Samsung Type-C USB-stick 128GB
A fast, compact Samsung USB-C stick with 128GB and up to 400MB/s read speed - in a sturdy metal shell.
This Samsung stick combines three things you rarely get together on cheap drives: real speed (up to 400MB/s read over USB 3.1), a USB-C connector that fits modern laptops, tablets and phones, and a metal housing that takes a knock. 128GB is plenty for photos, videos and files on the go. As a practical, affordable gift or stocking filler around 35 euro it does exactly what you want.
Reasons to buy
- High read speed up to 400MB/s (USB 3.1): large files in seconds
- USB-C connector fits modern laptops, tablets and Android phones
- Sturdy, compact metal housing - no flimsy plastic cap
- 128GB of space for photos, video and documents on the move
Watch-outs
- USB-C only; for an older USB-A port you need an adapter
- Write speed is lower than read speed, as on virtually all sticks
- 128GB is generous for files but no replacement for an external SSD for big backups
Why speed and USB-C matter
Many cheap sticks are slow at moving large files. At up to 400MB/s read you transfer a folder of holiday videos in seconds rather than minutes. The USB-C plug is also today's standard: it fits straight into modern laptops, many tablets and Android phones, no adapter.
What you use it for
Ideal to quickly share files, pull photos off your phone or carry a backup. The metal housing with no loose cap means it survives the keyring or pocket. For daily transport of documents and media, 128GB is a comfortable middle ground.
Who is it a good gift for?
A safe, useful gift for students, photographers or anyone with a modern USB-C laptop or phone. Small, practical and always handy. Less logical for someone with only older USB-A devices or who wants to make very large backups.
Frequently asked questions
Will this stick fit my phone?
If your phone has a USB-C port and supports USB-OTG (most modern Android phones), it fits and works. iPhones with USB-C generally work too; older Lightning iPhones don't.
Does it work on a regular USB port?
Not directly - this is a USB-C stick. For a classic USB-A port you need a USB-C-to-A adapter.
How fast is it really?
Up to 400MB/s read over USB 3.1. Write speed is lower, as on almost any USB stick; for copying large files it's still noticeably faster than a budget stick.
