I was so mad when I found out they make usb-c cables that only do usb 2.0 speed. For the longest time I figured they had to be at least as fast as the fastest usb-a cables, but no. Now I have a whole drawer of "what is this usb-c cable good for?"

Community Reviews

This ORICO 128GB USB C flash drive is mainly a budget dual end drive for everyday file transfers, with read speeds around 145 to 150 MB/s and write speeds that settle closer to the 34 to 55 MB/s range in real use. It feels solid, comes in a secure box, and the dual connectors are handy. The main drawbacks are that 150 MB/s is slow for USB C expectations, large transfers can drag, and the coupon appears to work only on Orange. One capacity check also came in short of the advertised size.

Common Questions (4)

  • The 70 MB/s write figure appears to be a burst or peak number, not a guaranteed sustained rate. Real-world reports put sequential writes around 34 MB/s on large transfers, with some copies averaging about 39 MB/s and others dropping to 10-15 MB/s for long MP3 transfers.

  • It is fine for general file carrying and occasional transfers, but it is slow for frequent large copies. The 150 MB/s read speed is believable, while the write speed is the limiting factor, so it suits light use better than moving huge datasets regularly.

    NickB3364AtomicrobotCleoThyme

  • The coupon code appears to work only for the Orange version. That can limit who can get the $14.49 price.

    StaticSun

  • The drive may come in a little under the advertised 128,000,000,000 bytes. One reported unit measured 125,812,211,712 bytes, which is about 117.2 GiB in computer terms.

Giving it a shot at this price. Coupon code only works for Orange, apparently.

It's probably fine. 150MB/s isn't fast though. USB 3.0 aka USB 3.2 Gen1 maxes out at 650 MB/s and that's not exclusive to USB-C. People probably just (rightly) expect that a USB-C drive of any kind should be at least that fast even if it isn't 10/20/40Gbps

I agree that 150MB/s is on the slow end, but this would be great for general use as long as you're not trying to transfer 120gb of data back and forth all the time.

The difference between 5 seconds and 30 seconds for 4gb of files is probably worth the trade-off for a dual-end flash drive at this price point.

If you think that's bad I can do you one better. There are "charge only" USB cables that don't support data transfer at all. They frequently come with cheap rechargeable devices. 30-40 MB/s is slow, but it still lets you copy media off of a camera or update firmware. It's terrible when traveling and you realize it doesn't have the functionality at all.

Quick tip: "Metallic" Sharpies can normally write on smooth plastic like USB connectors. If I find out what wattage and/or speed a USB cable supports, I try to write it on the connector. It seems to wear off pretty easily. But for cables gathering dust, it helps future you stay sane.

hard to tell what kind of sustained write speeds this thing can do. reads being 150 MB/s is believable, even cheap drives have pretty good read speeds. it's writing that differentiates drives. I see the listing claims 70 MB/s but doubt that is sustained write speed, more likley the burst max speed you might see when copying only a small amount of data. This is because the drive, especially if mostly empty, can cache data in either a dedicated cache or by writing only to a single layer of each cell (SLC caching).

some reviews have screenshots of CrystalDiskMark but most are only a 1GB test which is close to worthless. the drive may write at 80MB/s for 1GB but slow to a tenth of that once the cache fills.

a couple reviews seem to indicate sustained writes are actually decent enough, one claiming 25MB/s for the 32gb variant when tested with F3.
another showed 80-90 MB/s with CrystalDiskMark on the 64gb variant but the test was only 8GB (much better than 1GB but still skewed by caching).
another showed 58 MBps write with H2testw across the whole drive, again the 64gb variant.

but there are a couple reviews claiming truly abysmal write speeds, though these could be due to the nature of the data being written (EG many small files).

might give it a shot, amazon returns are pretty easy after all

I just live in 2025 and this still seems like a crappy deal. Looking at a string of 400mb/s 256GB Samsung drives for $25 on Woot, of course wishing I had bought one when I didn't need it.

Falls under "if you need one today, it's a good deal"

There's use cases for charge only, like if you don't trust a that you are charging from or something. But there's no use case where you'd want USB 2.0 speeds over USB 3.2g1+ speeds.
