I wanted to get this so I could easily connect my phone, pc, or mac to the thumb drive without worrying about needing a adapter. This has a ton of memory for me to store pictures, files, and videos on. It is also nice because I am able to connect my phone to this and transfer photos off of my phone to free up space. It is also a nice device to store videos so I can watch videos from this thumb drive rather than storing it on my phone. It will also work for thunderport on mac but you may need to format the drive in order to transfer to the mac. This is NOT a thunderport device so it will not utilize the full thunderport speed. If you are using it with your mac, it will transfer pretty quick to and from the device. This thumb drive is pretty decently built although the metal is a bit easy to scratch. There is no slot for key ring or lanyard which is a bit of a bummer. You are able to open the cover to use the type c port. The cap is connected to the thumb drive so it is hard to lose. The cap is pretty solid so it will not just pop off on its own. I do wish the USB port cover was the same. This is a pretty thick thumb drive so it may take up more than one slot. The price as well is pretty reasonable for a thumb drive of this size. The cap is nice because now there will not be any exposed plugs. The case is easy to get scratched up though. Overall this a good flash drive to have if you happen to need to empty your phone or even transferring data between devices via type c. Please note this is not a thunderbolt plug but it will work on a thunderbolt port. It has plenty of space so it can store a good amount of pictures. I do wish it had some kind of key ring slot as you can lose this drive.

This drive comes in an attractive package. The device itself is nicely designed with a solid metal build and feel. The drive has two-end connectivity, one side USB-C with a swing open cover and the other USB-A with a neat magnetic cover. Performance was fast both for USB-C and USB-A. With many manufacturers starting to switch to only USB-C connectors for external devices, this external drive is a good choice for mobile devices, laptops, and desktops.

This just what I needed to transfer my pictures and documents from my iPad to my HP computer. I had to use a large adapter to transfer everything and it was frustrating going back and forth. This makes it much easier because it has two plugs that fit each device and it is small. The only thing about this is the drive in the iPad is buried within the system so I had to search for the drive. However once I found it, everything transferred beautifully. But that has more to do with the apple than the product itself.

If you have large files then this is the USB for you! Fast file transfer and compact!

I still need to run around with removable media, and came across this Ylmrav 256Gb Smartphone and PC OTG USB Flash Drive, and thought I’d give this a try. It comes in a nice presentation case with very nice padding. It has a nice brushed finish so there’s no issue with fingerprints. It has caps to protect both ends... the USB-A connector, and the USB-C connector. The caps are awesome! For the USB-A end cap it is MAGNETIC. Which means it won’t come loose until you pull on it. The USB-C end swivels out of the way and is also magnetic. I have no concerns that I’ll lose these end caps. I have some specialized utilities, and I did a 13 hr reliability test, where different size data chunks are written to the entire disk in three iterations. No issues whatsoever. On a standard USB 3.0 connection, data transfer rates averaged 352 MB.sec. Sadly, I was not able to test transfer speeds under USB 3.2 protocols. In broad testing, USB 3.0 transfer rates were good. 1.55 GB in 10.6 sec 6.34 GB in 59.2 sec I have no doubt that USB 3.2 rates would be consistently faster. This flash drive just FEELS great too. It’s chunky and solid, and is built like a tank. This is a utility drive I’ll use over and over!

This makes it a great option for users who need to quickly transfer large files, such as videos, photos or music. I tested by transfer about 200Gb of large files (each file approximately between 2Gb to 8Gb), and the average transferring speed was around 85Mbps, which is great for these portable flash drive. Overall, the 256G Smartphone and PC OTG SSD USB Drive is a great device for anyone who needs a convenient and reliable way to store and transfer their files. Its also great for people who need to transfer files between multiple devices, its small and portable, easy to use, with fast transfer speed and a large storage capacity

Super easy to transfer data from your phone to your computer. I took tons of pictures on my Samsung phones and I am able to just send them over to this card then I just plug this card into my laptop and move all the photos over. This beats all the hassle of plugging your phone into your laptop.

Thumb drives are still getting larger & larger every day, but this 256gb size is a really great size now in my opinion for PCs & Macs or phones with USB-C. Big enough to hold quite a few HD 1080p & even 4k movies & shows, or just tons of various files but not SO large that it breaks the bank! This drive is neat. VERY well made & its USB-C OR USB 3.0 whichever you need or prefer. Transfer speeds were lightning fast & steady the whole way for very large files through the USB-C port and still good & stable through USB 3.0 but the speed did drop off a good bit through USB 3 on large transfers. No drop off at all through USB-C. USB-C speeds were nearly 400 MB/s from my internal SSD to this drive. No noticeable heating up of this drive either. One of the better flash drives Ive had in some time.

VERY SATISFIED! Extremely fast transfer speed, lots of space. It cannot (physically) connect to my phone with a larger case, but will on my slimmer tablet case. This allows for easy transfer, compilation, and storage of files from many kinds of devices not just laptops/desktops like other USB storage. For the above reasons, I think this is almost perfect. If it had a narrower neck for the USB-C port, it would be 6 stars and not just 5.

Incredible. 256 gb of storage on a duo usb & usb c drive. Love this little thing. Packs so much power. First test was transferred a 10gb file within 3 mins. Loveeee 10/10 highly recommend
