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.

These are hit or miss with speed. I have bought two identical ones, same brand. One I use. The other sits in the drawer. They must use different internals depending on what they can get.

Buy the orico 2230 clear enclosure new from orico store on eBay. It's being sold for $12. It is small enough to be a keychain. I'm using nvme now for all of my backups. If your data is critical you probably want it backed up more than one time. I'm doing 4 backups. $40 gb for drives plus $12 for enclosure. $52 gets me all of my critical data backed up 4 times on the fastest mass market media on the market. It would take well over 24 hours to backup 1 TB to these flash drives. With nvme I'm done in an hour or less. What's your time worth?

In addition to slow speeds, the one I bought a month or so ago has issues being read by any device I put it in. After a few minutes it automatically disappears and can't be found. I have to manually remove and reinsert it to get it to work.

Call me crazy but not everyone would be using these like you're using them though. I might get something like this to just throw some random stuff on it to give away or just use it to deploy some firmware onto something real quick, maybe put games on it for some emulation stuff.
You can argue what you're doing isn't that great either since you can make a redundant array with all the SSD you're using and set up a fast network that would seamlessly and automatically back up everything for you, saving you the most time overall.

These particular 256gb PNY drives, as indicated by others, are slow and quickly die. I've bought two at different times, thinking I'd gotten a bad one initially. Nope. I've low level formatted them and tried with a variety of partitions but they inevitably fail whether they are used regularly or not. They are not even suitable to copy once and leave data on them long term as they seem to get corrupted by sitting on a desk. Not suitable for any purpose with the possible exclusion of a garish USB drive collage for a technology themed art project.

Offer him $40 for 4. He did the deal for me. Otherwise $12 is the ask.

For those that can't wait an extra 30-60 seconds? 😆

That would cost more than $50 for 4 backups. It's also prone to user/idiot error.

The only point I'm really making is flash drives are nearly obsolete in almost all circumstances given how cheap NVMe has gotten. This isn't really a comparison to raid or any other nas. If a quad nvme raid device were available for $10 I'd be all over it.
