SK Hynix T31 Tube 10Gb/s USB Stick Review, PC Tests and PS5 Tests

[@WhiteVaille]

Very neat seeing how far flash media has come. Just tested my trusty old SanDisk 64GB Extreme USB 3.0 drive that's probably a decade old now, and it only gets 190-260 MB/s. TBF, I think that's perfectly adequate for my use-case. Only quibble I have with this drive, other than the bulk, is that it doesn't seem to have a lanyard loop. I might be inclined to agree on USB Type-C, but I feel like Type-A connectors are still most common in the world on desktop and slim client PCs, so I'm not super bothered by that decision. Though perhaps it could have included a matching 10Gb A-to-C adapter in the cap.

[@GarrettLucasWV]

Yeah, and I hate these sticks that don't have a way to keep the caps from being lost.

Great review, thanks for taking the time!

I am a little bit non-plused. I have a sack full of old (and new) USB (thumb) drives laying around. And I have several old HDDs and SATA SSDs in external USB cases. I just don't have the "need for speed" transferring data from my PC to an external drive. (or vise-versa) Great explanation. I have seen these USB SSD drives on the shelf. But I did not rush out to get one.

Thank you for this helpful video.

Sustained performance and endurance are my two main criteria. Can't find a TBW rating, but might give it a try when I get some spare $$

[@nascompares]

It's tough to find the exact TBW/DWPD on this as the drive is an OEM/bare label version of the original drive. So, they are not required to publish it. It is not QLC and the performance cannot exceed 1GB/s, so this drive should be fine in terms of durability

[@Makumbi]

The bigger the capacity, the bigger the loss when you misplace it.

[@stanislavtrifan96]

Cap in action. It still doesn't mean to buy capacity less than you need

[@Makumbi]

n96 what do you need 1tb thumb drive for that all the other technologies cannot do? All I am saying is that thing is a security vulnerablity. At least back in the day you could see a large 2.5 inch portable drive and the required cable.

Have you checked out Transcend's ESD380C or ESD310C products?

[@automatedrussianbot8043]

plz talk about the 108TB volume limit on synology

[@niel546]

Or buy a 2tb SP nvme and a enclosure

[@GarrettLucasWV]

Neat stick but only 512 GB in this age?
