Excellent CrystalMark speed on Dell's new laptop with USB-C and USB-A ports

CrystalMark 7 speed on a new (early 2020) Dell laptop. 128 MB Bought in October 2020 but only tested today. Haven't used them long enough to report durability. 1010MB/s Read 628MB/s USB C Write 3.2460MB/s Read 440MB/s USB A 3.2 Write. Gets pretty hot on long workloads, but my other branded USB sticks work for almost all cases. I will only use them to backup my daily work, so they are mostly incremental backups. I'm happy to recommend a product if it works well, otherwise I'd report it too. Reviews help me choose products, so I hope this review helps others.

Pros

COMPACT AND PORTABLE DESIGN: Ultra-thin aluminum alloy and plastic external SSD, very light at 22g, portable yet durable, fits in the palm of your hand and lets easily slip into your bag to take with you to work and travel. Round design perfect for keychain. You don't have to worry about losing it.
