Looking for a good Pendrive

[Yorus]

Hello!

Due to problems with my larger capacity pendrive, I am thinking about getting something decent, since this Lexar that I use is made of plastic and sometimes the connection fails, and to make matters worse, the writing speed is slow.

I am looking for a 3.0, not too big but not nano-type, with good performance and 64 or 128Gb.

I have seen things from Sandisk, but I would like you to recommend based on your experiences.

Thank you.

I answer myself. At the moment, the best I have found are the Sandisk Extreme. I think it's a bit big but I think it's worth it as a "main" pen drive: Sandisk Extreme 128Gb It seems a bit expensive to me, but for the capacity and quality, it's not bad. What has caught my attention is that they say it behaves more like an SSD than a normal pen drive, which allows you to make partitions. Would it be possible to have an NTFS partition and another EXT4? That way I could keep the most important files visible only to Linux (whoever wants to see them will have to work for it). And having the two partitions, I don't know how it would behave when plugged directly into a TV, which is the reason why I'm looking for capacity.

I have always had cheap pendrives until a couple of years ago I was given a 64 gb one. I made an 8 gb partition in fat32 and with the rest I created an encrypted partition in ext4. When I connect it to the PC, both partitions appear, but when I do it on another device, only the fat32 one comes out. I think this can be done with any pendrive, but I suppose it only makes sense if you have extra gigas.

I don't spend all day fighting with mega files like the forum members who work with images, but I can tell you that I have a 64GB Sandisk Extreme and it's a bullet, although as you say it's quite big. I recommend that you check it out on sites like Amazon to get a flash sale, and it won't hurt you as much.

Another stick that has worked well for me is a Kingston DTM30 64GB (USB 3.0), which I have given quite a lot of work and it is still going strong, although it is not as fast as the Extreme.

Cheers!

Thanks for the replies guys. Let me start to tidy up my stuff and sell others to start spending again
