Great value no-frills memory stick
5 out of 5 stars
Great value no-frills memory stick
Very pleased with this as a low cost, moderately sized storage stick. I paid £17.41 for the 256GB version. It's somewhat no-frills in that the form factor is nothing special: the casing is made of plastic and there's a tab on it that you push to make the connector pop out. It's a little bit chunky when compared to some sticks that have a footprint similar to a USB-A socket, so for example when connecting it to a PS4 pro or steam deck dock I use an adapter. The listed 130MB/s read speed is accurate. Write speed is slower, but not as bad as the CrystalDiskMark results indicate. When transferring a 2GB video file across it sat around 50MB/s for most of the write. When filling the entire stick with H2testw the average write speed was about 34MB/s, with reads of about 130MB/s. Note that it comes formatted as FAT32 by default for maximum compatibility so will not allow files larger than 4GB but can easily be reformatted to exFAT which removes this limitation and will work with the vast majority of modern operating systems.

I'm very pleased with the performance of this USB stick. I needed a large capacity drive to send a number of high-resolution images and large video files to someone not into loading stuff into cloud storage or sending P2P. This device works well, being relatively low cost and fast enough for me. I'm using a PC without USB C, so USB 3 was required, although the device might be better if it had both connections like some competitor products. It's great for file transfer and secondary storage, although I wouldn't use it as a primary backup. It also has a loop for attaching a lanyard or something else to help prevent it getting mislaid.

Nice and simple, a retractable flash drive in a protective case with a loop for a lanyard if required.
256Gb rated capacity but it’s really only about 231Gb, though this is plenty for my needs as anything put on here will fairly quickly be transferred to larger storage at home or in the Cloud.
USB 3, so it’s pretty quick as well.

I was using a 15gb usb stick for my main photo frame. There was a time when 15gb seemed like a lot. With the size of the files my camera produces 15gb holds about 750 photos. I bought this for the size and the price. The reviews helped. It took me about 16 hours to load over 7500 photos. The files loaded smoothly, the playback works well. Very happy with this purchase.
