Rank #9 in Best 128GB USB Flash Drives: 10 Ranked, and the Write Speeds the Boxes Hide
LinkMore NR34 128GB USB 3.2 Flash Drive
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The LinkMore NR34 is the ninth entry in this guide: a 128GB USB flash drive listed at £11.19 and rated 4.3 out of 5 from 235 ratings. The spec table gives its dimensions as 8mm deep, 19mm wide and 55mm high, a weight of 8 grams and a five-year warranty from the date of purchase. The field labelled Colour in that same table reads NR34 128GB, which is the model number rather than a colour.
What the listing never settles is the interface. The title calls the drive USB 3.2, the bullet points call it USB 3.1 Gen 2x1, and the spec table calls it USB 3.2 Gen 1 — three labels for one product on one page. The speed figures, by contrast, are kept apart: 120MB/s maximum sequential read and a separate 60MB/s maximum sequential write, rather than one read number copied into both fields. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this drive; we have not tested it ourselves.
How those 235 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.3 stars.
