There a comments that the write performance is fairly bad for these. (if that matters to you) https://www.reddit.com/r/bapcsalescanada/comments/10lwazi/fl…
that feedback is crazy on a product that is literally called 'Supersonic Rage', haha
I’m avoiding USB-A only devices now.
Can I ask why?
I'm not gonna bite or anything, I'm just curious. For me, I hate when things are C only. Everything of mine still takes A (usually with an option of C as well), but the missus' MacBook is C only and it does piss her off needing a dongle every now and then.
'usb-a only' may refer to devices that support both c and a eg https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/sandisk-64…
In my case I mean “a only” doesn’t have a USB-C connector at all. The drive you linked to are, as titled, dual drives.
@try2bhelpful: sorry you're right i misspoke - i meant to provide an example of something that's not just c only but also not a only
@lachlantula: No probs. The dual option are probably the best at the moment if people want to cover the old to new transition period.
You can get memory sticks now that have both USB-C and USB-A connectors. In our case our Apple devices are USB-C. We already have some older memory sticks that are USB-A.
We bought a twin pack of 128Gb Lexar memory sticks from Costco Docklands today for $30.

Or buy MicroSD and adapters for any USB. It works for cellphones and cameras too.
Get a adaptor c to usb a,solves the problem
It's the opposite for me, everything of mine has USB C with some having USB A. My phones are a prime example. USB C device's can plug into anything I own. But USB A device is limited to my laptop and desktop.
But I still prefer getting pendrives with both USB A and C. Some not everyone's switched over.
Most of mine failed, wont buy again
I've been through over 200 of these, had one fail so far :)
Got a pack of 5 and had 4 fail… but possibly batch dependent?
did you get warranty and replace or refund etc?
Need some space?
no but thanks for asking
Mine have been good. But prices have been static for years now. I had hoped to see them drop.
Given inflation … they have! :P
Digital storage!
Not on sale
128gb 5 pack is cheaper per gbNot sure this is Ozbargain worthy
I have bought 30 of these and use them for Windows installs so my use case is mostly read only, I have not had a single drive fail. I have been impressed with the read speeds for my Windows installs.
USB stick era is long gone, let alone USB-A only.
You can buy:
- UGREEN ( one of the best brand IHMO ) SSD case: $14.96 —- Right now at AMZ
- SSD Crucial BX500 500G: $44.00
Marry them together and you have an USB storage.
Sure, $26.47 more but %600+ more space, faster, more reliable.I went a bit further and only use NVMe storage with NVMe USB-c storage now, the speed is well worth the money IMHO.
SSD + case only for devices with old techs ( it won't read NVMe storage ) like my 4K blu-ray.put internal ssd into case? that'll make the portable ssd seller envy..
I've been doing this for decade, it's a lot cheaper than buying "proprietary" ones.
Firstly, you cannot guarantee the quality of the case they use, for my NVMe for instance, I use cases with good quality microcontroller, otherwise, the writing performance will be dogsh1t.
Plus, they are using the latest USB-c speed up to 40Gbps or transferring 25GB blu-ray per second assuming your computer USB-c does support that but you got the idea.Secondly, the SSD are mostly Chineseum, I buy the ones I judge good quality.
Last but not least, the cases allow you to install heat pads, good ones while proprietary ones have almost none to garbage ones.
All of this sounds bs but when we are talking about data, writing speed, compatibility, this is the way.
I agree that USB-A is aging, much like Micro-USB, yet many devices still ship with these ports. Apple led the charge in removing USB-A in 2021, but plenty of solid devices in production still rely on it.
When managing fleets of 100–1,000+ devices with a 5+ year lifecycle, you don’t drop a perfectly functional technology—especially for low-data-rate peripherals like keyboards and mice—just because some users need high-speed SSDs.
USB-A remains widely used in enterprise, industrial, and embedded systems, and even USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB-A) supports 5Gbps speeds, which is plenty for most use cases. Transitioning takes time, and for many, USB-A is still relevant.
Yup, I agree with that.
For end user tho, their era is gone.
I don't buy anything anymore that isn't USB-c, I can use the very same Ugreen GaN to charge everything, from basic devices to laptop, all via USB-c cable.
Is it fast enough to run 4k videos for those who plug and play on the TV? The description doesn't bother to mention the speed lol.
Might be a good gift idea for passing through pirated movies around family and friends if you them off the line.
Never paste 2 files (1 at a time) simultaneously. It struggles to do multitask. Reading 4k movies is ok.
I've found these good, some others posted they had some failures last time this deal came around.
