What this drive does

The Team Group C162 is a 256GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 flash drive with a zinc-alloy, capless body. It delivers read speeds up to 140MB/s for moving large files between desktops, laptops and compatible ports. The COB assembly adds water, dust and shock resistance for daily carry.

Who it suits and who it doesn't

Suits anyone needing 256GB of portable storage with fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 transfers and a rugged, capless metal shell. Not for buyers who want more storage than 256GB, who need sustained write speeds for running applications directly from the drive, or who require hardware encryption for sensitive data.

The spec that decides fit

The USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface with up to 140MB/s read speed determines whether this drive matches your workflow. If your ports and files benefit from that throughput, the C162 fits; if you need a different capacity or faster writes, look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the drive is delivering up to 140 MB/s read speed after setup?

Run a benchmark tool like CrystalDiskMark on a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port and compare the sequential read result to the 140 MB/s figure listed for the 256 GB model.

What is included in the box and is any accessory required?

The package contains only the C162 flash drive itself; its capless unibody design means no separate cap or cable is needed.

Which capacity version should I choose among the listed options?

Available capacities are 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512 GB; the 256 GB model offers up to 140 MB/s read speed while lower capacities range from 90 to 100 MB/s.
