Flash Drive With Micro Usb Connector

I purchased this for my wife so that she could carry her large iPhoto library between her two computers. When it arrived, I copied her photo library to the drive. I thought an error had occurred when it finished becaused it finished so fast. Then I tested the flash drive. With larger files, I was seeing read speeds of 25-28MB/s (that's BYTES) per second and write speeds of 15-20MB/s. I currently own about 8 different USB 2.0 flash drives in sizes from 8GB to 64GB. None are even close to this fast. Hope it lasts because it's a great flash drive. It would also make a decent bootable backup drive or emergency drive. The only drawback is the slider piece of plastic that slides over the USB male connector. First, it doesn't completely cover the connector meaning that lint and fuzz can get inside. The bigger problem is that it's hard to move the slider.

Nano USB flash drives can be a real chore to remove, especially from recessed ports -- the smallness that helps keep them from being caught on something can also make them difficult to get a hold of. This PNY flash drive contains a very useful hole perfect for a lanyard, keychain, etc. Performance-wise, the PNY flash drive tested fine on my old hardware's add-on USB 3.0 ports. Machine is running Win 10 and old HD Tach (see photo). Interestingly, HD Tach froze up trying to test another 64GB flash drive, so the PNY is doing something correctly the other did not. Overall, the flash drive seems well-made, with a metal connector, not plastic. No winking LED. The connector cap is snug enough that it should keep from falling off.

The Sandisk Dual USB 3.0 / micro-USB Flash Drive is a convenient way to store files that are to be used between PCs and Android devices.  Not having to connect a cable between the PC and the Android device is a plus.  Just plug in the flash drive to move or access the file directly from the PC or device. Nice!

I have another review that I wrote about this mic, but B&H's website doesn't appear to let me update that review. I've now been using this mic almost daily for over a year. The audio is crisp and clear, background noise is kept to a minimum, and people on the other end of the meeting/phone call give compliments on the detail that this mic captures. I used to use a condenser mic, but that also had the annoying feature of picking up a lot of 60Hz hum. This mic doesn't do that and I didn't have to make any adjustments to the room either. For the person who mentioned they couldn't fit it in a shockmount, it has one internally. That is why the mic is the size that it is. For those complaining about the USB port, mine hasn't had any issues. I accidentally bent the micro usb connector on the cheap cable they shipped with it and the mic survived just fine. The cable, on the other hand, was useless after that. I solved this problem by finding a 90 degree USB adapter so that the connector isn't pointing straight out the back of the mic. It now sits mostly flush and swiveling the mic is more likely to cause the adapter to disconnect at the other end. If your laptop, like mine, is usb-c only, don't try to buy long usb-c to usb-c cables. They are crazy expensive. Instead, try to buy a usb-c to mini or micro usb-b cable. They are much cheaper. My setup is usb-c to micro usb (10 feet), then an adapter from micro-usb to usb-c (1 inch), and then finally a short usb-c to 90 degree micro-usb adapter (6 inches).

Update can be done without old CPU with USB flash drive only.

I have multiple USB 3.0 backup drives, all use the Micro-B connector. The new MacBook needs USB-C, so these fit the bill, and seem well-built. I ran a complete Time Machine restore to setup a new MacBook pro with this cable.

We are using a flash drive to store and playback videos on a portable projector. I tried with a USB 3.0 Flash Drive, thinking the newer version was better. But the projector had a different idea. I learned from the professionals at B+H that this unit requires an older USB 2.0 Flash Drive. I never would have thought of that but sure enough, when I used this Verbatim 64G Ergo USB 2.0, the projector recognized the videos and played them flawlessly.

Easy to use and durable USB flash drive

Just the right size, so it is small, but not so small as to easily get lost like the tiny thumb drives that hardly have anything to grab onto when they are plugged in, and are so easily misplaced or lost on a busy desk due to being too tiny. Best yet, it has a USB-C connector on one side, and swivels to a USB-A connector on the other end. Makes it easy to transfer data, pictures, or videos quickly from PC's, laptops, MacBooks or iPads with a USB-C port, to other USB-C devices, or also to other devices without a USB-C port. I love both the small, but decent size of the drive, and the capability to use it for either or both USB-C and USB-A ports. 32 GB is also a decent memory size, for backing things up, storage or transferring files. I have both PC's, MacBook Air (2) and three iPads. I just had to reinstall Windows after a crash, and used this drive to do a recovery drive for the PC. Now, if my PC crashes again, I can recover it easily, with this as my recovery drive. I highly recommend this drive.

I had an old 3.5 WD external hard drive that only had a USB 2.0 connector. I bought the Sabrent enclosure so I could use USB 3.0 instead. Once I removed the hard drive it was easy to install it in this new enclosure. You need to pay attention to the instructions and angle the drive to properly seat it into the SATA connector. I haven't tried removing it, but I don't need to. This enclosure uses a power plug. It's not bus powered. I do like that there's an on/off switch. Overall, what else can I say? It's a simple solution that works. I'll definitely be buying more of these.
