never used them.
I started out with punched computer cards & paper tape for storage!!
@CyberMurning: Tell the young… They won't believe you😂
Stored machine code to audio tape when building microprocessors. Way back!
@CyberMurning: microfiche… Now thats going right back - predigital.
No - stored digital programs onto audio cassette on ordinary tape recorder. Via home made interface. Sounded like a dial-up modem.
As microprocessor only had RAM memory, program needed to be stored & reinstalled with every use. Laborious!In my early schooling here - we wrote with stone on slates. Real stone age technology! Was common in schools for early education.
Lectured in writing using computers… A long way from scratching letters on stone slates!
The one reason I keep some 32GB USBs is for BIOS upgrades. Windows doesn't want to format bigger USBs to the format BIOSs demand.
Another reason for me is to use in car audio which wouldn't recognise anything other than FAT32. My car is a bit old so don't know if newer car models recognise NTFS.
if you're looking for more than one - the 3-pack and 5-pack works out cheaper than $5 ea and it's available every day

USB 2 is a deal breaker even at this low price
