I totally get you with not wanting to wait ages to copy stuff. The Kingston Data Traveler Max. It's USB 3.2x2. I suppose it's not as fast as the new USB4 devices but I suspect they'll eventually release a new version. It's the same speeds as the SanDisk Extreme V2 (non Pro). So very fast but not quite besting SanDisk but it has a smaller footprint going for it without a dongle essentially.
Oh wow that is really fast drive. I will have to take a look at that one. Glad to see other companies are starting to come out with fast drives.
A few years ago when I was looking the SanDisk was the only drive that was actually fast on writing. Every flash drive I found basically lied about the write speed. They would say oh it is 300mbps but when it would only be able to sustain that speed for a very short time then it would would drop to a slow crawl of 10mbps sometimes even less. One drive was 3mpbs. Or they wouldn't advertise the write speed at all and just focus on read speeds.
There was those portable SSDs but they were still a little big and I wanted something small I could carry with keys.
It is nice to see more companies making them. I had to search a long time to find that drive. A good reason to have different options is that a firmware update it now available for those SanDisk drives we were talking about because a critical flaw was found within them.
Luckily is wasn't those but the flash drive version. Why SanDisk has the same name for like 4 different products is beyond me.

Oh yeah that is confusing. Sadly these ones are only USB 3.2x1
