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.
The drive can reach roughly 34 MB/s sequential write speed and sometimes speeds up during larger copies.
The drive can deliver strong sequential read performance around 145 MB/s in manual testing.
The drive can achieve about 10 to 15 MB/s when copying large MP3 collections in real use.
The drive feels solid and arrives in a secure box, which can help with handling during delivery.
The drive's sustained write speed can drop well below the listed 70 MB/s figure after caching fills.
Benchmark results can be misleading because bursty caching and inconsistent throughput can inflate peak numbers.
The coupon code may only apply to Orange, which can limit access to the advertised $14.49 price.
The drive's measured capacity can come in below the advertised 128GB, such as about 117.2 GB reported.

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
this is how i ended up with too many flashdrives

coupon doesn't apply
I'd imagine benchmarking software is smart enough to disable such buffering, but in my experience there is still a short period of high write speeds. Is this because the drive's controller can write to "clean"/fresh blocks at a higher speed?

For example, if you look at the CDM 4K random write results for a Seagate Exos and similar IronWolf Pro, the numbers for the Exos are over 5x that of the IWP. What CDM doesn't show is that the Exos can only do that for about 5 seconds, before dropping down to the same speed as the IWP.
Another problem is CDM can only test within the area its test files cover. I think the max size it supports is 64GiB. Even on that setting, random seek tests aren't going to be covering much of the drive. Also, on HDs, where the files land on the drive is going to impact sequential numbers greatly.
Yea I cant imagine buying a 128gb drive for more than $10 in 2026, but the dual ends seemed handy to me..
next test is hw2test to verify the whole drive..
I did buy the drive and between benchmarks and manual testing, I believe true sequential write speed is about 34 MBps, and I am happy enough with that for the price. Sequential read is about 145 MBps.
FWIW I have only used the USB A connector, and my PC does not have Gen2 ports.
my drive's capacity is 125,812,211,712 bytes, a bit short of the 128,000,000,000 advertised.
(drive manufacturers use "GB" to mean 1,000,000,000 bytes, whereas computers use "GB" to mean 2^30 bytes. sometimes you'll see them differentiated as "GB" and "GiB" but that really hasnt caught on much. So a 128GB drive with capacity of 128,000,000,000 bytes will have an "actual" capacity of 119.2 GB [or maybe I should say "GiB"]. But my drive falls short of that, with just 117.2 GB capacity.)
