Review on TEAMGROUP C183 Triple Pack 16GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 πŸ’Ύ (3.1/3.0) Flash Drive, Black - External Data Storage Memory Stick for Computer/Laptop by William Santos

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good performance (221MB/s read, 96MB/s write), useful all-in-one USB flash drive

something I would find useful so I got it fetched. Fit and Finish: This thing feels tough. It doesn't have any manufacturing seams so I'm assuming the case is molded first and the USB/Flash portion of the device is inserted into the case and glued. Pros: I love the mini line and find what is most useful. It's tough and likely to fail. Additionally, the profile of the device is 4.53mm, so any ports above or below can be used with ease. The magnet and the cutter are also good. I'm not sure I'll ever use a bottle opener. Cons: None in this price range. If I had to be picky, the magnet is about 15mm from the tip. I suppose you can use it to hold loose screws while you're working on something, but it's not practical for catching wayward screws in tight spaces. Also, the device is 17.9mm wide and could benefit from being a bit narrower so as not to compete for space on adjacent ports. Performance: With USB3 I get 221 MB/s read (with ATTO) and 96 MB/s write, peak, with 64 MB write segments. On 4K segments I get 25MB/s writing and about 1.4MB/s reading. Nothing extraordinary, but decent.

Pros
  • Best in the niche
Cons
  • Very expensive
