Are these usb 3 devices?Not a deal. Had a PNY 128GB UFD that does 40 MB/s writes. Bought same model with 512GB capacity. It can do best 6 MB/s. Progress???
Second one is counterfeit?Not a deal. Had a PNY 128GB UFD that does 40 MB/s writes. Bought same model with 512GB capacity. It can do best 6 MB/s. Progress???
I would return it.No. I think it's legit, just that they are probably using PLC (penta level cell) NAND chips in it. No way to verify though without breaking it open.

It was just $24. Not worth the hassle. Just disappointed that they would lower their standards this low.I would return it.
Well, if you are disappointed, I would definitely return it. Especially if there is free return shipping. They shouldn't get away with it. Where did you buy from?It was just $24. Not worth the hassle. Just disappointed that they would lower their standards this low.
From a big chain of supermarkets here. Just going there and explaining to non-technical people at the customer desk that this isn't meeting performance expectations sounds futile. So not gonna waste time on that.Where did you buy from?
Buying "Tech" from Aldi's should be a meme.From a big chain of supermarkets here.
It's FBA so you get 30 day returns.Not a bad price...and it does say 3 year warranty, but currently as mentioned on Slickdeals, it is sold by another seller, not Amazon directly.
Doesn't seem that great; crucial 1tb is about $10 more.SATA SSD is no longer mainstream, but anyone want to be a guinea pig for an older system?

Well you might think modern system use nvme but i use sata all the time because well most mb can have up to 8 sata but only 2 or 3 nvme.Crucial BX100 is $63, or 45% more.
TEAM Group AX2 is $50, and I consider them reputable (also a Taiwanese company).
As mentioned, this deal mainly applies to older systems. Modern stuff is better served with NVMe.
