Netac USB C 3.1 rev 2 portable drive ~ 1GB/sec $38 (.25TB), $55 (.5 TB), $98 (1 TB)

I was curious about these cheap drives and their advertised specs, so I bought one and it was a little above 900MB/sec according to black magic. This is about the price of a raw drive, so a decent enclosure and cables is a bonus. This makes it a decent transfer disk, as long as you have a USB 3.1 rev 2 connection. (USB 3 is about half the speed, so if you dont have a 3.1 rev2 interface, its not worth the additional money. I compared it to a much fast NVMe drive that I put in a USB 3.1 rev2 enclosure and it was less than 10% faster, no doubt limited by the 3.1 rev 2 protocol. So inside a USB 3.1rev2 enclosure, a faster NVMe isnt going to be faster. Just an FYI, if you willing to spend $60+ for a thunderbolt 3 enclosure, you can get about 50% faster.

I do not know the reliability of this brand, so time will tell. It comes with a short USB-C to USB-C cable and a short USB-C to USB-A cable. I bought the 500GB size for $55.
Good Deal?

Hmm. Good price. Never heard of Netac but these prices are about right for the capacity and speed.

I only just now heard of Netac ssds being installed as internal SSDs in Gateway laptops sold at Walmart.
I also thought this was some no name brand for Chinese laptops

...so maybe they are slowly making a name for themself as an ok cheap ssd company for cheap China made laptops.
