INLAND Micro Center Super Speed 256GB Type-C USB 3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1 Mini Flash Drive Memory Stick Thumb Drive (Single Pack)

Trouble free back up for iMac (needs 2X stated HD size for iTime b/u), tiny red status light, runs cool

I use this on a daily basis at my job running medicat usb, via ventoy and using portable snappy driver installer (iykyk) fully updated. And it hasn’t missed a beat yet may not be the fastest, but it’s definitely not the slowest and probably the most consistent brand of USB thumb drives that I have ever used.

Great inexpensive smallish 3.2 flash drives

Arrived on time and works as expected. The smaller size is a plus.

Left in pocket, went through washer and dryer and it still works without issue. Happy about that. I don't like how slow it is. 120mb/s is slow. Another plus is it's made is Taiwan

I had a spare 2.5” 512Gb hard drive that I pulled from my 2012 laptop that I used to walk around with in a seagate enclosure to copy work to; it had this cable and it took a long time to copy over date. Recently upgraded my main rig to NVMe and SSDs and I was thinking of a way to have really portable, fast on-the-go storage. Bought a Samsung 256Gb and wanted something bigger that wouldn’t be too expensive. Landed on this. Relative to my old portable mechanical hard drive, this is way faster and way more portable. Definitely recommend the biggest option you can get as it’s worth it. Got it for $29 and change before taxes.

I just received this drive last night. I bought this drive for its size and price to put some data on for travel, on a vacation that I am going on. I researched various drives and found this drive. It claims that it is USB-C 3.1, 256GB and Made In Taiwan, which are all good signs. The drive is nice, small and light. The USB-C connector came slightly bent, so it sticks out of my computer at an angle. This USB-C drive can only be plugged in 1 way!!! I tried this on multiple computers. If you flip the drive over and insert (which you can do with USB-C), you will get an error that the drive can't be recognized (see picture). I went to copy some data which is various PDF files and some video files, and the copy speed is the slowest I have seen in decades! You can copy to a USB 2.0 spinning drive faster than this thumb drive that is supposed to be 3.1. I did try to run a speed test on it to post here but 3/4 of the way through the test, I got an error that it lost connection to the drive for some odd reason. I know that this drive was not expensive, but it wouldn't be worth a dollar if it was sold at the dollar tree. Complete junk and a waste of time. Read/Write speeds comparable to a floppy. Useless USB-C connector because it still can only be plugged in one way. I did try on multiple computers to verify, it is junk. I'm going to return it. I hope this helps someone from going through the same trouble.

The memory stick works just fine. My only issue is the USB-C ports on all my devices. For the PC, I have to unplug some nearby cables for this drive to have enough clearance to fit in the port. I have to remove the power cord for this drive to have enough clearance on my laptop. And on my phone, I have to remove the case for this to fit inside the port. It seems too much of a hassle for this drive to be convenient. I probably would have skipped this had I thought of these issues before making the purchase.
