Same deal as a couple of weeks ago:
https://www.newegg.com/team-model...6820331705

3 drives for 4.50 each:

If you only need 8Gb for system drives, get these ones. They cost the same! Here is the earlier Slickdeals discussion:

USB2 maxes out at ~26 MB/s. These drives can do 19./7.5 MB/s R/W (my test of a 32GB version). So USB2 speed is plenty! For something like Windows install USB, or similar, the speed does not matter that much.

They probably use the old cheap controllers, and the lowest grade flash which is slow.

Those speeds you got are irrelevant to say if the USB 2.0 controller is bottlenecking or not. Since you can't physically test the NAND flash and have to go through the controller and you are using theoretical "perfect world" standards for USB 2.0 transfer speeds it means nothing. Unless you want to desolder the NAND flash and put it on a USB 3.0 controller to test if that is the real speed then my statement stands. The argument that the NAND in these drives is so cheap that it makes no difference between a USB 2.0 and 3.0 controller is circa 2011.

26 MB/s is the actual USB2 speed one gets during file transfers, not theoretical. Theoretical is 480 Mb/s which would be 60 MB/s. If the controller was bottle-necking, would not you get identical read&write speeds at ~ 20 MB/s?

Lots of these drives fail on the 2nd write. This seems to indicate the flash memory quality is 1 step above the garbage. But for write once applications that might be enough Smilie
