You can buy a 5pack of PNY 32gb sticks for 30 dollars rn and as low as 15 dollars for 5pack of crap brands. A 32gb stick from anyone is under 10 dollars currently. What even is this and why is it so expensive?

smallbitSpeed. The transfer rates on those cheap drives is abyssal. Those drives would take 2 hours to transfer the full 32GB capacity to the drive. This drive would take 3-5 minutes at the same capacity.

Thephoenix3000That is incorrect. It is a basic 3.1 data bus. The PNY drives transfer at the same speed. Here is cheaper samsung/sandisk links. This is not a good deal by ANY means imo. https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-32GB-Ultra-Flash-Drive/dp/B077VXV323

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-BAR-Plus-32GB-MUF-32BE4/dp/B07BPKKYHY I even found an adata 3.1 drive for 9 bucks too! https://www.amazon.com/ADATA-Ultra-Speed-Flash-AS102P-32G-RBL/dp/B008FQV42Y

smallbitThe interface honestly doesn't matter, the controller on it does though. If the USB 3.1 gen2 Interface was fully saturated you would be able to transfer at speeds near 1250MBps. The Sandisk Ultra write speed you linked averages near 40MBps. The Samsung is a little over 60MBps in the reviews I found. The product here is rated for 180MBps. As I said, you are paying for the transfer speed.

Thephoenix3000I would like to place my monero-money-bet that their claim is hype and gets the same rates as a samsung or sandisk 3.1.

smallbitThe price can also reflect the quality of nand and other materials used in the device. Flash drives generally get the junk that's left after everything else. Like the turkey bones at Thanksgiving. They may not have any meat on them, but they can still make soup broth. Then again, they may not have better nand. That question can only be answered by the maker.

QuestorsWell it might be the best nand in the world but you are still burning money with this purchase.

smallbitFrom my experience, PNY is a crap brand. Got a couple to use on a Mac. Firmware bug inside them turned them into bricks... the only possible fix was a windows app they released to update the firmware. Sucks big time, never again.
