The one listing that publishes its own usable capacity

Amazon Basics 128 GB, USB 3.1 stated, telescopic body, 130 read and 30 write stated, 115 GB usable published

The only drive in this hub whose maker prints the usable figure alongside the label figure — and the only one that prints its headline number in two different units within a single page.

Amazon Basics black 128 GB flash drive with a telescopic sliding body

Amazon Basics 128 GB, USB 3.1 stated, telescopic body, 130 read and 30 write stated, 115 GB usable published

The only drive in this hub whose maker prints the usable figure alongside the label figure — and the only one that prints its headline number in two different units within a single page.

Capacity
128 GB — stated in the title, with the fifth bullet adding that the available storage is more than 115 GB and naming differing measurement standards as the reason the two figures differ. Both numbers are the maker’s own and both are reported here as printed; neither is calculated by this page
USB generation
USB 3.1 — stated in the title. The first bullet is more specific: a USB 3.1 Gen 1 or USB 3.0 port is required on the host machine to reach the stated read and write speeds, with backward compatibility to USB 2.0 hosts at a lower rate
Stated link rate
Not published on the listing — no class rate in gigabits per second appears. The first bullet claims the drive is 15 times faster than USB 2.0 drives, which is a comparison rather than a rate
Stated read figure
130, printed in two units on the same page. The title gives up to 130 Mbit/s; the first bullet gives up to 130 MB/s. The two units differ by a factor of eight and the listing never reconciles them, so both are reported here exactly as written and neither is converted
Stated write figure
Up to 30 MB/s — stated in the first bullet, in the same sentence as the reading figure. The bullet attributes both to internal tests under controlled conditions and adds that actual speeds vary with the device, the transfer size, the file types and other factors
Connector type
Not published on the listing as a plug shape — the first bullet names the host ports required, USB 3.1 Gen 1 or USB 3.0, which is a class and not a connector, and no Type-A or Type-C designation appears in the title or the bullets
Body design
A telescopic design — stated in the third bullet, which names the retracting body as what protects the drive from damage when it is not in use. There is no separate cap to lose. No material, no dimensions and no weight are given
Keyring provision
Not published on the listing — no loop or eyelet is named in any of the five bullets
Stated ingress rating
Not published on the listing — no IP code and no water or dust figure appears
Warranty length
Not published on the listing — no period is stated. The fifth bullet closes on a note about checking the storage requirements of devices such as games consoles before use

  • Publishes the available capacity itself, at more than 115 GB, which no other listing on this shelf does
  • States the host port needed to reach its own figures, rather than printing a bare number
  • The same headline number appears as Mbit/s in the title and MB/s in the first bullet

Best for: A first drive for somebody who has been caught out by a capacity that displayed smaller than the box promised, since this is the listing that explains the difference on the page rather than after the sale.

On the listing

A 128 GB flash drive in black, described in the title as USB 3.1 with a reading speed of up to 130 Mbit/s; a first bullet calling it 15 times faster than USB 2.0 drives, requiring a USB 3.1 Gen 1 or USB 3.0 port on the host machine for the stated read and write speeds, backward compatible with USB 2.0 hosts at lower speed, with reading up to 130MB/s and writing up to 30MB/s based on internal tests under controlled conditions and a note that actual speeds vary by device, transfer size, file type and other factors; storage for Full HD and 4K films, high-resolution photographs and other data; a portable telescopic design protecting the drive when not in use; plug-and-play with no installation; and a closing note that the storage capacity displayed by an operating system may be lower than the capacity on the label because of differing measurement standards, with the available capacity given as more than 115 GB.

One hundred and thirty, in two units

The title says Mbit/s. The first bullet says MB/s. The number in front of them is the same.

Those units are eight times apart. A megabit is an eighth of a megabyte, so 130 Mbit/s and 130 MB/s are two entirely different claims about the same drive, printed on the same page, in the same week.

This page reports both as they are written. It does not convert one into the other and it does not pick the one that flatters, because neither choice would be a fact — it would be a guess about which line the maker meant.

What can be said without guessing is that the writing figure sits beside the reading figure in the same bullet and in the same unit, at up to 30 MB/s. The pair of them describes the ratio this whole family lives with: files come off a flash drive several times faster than they go onto it.

The condition attached to the numbers

The first bullet does something four listings on this shelf never do: it names the port required.

A USB 3.1 Gen 1 or USB 3.0 socket on the host machine, it says, is what the stated read and write speeds depend on, and an older USB 2.0 host will work at a lower rate.

That is the rule this hub keeps returning to. The chain runs memory, controller, plug, cable where there is one, and host socket, and the slowest of them settles the result. A quick drive in a slow port is a slow drive, and the drive’s own figure says nothing about it.

The bullet also attributes its numbers to internal tests under controlled conditions and lists what varies them in practice: the device, the size of the transfer, the file types. That attribution is the maker’s and it is reported as the maker’s.

More than a hundred and fifteen gigabytes

The fifth bullet is the most useful sentence on this page, and it is the last one.

It says the capacity an operating system displays can be lower than the capacity on the label because of differing measurement standards, and it gives the available figure as more than 115 GB.

No other listing in this hub does that. Six of the seven print the label figure and stop, leaving the buyer to meet the smaller number on the day the drive arrives. Publishing both is a small act of good faith, and the closing advice — check what a games console needs before ordering — is aimed at exactly the buyer who would otherwise be caught out.

Both numbers here are Amazon Basics’ own. This page reports what the maker published, in the units the maker used.

The telescopic body, and the plug that is never named

The third bullet describes a retracting design that shields the drive when it is not in use. That is the cap problem solved by removing the cap, and it is a genuine practical difference from the two capped drives on this shelf.

What is not on the page is the plug shape. Type-A and Type-C are never mentioned; only the class of host port is. On a drive sold on being backward compatible with USB 2.0 machines, the assumption is easy to make and this page will not make it for you.

Before ordering

Read the unit letters on the speed claim before the digits. Expect the machine to display something near the 115 GB the maker itself publishes rather than the 128 on the label. And confirm the connector shape with the seller if the drive is going into anything other than a standard desktop socket.

  • Hama C-Laeta 128 GB flash drive with a metal body and a USB Type-C plug

    Hama C-Laeta FlashPen, 128 GB, USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 stated, metal housing

    A metal-bodied USB-C drive that names its generation twice over and never once says how fast it is: no rate in gigabits, no read figure, no write figure, on a page of five bullets.

    Capacity
    128 GB — stated in the title. The figure is the maker’s, printed in the maker’s decimal unit, and this page reports it in that unit rather than restating it in another
    USB generation
    USB 3.2 Gen 1 — stated in the title and again in the first bullet, which in the same sentence also names a USB 3.0/USB 3.1 (Gen. 1) connection. Whether that is a second plug on the same body or the same plug described from a second angle is not settled anywhere on the page
    Stated link rate
    Not published on the listing — neither a figure in gigabits per second nor one in megabytes per second appears in the title or in any of the five bullets. The generation is named and the rate that belongs beside it is left off
    Connector type
    Type-C — stated in the title, with the first bullet adding a USB 3.0/USB 3.1 (Gen. 1) connection alongside it. The third bullet gives the reversible plug as its own selling point: a USB-C plug goes in either way round
    Stated read figure
    Not published on the listing — in place of a number the second bullet offers direct recording and playback of films in Full HD, which describes a use rather than a rate
    Stated write figure
    Not published on the listing. Recording onto the drive is claimed in that same second bullet, and recording is a write operation described here without any figure attached to it
    Body design
    A metal housing — stated in the fourth bullet as high-grade and robust. No cap, no slider and no retractable mechanism is named, and no dimensions and no weight are given
    Keyring provision
    Not published on the listing — no loop, no eyelet and no lanyard hole is named in any bullet
    Stated ingress rating
    Not published on the listing — no IP code, no water figure and no dust figure appears. The robustness claimed in the fourth bullet is a claim about the shell, not a rating
    Warranty length
    Not published on the listing — the fifth bullet gives the box contents as one FlashPen C-Laeta and the page stops there

    • Names the generation behind both connections it describes, rather than printing one bare USB number
    • A metal shell, on the least expensive drive here
    • No read figure and no write figure at all, which is the pair of numbers this shelf is read on

    Best for: A phone or a recent laptop where the socket is Type-C, when what matters is that the drive fits at all rather than how long it takes to fill.

  • Two Intenso Speed Line black 128 GB flash drives supplied as a pair

    Intenso Speed Line twin pack, two drives of 128 GB, USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 stated, 70 MB/s, 8 g each

    A twin pack rather than a single drive, with a plastic body weighed to the gram and measured to the millimetre, and one transfer figure that never says which direction it belongs to.

    Capacity
    128 GB per drive, supplied as two — stated in the title and in the third and fifth bullets, which describe the pack as two Intenso Speed Line drives of 128 GB. The listing publishes no combined figure and this page does not produce one by multiplication
    USB generation
    USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 — stated in the title and in the first and fifth bullets, which name it as Super Speed USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 and credit it for the transfer rate. It is the most precisely written generation on this shelf, since it names the lane arrangement as well as the class
    Stated link rate
    Not published on the listing — no class rate in gigabits per second appears alongside the generation. The only figure on the page is in megabytes per second
    Stated read figure
    Not published as a read figure — the first bullet gives transfer speeds of up to 70 MB/s and names no direction. Where a single undirected number is published on a flash drive it is normally the reading one, and this page reports the figure rather than assigning a direction the maker did not
    Stated write figure
    Not published on the listing — no separate writing figure appears in any of the five bullets, and the 70 MB/s figure is not broken down
    Connector type
    Not published on the listing — neither Type-A nor Type-C is named in the title or the bullets, and no cap or plug is described. The generation is stated and the shape of the plug carrying it is not
    Body design
    A plastic body described as robust — stated in the second bullet, which gives the weight as 8 g and the dimensions as 19 × 65 × 9 mm. No cap, no slider and no retracting mechanism is named
    Keyring provision
    Not published on the listing — no loop and no eyelet appears in any bullet
    Stated ingress rating
    Not published on the listing — no IP code and no water or dust figure is given. The robustness named in the second bullet is a claim about the plastic, not a rating
    Warranty length
    Not published on the listing — no period is stated anywhere on the page

  • Kingston DataTraveler Exodia 128 GB flash drive with a protective cap and a large keyring loop

    Kingston DataTraveler Exodia, 128 GB, USB 3.2 Gen 1 stated, cap and keyring loop

    The shortest listing on this shelf by a distance — three bullets, every one of them about the shell — with a generation in the title and not a single figure to put against it.

    Capacity
    128 GB — stated in the title and carried in the part number itself, DTX/128GB. A decimal figure from the maker, reported here as printed
    USB generation
    USB 3.2 Gen 1 — stated in the title as USB-Stick 3.2 Gen 1. No bullet repeats it, and no backward-compatibility note appears
    Stated link rate
    Not published on the listing — no gigabits per second and no megabytes per second appear in the title or in the three bullets. The generation stands alone
    Connector type
    Not published on the listing — the second bullet names a protective cap for the USB plug without saying whether that plug is Type-A or Type-C, and the title names neither. It is the only drive in this hub whose connector shape is left unstated
    Stated read figure
    Not published on the listing — no reading figure appears in any form
    Stated write figure
    Not published on the listing — no writing figure appears either. The page carries three bullets and none of them is about speed
    Body design
    A capped body — stated in the second bullet, which names a practical protective cap for the plug. The third bullet adds that several colours are offered and that which colour you get depends on the capacity ordered
    Keyring provision
    A large eyelet for attaching to a keyring — stated in the first bullet, which is the opening claim of the whole listing. It is the only keyring provision published on this shelf
    Stated ingress rating
    Not published on the listing — no IP code and no water or dust figure appears. The cap named in the second bullet is offered as protection for the plug, which is not a rating
    Warranty length
    Not published on the listing — no period is given anywhere on the page

    • The only drive on this shelf that publishes a keyring loop, and it leads with it
    • A cap for the plug, named as a feature rather than left to the photograph
    • No speed figure of any kind, in either direction

    Best for: A drive that lives on a keyring and gets lost if it does not, where the loop and the cap are the specification that actually decides the purchase.

  • Gewiss pure white cable trunking of 40 by 60 mm supplied as twelve two-metre bars

    Gewiss 40 × 60 mm channel, 12 bars of 2 m for 24 m, pure white

    Twenty-four metres in twelve bars, and a description four lines long that names no material, no fixing method and no lid — and gives the brand twice, differently.

    Internal width
    Not published on the listing — 40 mm is given in the title and repeated in the first bullet, with nothing said about whether it is measured inside the channel or across the outside
    Internal height
    Not published on the listing — 60 mm is given with the same ambiguity, and no wall thickness appears that would separate the two figures
    External dimensions
    40 × 60 mm — the figures the listing publishes, in the title and in the first bullet. Two other listings on this shelf publish the same pair, one of them in the opposite order, and none of the three says which measurement it is
    Fixing method
    Not published on the listing — no adhesive, no screws and no pre-punched base is named anywhere in the title or in the four bullets. It is the only listing on this shelf that does not say how the channel stays on the wall
    Hinged or lidded profile
    Not published on the listing — no lid, cover, hinge or closure is described. The second bullet gives the product type as a cable management cover, which names a function rather than a mechanism
    Length per piece
    2 m — stated in the title and in the first bullet, both of which describe the pack as bars of two metres
    Pack quantity
    Twelve bars, 24 metres in total — stated in the title and repeated in the first bullet. It is the longest supply on this shelf by a clear margin
    Accessories supplied
    Not published on the listing — no bends, T-pieces, couplers or end caps are named
    Material
    Not published on the listing — no PVC and no material of any kind appears. The second bullet gives the product type as a cable management cover and the fourth gives the colour, and neither says what the channel is made of
    Colour
    Pure white — stated in the title and in the fourth bullet, which gives the colour on its own line

  • EDO white PVC cable trunking of 60 by 40 mm with a hinged click-fastening lid

    EDO 60 × 40 mm channel, 2 m, click-fastening hinged lid, screw or plug mounting

    The one listing on this shelf that argues against adhesive rather than offering it, with a lid that clicks shut so cables can be added to a finished run.

    Internal width
    Not published on the listing — 60 mm is given as the width in the title and never described as an internal or an external measurement. No wall thickness is published
    Internal height
    Not published on the listing — 40 mm is given as the height, with the same ambiguity
    External dimensions
    60 × 40 mm — the figures the listing publishes, carried here because the page never states which measurement they are. Two other listings on this shelf publish the same pair of numbers
    Fixing method
    Screws or wall plugs — stated in the third bullet, which is the only place on this shelf where a maker argues the point: it names screw fixing as offering maximum stability compared with self-adhesive solutions, and recommends it where a reliable fixing and a heavier cable load matter
    Hinged or lidded profile
    Hinged, with a click fastening — the title names a Klappdeckel, a hinged lid, and the fifth bullet describes a cover with a click closure that opens and shuts quickly so cables can be added or rearranged without dismantling the run
    Length per piece
    2 m — stated in the title
    Pack quantity
    Not published on the listing — the title gives a length of 2 m and no bullet says how many pieces make that up or whether more than one is supplied
    Accessories supplied
    Not published on the listing — no bends, T-pieces, couplers, end caps or screws are named anywhere on the page
    Material
    PVC — stated in the second bullet, which calls it high-quality PVC with a stable construction that resists deformation
    Colour
    White — stated in the title. The fourth bullet adds that the channel is also available in dark anthracite

  • kinkaivy white self-adhesive cable trunking kit with six lengths and a set of corner connectors

    kinkaivy 30 × 17 mm channel, 6 pieces of 400 mm, adhesive tape or screws, 13 connectors supplied

    The only kit on this shelf that puts both fixing methods in the same box — a clear mounting tape and twelve screws with anchors — alongside thirteen connectors for the corners.

    Internal width
    Not published on the listing — 30 mm is given as the width of the channel in the title and again in the first bullet as B30mm, and neither says whether it is measured inside the channel or across the outside of it. The two differ by the wall thickness, which is a real difference at this section
    Internal height
    Not published on the listing — 17 mm is given as the height, in the title and as H17mm in the first bullet, with the same ambiguity. No wall thickness is published that would let the two be separated
    External dimensions
    30 × 17 mm — the figures the listing publishes, carried here because the page never states which measurement they are. The first bullet writes them as B30mm and H17mm against a length of L400mm
    Fixing method
    Both — the second bullet names a clear PE mounting tape supplied free for fixing without damaging the wall, and screws and anchors as the alternative. The first bullet counts them: 12 screws and 12 anchors in the box. It is the only kit on this shelf that supplies both methods
    Hinged or lidded profile
    Not published on the listing — no lid, no hinge and no click closure is described. The channel is called a concealer throughout and how it opens is never stated
    Length per piece
    400 mm — stated in the first bullet as L400mm. It is the shortest piece length on this shelf, where the other six are supplied in one-metre and two-metre lengths
    Pack quantity
    Six pieces — stated in the title, which gives the total as 2.4 M for 6 pieces, and in the first bullet, which lists 6× the 400 mm length
    Accessories supplied
    13 connectors of various kinds, 12 screws, 12 anchors and one installation guide — stated in the first bullet. The connector types are counted but not itemised, which is the difference between this kit and the one other listing on this shelf that names each piece
    Material
    PVC — stated in the title
    Colour
    White — stated in the title. The fourth bullet adds that the channel can be painted to match the wall colour
