Original Coupon Deal

Seems to be a good deal based on The Camelizer. Currently $192.95 on mwave and $122.74 on aliexpress before tax.

The all-metal, 2-in-1 flash drive with a reversible USB Type-C and a traditional Type-A connector.

I don't have one myself, so I can't comment on its speed or heat dissipation but it seems good if you need something small and portable with both USB type C and A. Bought this for a friend.

Seems like Write speed is 150 MB. Easy to return since its sold and shipped by Amazon if it dosent meet your standards anyways.

  • Why rhey cant make one with thunderbolt speed

    • +18

      The bottleneck isnt with the interface. These things get too hot to sustain usb 3 speeds let alone thunderbolt.

        @McMaferMur, @krisspy, @alanwake, @dufflover, @easternculture,

        Real-world-experience: iDSONIX-NVMe-case ~ 5 times the surface-area/size, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/16811413/redir

        Convenience (faster-speed, smaller-size, runs-hotter etc) is always a trade-off for longevity/reliability…heat-kills.

        There are drives that can do USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) speeds, ~ 1250 MB/s

        Feel free to share real-world-experience. Likely that special & expensive hardware &/or software is need to demonstrated this speed @ ideal-temp & SSD likely have a short-life.
        I've got ~ 200MB/s…not counting the time when speed drop in 0 & sometime more than 5s.

          Chuck on the ssd a heatsink

          • @easternculture: Mine came WITH heat-sink.

            The IT-industry (& many-otherS) has being fooling consumers for decade & will continue to-do-so, lol.
            People should FACT-check their-claims & see what's real-world-experience, lol.

      Because of the heat. It has to be bigger.

      There are drives that can do USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) speeds and some of them struggle to maintain full speeds (Kingston Data Traveller Max)…

  • +3

    Considering how warm and then sometimes flaky mine gets after that, not sure I'd want to trust it with 1TB worth of storage =/

  • +4

    That is an expensive USB.

    Also note to anyone who's into the amateur videography hobby where you save your log raw captures to external rather than internal, this is not it. The speeds are poor and the USB sometimes isn't even detectable.

  • Would this be suitable for storing uncompressed music files to be played in the car?

    • -1

      Lol any USB is fine for that

      • -1

        I have an antique USB A, 5MB, it can only can fit one song. I refuse to replace it with anything else.

    • How big is your collection? Probably better off with a cheapy 256GB stick - or few of them.

      • My other half told moaned at my use of a USB drive in the car. "Why can't you just listen to the radio like a normal person?" she said!

    • +1

      No, way overkill in speed and your car probably won't accept a drive as large as 1TB

      Just get a regular 128gb/256gb USB

      Most cars don't accept FLAC but will accept WMA so try encoding your audio into lossless WMA format as a test.

    Just get a 1TB ORICO K20Mini Magnetic External SSD 2000MB/s for approx $100 posted + 10% Ali CB and TCB rate.

    Mine stays attached to the phone case most of the time when i need to take pics and photos

    • It should work with Android too shouldn't it ?
      Because I saw it only ads for iPhone.

    • +5

      No shade, but it's hilarious that you've had to create this clumsy workaround because of Apple's decision not to include microSD card support.
      There aren't many flagships left that offer it, but it's a non-negotiable feature for me.

      • +2

        I use it with my s25 ultra. Its 512gb but ssd helps with longer videos then dump onto PC

      • +2

        Op doesn’t have an iPhone?

        • s/Apple/Samsung/

      • +3

        I've got an S24 as my first primary phone without an SD Card slot.

        Thought I'd get by without it, but as a hobbyist photographer and videographer, it's been massively inconvenient.

    • Far too many 1-star reviews saying people got scammed, would avoid unless you like taking risks.

      • +1

        They just saying they got sent 512gb instead of 1TB. 200sh reviews from 10000+ , so wouldnt say a scam, but error in logistics

        • +1

          Equally likely they just pressed buy then add to cart without changing from the default 512gb option, usually those reviews complaining they were sent the wrong thing have the choice they made underneath their name and they were sent what they chose.

      • Got 2 delivered, waiting for 2 more so its not a scam

    • Do they have 4T?

  • Probably goes down to $70 by November, Christmas sales.

  • Couldnt get one anymore at this price.

  • price has gone up.

  • -1

    One day you'll want to load large files onto it and the thing will get hot enough to burn you. I'd use it for small files only.
