In this era of comprehensive digitalization, portable storage devices have become necessities for our daily lives, among which USB drives and mobile hard drives occupy a major position. Although traditional USB drives are very portable, their transmission speed is not as good as those of old mechanical hard drives, which is inconvenient for those who need to carry large-sized files with them often; while mobile hard drives, especially mobile solid-state, are transmission speeds of several orders of magnitude faster, they cannot be carried with them as small as USB drives, and it is difficult to have both fish and bear's paws.
However, with the advancement and development of technology, faster USB drives have appeared now, especially Samsung, the leader in the storage industry, has launched a series of products. Among them, I personally recommend the Type-C USB3.1 flash drive. I use the 256G version of this USB drive. Its high portability, high read and write speed and stable performance left a deep impression on me.
Appearance:
From the appearance, the Samsung Type-C USB3.1 flash drive is smaller than the conventional USB drive, and it still belongs to the level that can be hung on the keychain, which is very portable. The interface uses a USB C interface. Considering that almost all computers and laptops are equipped with C ports, its compatibility is better than that of conventional A-port USB drives, and can be used on mobile phones, PCs, tablets and other devices.
performance:
Generally, the reading speed of a regular USB drive is about 50 to 150MB/s, while the writing speed is much slower. It may even drop to only single digits when encountering some scattered small files. This Type-C USB3.1 flash drive uses NAND flash technology, so the speed has been greatly improved. The 128/256GB version can reach 400MB/s, which is at the same level as the conventional SATA solid-state drive. Even the 64GB version with a slightly slower speed reaches 300MB/s, which is not comparable to ordinary USB drives.
However, everyone needs to note that the speed of this Type-C USB3.1 flash drive is implemented in the USB 3.2 Gen1 environment. If your device has a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 interface, it will not reach the nominal speed, but it can still fully support the interface on your device with good compatibility.
experience:
As long as friends who have used a USB flash drive, they will be very troubled by the USB flash drive's speed drop, especially after working for a long time, due to high calorie generation and exhaustion of cache, the cliff-like speed drop will occur. When I used this Samsung Type-C USB 3.1 flash drive, I found that it not only has faster speed, but also has much better temperature and power consumption than ordinary USB drives, which also greatly alleviates the possibility of speed drop situations and can almost stabilize in a straight line throughout the whole process.
Digital enthusiasts who are familiar with Samsung storage products know that in addition to the performance of its products belonging to the first echelon, their unique reliability and stability are the key to everyone's choice of Samsung. This Type-C USB3.1 flash drive is no exception. It has waterproof, shockproof, magnetic anti-magnetic, high temperature resistance and other characteristics. These are particularly important for mobile storage devices. After all, no one wants to just go through a security check, and the data of the USB drive is damaged due to X-ray exposure.
Summary:
The previous USB drives reached solid-state speed, not to mention that even mechanical hard drives were difficult for ordinary USB drives to reach. It was a torture for me who needed to carry a large number of files and drawings with me. The emergence of Samsung's Type-C USB3.1 flash drive has solved my needs very well. It is not only faster, but also has super compatibility. It also allows me to modify or view a large number of files at any time on my tablet or even my phone. So if you also have high requirements for the portability and high speed of the USB drive, this flash drive is one of your few choices.
