Review: Great value no-frills memory stick - Very pleased with this as a low cost, moderately sized storage stick. I paid £17.41 for the 256GB version. It's somewhat no-frills in that the form factor is nothing special: the casing is made of plastic and there's a tab on it that you push to make the connector pop out. It's a little bit chunky when compared to some sticks that have a footprint similar to a USB-A socket, so for example when connecting it to a PS4 pro or steam deck dock I use an adapter. The listed 130MB/s read speed is accurate. Write speed is slower, but not as bad as the CrystalDiskMark results indicate. When transferring a 2GB video file across it sat around 50MB/s for most of the write. When filling the entire stick with H2testw the average write speed was about 34MB/s, with reads of about 130MB/s. Note that it comes formatted as FAT32 by default for maximum compatibility so will not allow files larger than 4GB but can easily be reformatted to exFAT which removes this limitation and will work with the vast majority of modern operating systems. Review: Fast, Reliable, and Great Value – Perfect for Everyday Use! - I’m really impressed with this desertcart Basics 256 GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive. It’s compact, sturdy, and performs exactly as described. The read speed is fast , files transfer quickly and smoothly when plugged into a USB 3.0 or 3.1 port. I’ve used it to back up photos, videos, and large documents, and it has handled everything without any issues.

Fast. Fast. Looking forward to the 512 and 1 TB versions to become so affordable. **Q: Does this work with apple products?** A: It will work with anything that has a USB port. So, if you’re talking about a MacBook, it will. **Q: is this a good option for storing and playing Steam games?** A: Yeah, I've saved games on it and I haven't had any load time issues, stuttering, maybe some latency, but it's much less than what I'm experiencing with my HDD, just make sure it doesn't disconnect while you're playing 🙃 P.D: My PC only has USB 3.0 **Q: Will this work on my iPhone 11 Pro Max?** A: It will not connect to an iPhone. If you have an adapter and format the drive properly it would work on an iphone. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value no-frills memory stick *by M***N on 21 June 2024* Very pleased with this as a low cost, moderately sized storage stick.

It’s compact, sturdy, and performs exactly as described. The read speed is fast , files transfer quickly and smoothly when plugged into a USB 3.0 or 3.1 port.

I love it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Storage, No Frills, Solid Price *by D***N on 5 June 2026* A super handy little drive that does exactly what you need it to. Transfer speeds are solid for everyday use, and 128GB at this price feels like a steal. It’s lightweight, tough enough to throw in a bag, and works instantly with no fuss. The only downside is that it’s pretty plain/plasticky and a bit bulky (nothing exciting to look at) but for reliable storage on the cheap, it’s a great pick. ## Frequently Bought Together - Amazon Basics 128 GB Ultra Fast USB 3.1 Flash Drive, Black - SanDisk 128GB Ultra Flair USB 3.0 Flash Drive - SDCZ73-128G-G46, black - Syntech USB C to USB Adapter Pack of 2 USB C Male to USB 3.0 Female Adapter Compatible with MacBook Pro Air 2024, Microsoft Surface, iPad,Samsung Notebook, Dell XPS and More Type C Devices,Space Grey --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/479487097-amazon-basics-128gb-usb-3-1-flash-drive-read-speed](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/479487097-amazon-basics-128gb-usb-3-1-flash-drive-read-speed) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
