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.
