For what money?
Eli Foster
I've always liked the sandisk ultra, pic related

San disk has been shit since western digital bought them out.
Brody Cooper
just a solid budget flash drive. 64 gigs i guess.
Lucas Watson
Cheapest price per GB? or best performance/size for a certain price?
Thomas Collins
Unironically an mSD/SD USB adaptor + card. That way once its borked you can just replace the card and it will be just like new again.
Most USB flash drives (especially chinky ones) are essentially this now. pic related

best performance, quality, and size for a lower price. i dont have an exact budget, i just need a couple extra flash drives and dont wanna get something thats shit
Jason Brooks
Probably just some ali drive for $3, because the "fucking cheap nearly no money at all" part skews the equation as stated, even if you might have to order two to get a higher chance of having one that works.
Nathan Williams
The smallest cheapest one you can find.
Juan Baker
> dont wanna get something thats shit
Can't have it all in a relative sense.
Do you want to pay for a premium fast completely tested warranty-covered brandshit device with amazing specs, or do you want cheap and "probably works"? Pick.

SanDisk Extreme Go USB 3.1

unless you want extreme performance, then get the SanDisk Extreme Pro USB 3.1

Though this one only comes in 128 or 256GB, not 64GB

OTOH if you don't want anything special, an USB2 Chinesium 64GB drive is like $5 - 1/4 the price.
Carson Phillips
Yeah with write performance that makes floppy disks look fast.
Jaxson Murphy
It won't be fast, but of course it'll be faster than floppies - maybe 25MB/s or so.
But you only have 64GB to write to, and you're not usually writing the whole drive. Shouldn't matter much.
Easton Campbell
lol, more like 5-10MB/s if you're lucky.
Even decent brand $10-15 64GB drives will have ~20-25MB/s writes. Let alone $5 chink ones.
Michael Anderson
Eh, Chink 32GB microSD already had 20MB/s five or so years ago when Jow Forumscsg/ bought Mixza sharks & obviously the 64GB models were faster than 25MB/s.
But maybe the $5 USB sticks are 10MB/s in instances, certainly didn't pool the whole damn market. Pretty sure there will be faster models though, they generally won't intentionally make 64GB storage even slower, it's just gonna be the speed of cheap parts. And that's probably more toward 20-25MB/s.

build one with a 1TB Samsung M.2 SSD inside
Michael Thomas
Get a real ssd
Julian Roberts
still aint a real ssd.
This is what you really need. Pair it with a good M.2 NVMe drive and you're golden.
Wyatt Barnes
user do you want me to take more pics?
Juan Wilson
i'm saying it's a puny bitch SSD, i understand that technically it IS an SSD.
Joshua Walker
problem is that 256gb is way too much space. You want USB drives to be as cheap as possible, since a big use case there is "I need to give this other person some files". 32GB is usually plenty for that, and if the other person fails to give you your drive back you'd rather it be a $5 piece of chink shit instead of something you spent a meaningful amount of money on.
Carson Cooper
a free one
Asher Martinez
Can't fit 4k blurays on 32GB
Dylan Sanders
If you want something to put random stuff on every now and then, just get the cheapest drive with good reviews. Chances are it'll have a fast cache, meaning performance will dramatically decrease for any file over ~100mb
More expensive sticks (do your research to confirm) will usually have faster silicon across the board, meaning transfer speeds should remain consistent throughout the writing process.
It's the main reason I went to slightly more expensive drives, once your transfers get into gigabyte territory 4mb/s vs 300mb/s makes a big difference
