Review on ๐Ÿ’พ VANSUNY 256GB USB C Flash Drive - Super Speed Solid State USB Drive (256G, Silver) - Dual Drive USB Type C Thumb Drive 350Mb/s USB 3.1 by Jason Martinez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Incredible value and performance, but with an odd caveat.

I really wanted to give this product 5 stars. The performance is superb and far exceeds that of a regular old USB drive due to the nature of the SSD. I can regularly hit 180MB/s for large file transfers, while most regular USB3 flash drives will struggle to hit 40MB/s. You can't find a faster USB drive in the $20/128GB price range. The maximum read/write speed is almost 400 MB/s, although in reality you will get much less, as is the case with all storage. Compatibility is also fantastic as the drive is recognized by all my Android devices and Windows computers with no issues. The inclusion of a USB-C port is very useful when you need to transfer files between mobile devices and desktop computers. The size is only slightly larger than the Sandisk Cruzer, but be aware that this can get in the way if you have multiple USB ports close together, such as a USB port. B. On the back of most motherboards. Another reviewer said that the drive he received was a fake with only 22GB of storage. I checked mine using the same program (h2testw) and confirmed that indeed all 128GB are working and not corrupted. The biggest problem and the reason I gave it one star is that this drive caused my desktop PC to shut down when it was online. USB ports on the back of the motherboard. The computer would not turn on until I cycled the power. I'm not 100% sure it's caused by the USB drive, but I've tried the same USB ports with several other USB drives and devices with no issues. If I insert this USB stick while the computer is off, it turns on normally and I can also eject the drive normally. However, the computer turns off as soon as this drive is reconnected. This leads me to conclude that something is wrong with the drive itself, but I can't be 100% sure as the other two computers didn't have this issue. If the manufacturer can provide an explanation for this issue, I will amend my review accordingly; If information is needed from my end to diagnose the problem, I can provide it as well.
