256 GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive

The Orico USSD Mobile Solid U Disk provides 256 GB of portable storage with a USB-A connector. It is suited for students, office workers and photographers who need to move large files between computers quickly. The metal casing protects the drive during daily transport. Read speeds reach up to 520 MB/s under the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface.

Plug-and-Play Installation

The drive works immediately when inserted into a USB-A port on Windows, macOS or Linux systems without extra drivers. Its compact metal body fits tightly in crowded port clusters, so adjacent sockets may become blocked. The capless design removes a loose part but leaves the connector exposed to dust when not in use.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 Practical Limits

The USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface caps theoretical throughput at 5 Gbps, so real-world transfers rarely exceed the advertised 520 MB/s read rate. Write speeds are lower and vary with file size and host controller performance. The drive is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, but transfers then drop to USB 2.0 speeds.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the drive is delivering the advertised 520MB/s read speed after I plug it in?
