[Amazon.ca] Patriot Supersonic Rage Lite USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive - 256GB - $19.99

Was waiting for it to come back in stock because everyone bought multiple last time and I missed it.
It's now back, at a dollar or two cheaper than before.
Decently fast and high storage. Around 140mb/80mb Read/Write

Shouldn’t we be looking at usb c drives now? I mean this is good but shouldn’t usb c provide faster speed?

Not everybody has a Macbook Air yet. USB-A is much more versatile and widely available.

Thanks, OP.

Aw crapAAPL, they got rid of the USB-A's? They usually set douchey industry trends. At least the Mac Minis still have 'em, which I'm only buying for development reasons, cuz ... I'll probably get modded again if I explain. But you look like you know what's up anyway.

Yeah, use-case for these sticks is to jam them up foreign computers to either inject or extract data. USB-C is not nearly as ubiquitous just yet, especially if you work with institutions (if they hadn't yet banned sticking foreign sticks into their machines).

True, but a lot of people are still using old devices or desktops. I am still using an old ThinkPad X230 which beats out most Chomebooks with USB-C equiped devices because they still have eMMC storage where the bottleneck is.

Besides, if you really want to take advantage of USB-C, you need to be looking to NVMe drives with external enclosures, not Flash drives.

He means ONLY USB-C. Name one desktop that is only USB-C lmao.

Also laptops that are only USB C tend to be fairly expensive and inexpensive laptops with only usb C have just started being release slowly very recently.

Plus most people keep laptops for several years before upgrading. Alot of people who bought laptops in 2015 have no reason to upgrade to a newer laptop that has USBC

They couldn't give us at least one A-slot? Usually there's lots of space in the rear.

I think many people still prefer the slot A over slot C. Legacy reasons. I just got 2 Yubikeys that stick into slot-A and one into slot-C. The problem is that Yubikeys deal only allowed us to buy 3. But I figure all machines have slot-As but not all of them have slot-C only ... except CrAAPL. But then again, mobile...But does anyone shove storage sticks into Mobile phones?
