This cheap dual thumb drive is back but even lower price this time. Perfect for Linux ISO’s, and I mean this quite literally as I use them for bootable images of Linux or windows.

Idk what else people use these for but let the hoarder inside you free. And let me know so I have more use cases for my hoarder slow USB drives.

3 per customer limit.

    Slow write again. No deal :(

    • +3

      Slow? duk242 managed to get 91MiB/s write and mine are pretty much the same. If you want slow then check out the Verbatim V3 for $4.95

      • Amazon buyers posted 14mb/s. Probably different batches made on different components. I would buy something with above 80 mb/s write for this price if it was guaranteed.

          There was a whole discussion about that in the last deal. They probably stuck it in a USB 2.0 port. It's a common issue.

          • @Clear: USB 2.0 wouldn't show read speed above 100 mb/s.

            • @Ozzster: Ok found the review and it's on a Mac. If it's formatted as exFAT on a Mac, then yes you can get really slow write speeds. Typically you'll want to format as APFS.

              Of course it's always possible that there was a different batch. Ideally your best bet is getting a portable SSD with a Techpowerup listing, so you know if there's mixed batches with inferior flash. Since the sustained writes with something like DRAMless QLC will drop hard.

              • @Clear: portable ssd is bigger, pricier, needs a cable, and in theory may overheat. So better have both for different tasks.

                • @Ozzster: You can get flash drive sized ones.

        • What? 64GB USB flash drives with over 80MB/s write speed for $8? Can you please tell us where have you seen such a deal before?

          • @edfoo: I haven't. What made you think I have?

            • @Ozzster: Because you said above you would buy something with above 80MB/s write for this price, so that's why I ask you where can you find such a deal? I have not seen one flash drive with that write speed at such low price, you must be dreaming.

              BTW I received my two earlier today. Ran the CrystalDiskMark benchtest with the USB-C port, it shows:
              Sequential read speed 162MB/s
              Sequential write speed 49MB/s
              Random small file read speed 13MB/s
              Random small file write speed 2MB/s

              • @edfoo: Sorry for abrupt eyeopening, but 'would buy' and 'I have seen' have very different meaning.

                • @Ozzster: So that means you are just dreaming.

                  • @edfoo: you better google meaning of words before using them. I still would buy something with above 80 mb/s write for this price, and I'm okay to wait.

                    • @Ozzster: So there is no such deal and you are just dreaming about one.

                      • @edfoo: Similar deals keep coming, and there will be more. Rarely someone posts actual write speeds, so knowing my requirements someone may point me on the right one. Having requirements is wrong, or what are you inclining?

                        • @Ozzster: It's like you are wishing for a BMW M3 performance model for under $100K brand new driveaway. I am just saying you are dreaming at the moment.

                          • @edfoo: DAMN, are you guys still going, just kiss already!

                          • @edfoo: Google what dreaming is, mate.

    Last round $2 more for 2x the storage.

    • Yes that was a deal!

      I got 3. They're great for what they are. People complain about the speeds, but they're fine.

    how to boot windows on usb? it doesn’t work

    • +1

      Did you set the pc to boot off the usb in the bios?

      • -1

        I’m referring to running windows from a usb device, not installing

        • -1

          Can you board support running off a usb?

        • Which would require booting from said usb…

  • +4

    have read of this too: https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html

    great little tool that makes booting from multiple images a breeze. You will need to adjust bios to boot from the usb device.

      Ventoy is a great tool, but it's got a few binary blobs that are a little concerning from a security perspective (more just fear of the unknown than any actual evidence of wrongdoing).

      • thanks - i'd not heard about this until your post. Did some reading and went down a rabbit hole :)

        https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/3224

        this seems to be useful and hopefully will eventually lead to some form of validation those blobs are indeed 'harmless', or removal of the reliance on them

    It's showing $12.99 for me. Is the deal already over?

    • Yep…. But still decent at that price.
