Super Talent Releases New 128GB USB 2.0 Pico C Drives
Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of NAND Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, unveils its new high capacity 128GB USB 2.0 Pico C drives. Super Talent's Pico drives offer very large capacities in a tiny elegant case. Now with 128GB of storage capacity, the Pico C can hold even more of your media and photo files in one place. The Pico C is a shock and water-resistant USB drive about the size of a quarter. It provides great USB 2.0 speeds in a very small form factor.
The Pico C is includes space to attach a keychain, lanyard, or other accessory. This versatile flash drive is perfect for storing data, digital images, and videos for quick access while being barely noticeable on a keychain. More information about Super Talent Pico drives can be found here.

It's 128GB, 2 hours to fill it with datas with that speed...
Congrats knuckleheads!
Epic failure
USB 2.0 April 2000 High Speed (480 Mbit/s)
thats about 48MB/s (8bits data + control bit or 2)
128GB = 128000MB
128000 / 48 = 2666.666666666667 seconds
2666.666666666667 /60 = 44.44444444444444 minutes.
That ofc is theoretical transfer speeds.
your 2 hours therefore may be false.
Not my problem you have used to non optimal slow speed USB 2.0 drives.
In fact, most of first generation USB 3.0 flash sticks didn't exceed the theoretical USB 2.0 speed limits.
In fact, most of current low cost USB 3.0 flash sticks don't exceed the theoretical USB 2.0 write speed limits, read speeds are another story.
Low cost USB 3.0 example:
www.goodram.com/product/usb-3-0-flash-drive/goodram-edge-3-0/
8 GB: read up to 100 MB/s, write up to 5 MB/s <= it would take 26.66666666667 minutes to fill this up
16 GB: read: up to 120 MB/s, write up to 10 MB/s <= same here
32 GB: read up to 150 MB/s, write to 20 MB/s <= same here
64 GB: read up to 150 MB/s, write to 20 MB/s <= it would take 53.33333333333333 minutes to fill this up.
Then again, we have no clue yet what those Pico drives speeds are because supertalent uses some arbitrary numbers to describe speeds ( supertalent.com/datasheets/18_75.pdf ) ... and I have absolutely no clue what speed is "up to 200X". I didn't know we measured data transfers in X-es and "up to"-s. Also there is no separate write and read speeds.Also water resistance maybe? Most flash sticks should be kind of shock resistant (compared to traditional HDD-s anyway)? I have no clue really.
Additionally most "affordable" flash drives are built on crappy third-party controllers, like infamous Phison. Out of 3x Kingston DataTraveler HyperX 3.0 drives purchased in the past 18 months only one survived, and the speed never reaches anything close to what's claimed by specs. Sold the last working one and bought a few ADATA C906 USB 2.0 drives instead (silicon motion controller).
My point: I'd rather have a reliable, but slow flashdrive, than a super-fast piece of sh#t that could unexpectedly die.
