You would want a microsd card. Less places for corrosion issues, only the contacts which can be cleaned relatively easily.
Go with a pink lunchbox just to be safe.
Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith, is that you?
Just bury your friend in the backyard instead.
You want to retain information for a long time? Flash memory is probably not the way. It relies on electrons not leaking from an insulated portion of a transistor.
Better to store it on a magnetic disk, or optical disc (but only if you keep it away from sunlight which is well known for damaging the writable layer), and then bury it deep where it will be less susceptible to magnetic/cosmic/sunlight rays.
If you buried this particular model, you'd have a hangi in no time due to the heat produced
64gb oss
Great deal, got one for each room to save heating cost
Nice one
High speed USB3.1. my ass. I have the 64gb one and maximum speed is about 40MBs.
Well that's a bit misleading then. Are you sure it's not your USB ports that are slow or something? What software have you used to test out the max speed?
Basing that off file-transfer speed isn't necessarily accurate as transferring multiple smaller files is MUCH slower than transferring one big file (Better way to test speed without additional software)
Tried a few different USB-C computer including my Gaming laptop. It's slow and heat up so bad that you could get burn if you hold it too long while it's plugged in.
Sheesh alright… I guess that's why these are so cheap then :)
USB3.1 gen 1 or gen 2? cause its a big difference. heavens USB naming convention is horrible.
edit its gen 1.
LOL too true
?
USB IS the universal serial bus standard.
There's probably a more appropriate xkcd for naming conventions, but there is most certainly value in different versions of usb.
Gen 2 is 2gen 1 speed
Gen 2x2 is 4gen 1 speed
Whoops, accidental formatting.
Meant to say:
Gen 2 is 2 * gen 1 speed
Gen 2x2 is 4 * gen 1 speed
actually gave me a out loud laugh.
thanks for that OP
Really doesn't matter as this drive probably doesn't max USB3 speed anyway. Cheap flash drives are not what you buy when you're after fast transfer speed.
No stocks!
It has been at this price for probably at least a year now.
Still plenty of stock instores.

Runs very hot and very slow.
That's my attempt at exercise
I have the 64GB version, file copy sustained writes start at 25-30MB/s and drop to around 15 after the cache is full.
Copying a 5.87GB file averaged 16.36MB/sec
Read speeds can get up to around 150MB/sec
Got one of these a few years ago and it has horrible heat problems and would burn through my iPad battery like nothing else. 0/5 stars
Not recommended. Runs very hot
They're cheap and good for quick transfers like OTG transfers from phone to laptop etc
But I would never use them as a primary usb. They run way too hot..
This deal is on fire

Would this be good to bury in backyard…. asking for a friend
