HP 712w 128GB USB 3.2 Flash Drive- Blue

I bought one 64 GB of USB 3.2. Pretty good. I got very good speed. But not good as expected. I got about average of 30-40 MB/s. I didn’t get maximum because of heat. Its a metal body pen drive so that its heat level is high. It has both USB A and USB C.
As for Compatibility it will work both on mobile and computer. No OTG required.
By the way its design is very good.

The drive was delivered a day in advance IIRC and was packaged well, looks good as well; will last a long time if handled and used properly.
As far as performance is concerned, this is an awfully slow drive. It is marketed as a USB 3.2 drive but it performs poorly even when connected to a USB 3.1 port. I checked it on Windows 11 and Zorin OS (Linux) by transferring a 3 GB iso file. The maximum speed I got was around 15mbps, lowest around 3mbps and an average speed of around 5-6 mbps. This is slower than even a Sandisk 2.0 pen drive that I unfortunately lost somehow. I tried different formats like FAT32, ExFAT, NTFS but speed remains the same. Drive Check utility reports no erros so I conclude that this is a hardware related issue hence the low price of 3xx rupees.
I wouldn’t recommend this drive if you move large size files and a huge amount of data on a regular basis. This is good for storing lossless music for your car – fill and forget type data.
