MOVE SPEED 512GB Thumb Drive, 1000MB/s Read Write Speed, USB 3.2 Gen2+Type C Dual Interface SSD Drive with Leather Case Memory Stick for iPhone 15, 16, 17 Series/MacBook/Android/Audio etc(1 Pack)

I’m very satisfied with this MOVE SPEED 256GB thumb drive. The read and write speeds are impressively fast—close to the advertised 1000MB/s—which makes transferring large files quick and hassle‑free. The build quality feels solid, and the compact design makes it easy to carry around. Overall, it’s a reliable and high‑performance storage option that delivers great value.

I am a computer repair technician and I needed a drive to use with Ventoy for various ISOs. It needed to be fast so booting the ISOs doesn’t take long and I needed to be able to put it in any computer, regardless of port type. I bought this to replace my SSK 1TB drive. I’ve had the SSK drive for about a year now and it’s been fine except for one issue. The type A port has a cap that doesn’t stay with the unit when you have to use the type A. I’m surprised I haven’t lost it yet! With the move speed, both the type A and C have the protector that stays with the unit. The magnet on the type A protector is a bit on the weaker side but is not a deal breaker for me. I keep it in my back pocket through the work day and I’ve had no issues with the protectors coming off. Speed is as advertised and can get a bit warm while doing a lot of writing or reading but for me, since I only use it to load ISOs off ventoy, is not an issue. One very small thing I don’t like is the texture of the drive weirdly enough. It’s hard to explain but it’s kinda chalky feeling and if I run my nail on it, makes that weird teeth feeling. I think over time though the texture will get better.

Bought many of these. They are so fast with photos files etc. .256gig lots of space. Metal thumb drive and it works in computer and my s21 ultra

First off, this thing is fast. Blazing fast. I did not expect the speeds to hold up when writing large files because of the price point. Usually they start off fast, but then the speeds drains off quick. However after multiple tests with CrystalDiskMark8_0_4c I can confirm I was consistently reaching read speeds of 963MB/s and write speeds of 891MB/s. This is by far the fastest thumb drive I've ever owned. It matches the speeds of my other expensive, high capacity external SSD drive. However there a couple small issues: First, both sides (usb-a and usb-c) have hinged caps that you can't remove. I actually prefer attached caps because there's less parts to lose. However, these caps swing upwards 90 degrees, essentially making your thumb drive much fatter than it normally would be. This can cause issues if you're trying to fit it in tight spaces as it could cause it to not fit or bang into other peripherals. It would be nice if you could choose to remove them if you needed to. Second, the cap on the usb-c side locks into place nicely and doesn't open unless you apply some pressure. However the cap on the usb-a side is very lose and will swing open with gravity. This means it will probably open up in my bag when being jostled around, thus defeating the purpose of a cap. I don't know if they're all like this or I just got a defective one. It's beginning to annoy me enough that I'm considering sending it back for a replacement. If the manufacturer is reading this, let me know if you'll send a replacement, thanks. In conclusion, the read/write speeds are what we're here for, and they do not disappoint. However the build quality and QA leave a bit to be desired. Hopefully I just got a faulty one and they aren't all like this. Still giving it 4 stars.

Very fast transfer speed. I like that it came with a case. Works great so far!

Didn't work properly

I use it for booting my laptop and it's as fast as the SSD. I do have generation 3.2 X2 and thunderbolt. It does get kind of warm and I did put an aluminum heat sink around it. I don't think this is necessary but if you want to use it for long periods of time it'll probably extend the line of the flash drive. Even with the small heat sink it is easy to carry around. I have decided to have several ways to boot my laptop for specific tasks. For example I have one that just goes to the bank and no other place and then another if I want to do video and photographic work and on and on. By using USB sticks or an SSD you can design your laptop to do specific tasks and eliminate all the clutter running in the background You can also have one that goes to malicious site. However, flash drive has one drawback. I have a SSD cloner and I bought adapters so I can plug it in with the flash drive. The cloner will not clone the USB drive. However I would recommend easeus clone tool. I have used other cloning software and all I get is the dreaded blue screen. This software can even put an operating system in a smaller drive. I hardly recommend using several different flash drives for different tasks. It is and extra protection for malware for sensitive data. If you're really paranoid. You can go into the computer and disable the computers hard drive. In this way there's no link between the different external drives.

Poor quality, and no customer support. When I first received my flash drive, it worked great, and it was fast just like the promised speeds. I was surprised it came with a keychain holder too, so I absolutely used it and kept this flash drive with me everywhere. Fast-forward about 6 months and it stopped working completely. At first maybe I thought the partition crashed, so I attempt to reformat it, but it turns out that my computer isn’t even detecting the drive (confirmed on macOS in System Settings > General > System Report > Thunderbolt/USB4), and no other device of mine seems to see it, either. This thing is dead as a doornail. I attempted to reach out to Movespeed’s support email ([email protected]) and have received absolutely no response after several days — not even a simple acknowledgement. Their Amazon listing says to use this email to contact them. I wanted to know what their warranty claim process was or even how long the warranty was, but apparently you get no warranty, no reassurance, and no support at all! Do not buy this worthless piece of garbage. I have cheap 2GB flash drives from 15 years ago that work flawlessly still that were given to me for free from events, not sure how this “premium” flash drive couldn’t even last half a year, and to get ghosted by this company on top of it. Ridiculous.
