These USB drives are super slow. Definitely not recommend.

Just purchased 4 new 256gb NVMe 2230 drives on ebay for $10 each pulled from laptops and steam decks. this is the correct solution today. A 2230 enclosure for $10-12 plus 2230 NVMe. $6-7 for 128gb $10-14 for 256. You can verify on Crystal disk that eBay is in fact selling 0 hour nvme. Speed will be 20-30x faster than this solution. Real world transfer speeds of 300-500MB/s.

You are definitely right that those are much faster but the downside is they are much bigger physically, as well as much more expensive overall to implement. I havent found a decent 2230 enclosure for less than $18, so even adding a very cheap drive means the cost is about 3x what this deal offers. If you're using the drive to constantly load/unload then yeah you will save tons of time getting a faster setup, but if youre just storing a temporary backup of work files or stuff like that, this usb does just fine.

Thank you! Can you recommend any specific enclosure?

I've had the 32GB version of this for years and years. Still use it regularly. Only complaint is that the housing is a bit tight and so it's getting a little tricky to actually push it back into the case. Might just start leaving it out. But it's been a workhorse for me and has never lost any data.

Big drive for the price.
Worst memory you can buy for any price. I've had a lot of flash drives in the past 10 years, and no brand has proven to be less reliable than PNY. Expect maybe 1-2 years before it fails.

The upside is, when they fail, they usually switch to "read-only" mode before they fail entirely. That's the silver lining.

I have a couple of these from a couple years back and they are slooooowww. Like frustrating slow where I just put stuff on them as a third layer backup so I don't accidentally use them for anything else anymore.

FYI there are ways to reset/wipe SMART data from SSD's.

I have a 64Gb version of this. The data gets corrupted on it often when updating firmware in a car MMI drive. I stopped using it for that. OK for holding/accessing normal files.

I bought a five pack of these and they have all failed without warning. The amount of usage seems to not have any bearing on reliability. They actually go bad not doing anything at all. As others have mentioned, PNY makes the absolute worst memory you can buy. Stay away and avoid this brand at all costs.

Last time I bought one of these was back in April 2022 when Amazon was holding a promo where you could get $10 off your order if you shipped the item to one of their hub lockers. Ended up paying $14 for mine in total at the time. Looks like I might be in for another one.

10 times faster than 1 MB/sec is still 10 MB/sec or slower
