I did a sustained write test on a USB flash drive 10 yrs ago and it died much quicker than expected. It's unlikely that it was doing proper wear leveling. Where are your sources that 20 yr old flash...

I don't think ANY usb flash sticks do wear leveling. I would love to be proven wrong though.

This drive was $4.50 a little over a month ago. I guess $11 now a still a slick deal? EDIT: nevermind. it was the 32G model that was 4.50. I guess this is pretty slick after all.

That's BS. Wear leveling are introduced as soon as flash memory supports random write (as oppose to linear write). Some wear leveling maybe better than the others but they all work. Even compact...

They're all low quality flash to begin with, but that isn't the reason they die quickly. Even high quality flash dies quickly without wear leveling. Individual flash cells can't sustain many...

Flash drives at these bargain bin price points don't do wear leveling. That means one cell can get hammered from repeated writes while others get little to no writes. A single bad cell can render the...

Just opened the 32G version today, and after reformating to get rid of their junk files. Dropped a 20G file with 2300 music files and it stalled out at 16G. After reformating it won't even move 40...

I had this drive. Died after a year and became readonly. Speeds were mediocre. I was surprised it died b/c it didn't overheat lke the Sandisk crap. Samsung Fit is my go-to.

Exactly my experience with this drive. The burst speed is good for a couple of seconds, then it's back down to 0MB/s for much longer than the burst speed. In all, the average speed is slow.

Have 4 of these configured in a ZFS pool, serving as NFS mount and Samba share for movies and music. Did not try it on crappy filesystems such as Windows NTFS etc.

I bought during the last sale. Performance is pretty abysmal. The drive can do > 100 MB/s for a few seconds but then the IOPs drop to zero for many seconds at a time. Attached is a graph of 1MB...
