Rank #10 in Best 128GB USB Flash Drives: 10 Ranked, and the Write Speeds the Boxes Hide
ENUODA 128GB USB 2.0 Memory Stick, Swivel
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The ENUODA UFD-XZLS-128GB is a 128 GB USB 2.0 memory stick with a rotating metal cover, a keyring loop and an LED activity indicator, priced at £11.89. It comes as a single pack in black and sits at number 10 in this guide. The listing carries 17,641 ratings at an average of 4.3 out of 5, and the star breakdown shown on the page runs 8 one-star, 2 two-star, 6 three-star, 16 four-star and 68 five-star — a total of 100 ratings, so the bars are a sample of the 17,641, not the whole count.
The finding on this one is the interface. This guide is mostly an argument about headline speed, and the ENUODA's own specification fields quote 20 MB/s read and 10 MB/s write. That is exactly the profile you would expect from the hardware interface field on the same listing, which says USB 2.0. The five bullet points never quote a speed at all, so those two figures are the only numbers the page offers on how fast it actually moves data. There are two other fields worth reading carefully: "Compatible Phone Models" is filled in as "Mac Os", which is an operating system rather than a phone, and the colour field reads "Black 128GB*1". Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it stands, not from any testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Worked perfectly, had the right amount of GB it said it would. Slipped in easy without any prep too. Would 100% recommend. Couldn't believe how fast it was to get my data on and off there. Stayed a nice ambient temperature, it didn't heat up whilst it was in there. A great size to fit in, you can pull it out and push it in with ease.”
Verified purchase“Tested with Fight Flash Fraud. Files read back without powering down after writing and they seem OK. This is an initial test. Capacity is reported as 14.63 GiB.”
