The only thing worst are SD cards. I swear you need a table to able to compare them and have a clue of what they’re capable of.

Honestly never heard of any USB 3.x sticks. Seems to be in Germany, Mediamarkt, I’d guess

Because of the retro modding of some early 2000 consoles ive had many usb sticks. Sandisk always fails within a year. never had a phillips die on me. Intenso is worthless to begin with. Never use thumb drives to store data you’re not willing to lose;

From what I’ve gathered, USB 3.0 = USB 3.1 Gen 1 = USB 3.2 Gen 1 at 5Gbps, USB 3.1 Gen 2 = USB 3.2 Gen 2 at 10Gbps, USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 = USB4 Gen 2×2 at 20Gbps, and USB4 Gen 3×2 at 40Gbps. Make sure you remember all of that, there will be a quiz later. Also make sure to prepare for our next unit: USB connector types and which USB versions support each type.

Do you ever really need more than 5Gbps though? If it starts with a 2 it’s slow if it starts with a 3 it’s fast. For me at least this has never really been a problem.

It’s been hilarious explaining the shift in USB standards to some of my bosses and why we can’t just use the cheapest cable for everything just because it has a USB-C connector on the end. I once put three different cables on the table in front of someone, two USB-C to USB-C cables and one that was USB-A to USB-B, and had to explain that one of the USB-C cables was only USB 2.0, one of them supported Power Delivery but not USB 3.0 speeds, and the only actual USB 3 cable was the one that looked like it should be for a printer (the A to B cable).

They are all 5gbps, but the flash memory on it is probably wayyyyyy slower than that anyway.

Is this a test for spot real vs fake? Because they all look fake.
