I'll bite. I bought a bunch of these and I use them regularly and I'm getting frustrated with the wait times. Seeing this post makes me feel like I've got the worst of the worst which is motivating me to consider opening my wallet and moving on. Anyone have recommendations for a cheap, reliable usb drive I can buy in bulk (like 5 to start) in the 64-128gb ballpark that might not break records, but isn't embarrassingly slow? I'm really partial to the double sided drives that have a USB c option as well, but those are still a little hard to find while meeting the other requirements I've listed.
Not personally but microcenter does have that 30 day return period so you could buy something name brand from them and then return it if it doesn't cut it.
