Names its USB generation and never puts a speed against it

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.

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.

On the listing

A 128 GB removable storage medium described as writable and erasable as often as you like, with a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 connection and a USB 3.0/USB 3.1 (Gen. 1) connection named in the same sentence; direct recording and playback of films in Full HD; a reversible USB-C plug, put forward as the end of trying a stick both ways round; a high-grade and robust metal housing; and a box holding one FlashPen called C-Laeta.

One hundred and twenty-eight gigabytes, in the unit the maker prints

The capacity is the one number on this page, and it is the number every drive on this shelf shares.

It is a decimal figure. A gigabyte on a flash drive package is a thousand million bytes; a computer that counts in units of 1024 shows the same memory as something lower, and a file system reserves part of it before you put a single file there. That gap is normal, it is the same proportion on all seven drives here, and it is the reason a drive never displays the number on its own label.

What this page will not do is perform that conversion on Hama’s behalf. The maker publishes 128 GB and this page reports 128 GB.

The read figure and the write figure, both missing

Five bullets, and not one number about speed.

That is worth stating plainly because the two figures a flash drive is judged on are exactly these. The read figure is how quickly it hands files back. The write figure is how long you stand at the machine while it fills, and it is very often a fraction of the read figure on the same drive.

Two of the seven drives in this hub publish a write figure. Two publish neither figure at all, and this is one of them. What is named instead is the generation of the connection — USB 3.2 Gen 1 — which describes what the socket is capable of carrying and says nothing about the memory behind it.

The metal housing, and the two connections named in one sentence

The fourth bullet is the one with something solid in it: a metal shell, called high-grade and robust. No cap is mentioned, no slider, no retracting mechanism, and no dimensions or weight are given, so what the object is like in a pocket has to be taken from the photograph.

The first bullet is the one that needs reading twice. It names a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 connection and a USB 3.0/USB 3.1 (Gen. 1) connection in a single line. Those could be two plugs on one body — a common arrangement on this shelf, where three drives carry Type-A and Type-C at once — or one plug described from two directions. The page does not say which, and neither does the title, which names only Type-C.

Before ordering

Look at the socket you will actually use. If it is Type-C the drive fits, and that is the claim this page supports best. If you need to know how long a large folder will take to copy onto it, that answer is not here in any form, and the third bullet’s promise that the plug goes in either way round is the only performance claim on the page that can be verified by looking at it.

More USB flash drives

  • 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

    • Two drives in one purchase, which is the only pack on this shelf sold that way
    • Names its lane arrangement, Gen 1x1, rather than stopping at the generation
    • The connector shape is never named, in the title or in any bullet

    Best for: A household that keeps losing drives, or a pair of machines that each need one permanently — where having two matters more than having the quickest.

  • 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.

  • Lexar D40E dual 128 GB flash drive in titanium grey with a rotating cap covering a Type-C plug

    Lexar JumpDrive D40E dual drive, 128 GB, Type-A and Type-C, 100 MB/s transfer stated, 26 g

    The most thoroughly measured drive on this shelf — millimetres, grams, an operating temperature range and the definition of its own megabyte — and the only one that never names a USB generation at all.

    Capacity
    128 GB — stated in the title. The second bullet adds the maker’s own definition of the unit, 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes, which is the decimal count the label figure rests on
    USB generation
    Not published on the listing — no 3.0, no 3.1 and no 3.2 appears in the title or in any of the five bullets. The first bullet names USB Type-A and Type-C connectors and the OTG role, which are shapes and a function rather than a generation. It is the only drive in this hub with no generation stated
    Stated link rate
    Not published on the listing — no class rate in gigabits per second is given, which follows from the generation being absent
    Stated read figure
    Not published as a read figure. The second bullet gives transfer speeds of up to 100 MB/s without naming a direction, and adds that performance varies with the host device, the interface and the conditions of use. Where a maker publishes one undirected figure it is normally the reading one, and this page reports the figure rather than assigning it
    Stated write figure
    Not published on the listing — no separate writing figure appears anywhere, and the single 100 MB/s figure is not broken down by direction
    Connector type
    Type-A and Type-C on one body — stated in the first bullet as a 2-in-1 OTG design in a slim, portable form. The title names the Type-C side and the colour, titanium grey
    Body design
    A metal housing measuring 70.4 × 16.9 × 11.7 mm and weighing 26 g — stated in the third bullet, which also gives an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 50 °C (32 °F to 122 °F). The fourth names a cap that rotates through 360° so it swaps between the connectors without ever being removed and lost
    Keyring provision
    Not published on the listing — no loop, eyelet or lanyard is named in any bullet
    Stated ingress rating
    Not published on the listing — no IP code and no water or dust figure appears. The temperature range in the third bullet describes operating conditions and is not an ingress rating
    Warranty length
    Three years, limited — stated in the fifth bullet alongside security software offering 256-bit AES encryption. It is the longest warranty published on this shelf

    • Publishes dimensions to a tenth of a millimetre and a weight, which four listings here never do
    • The rotating cap covers whichever plug is not in use and cannot be mislaid
    • No USB generation anywhere, so the class of link is unstated

    Best for: Carrying between a laptop and a phone in a coat pocket, where the cap that cannot be lost and the 26 g body matter more than a headline rate.

Others worth having spare

  • 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

    • A click-fastening hinged lid, so a finished run can be opened and added to
    • Argues for screw fixing over adhesive and says why, which no other listing here does
    • No pack quantity, so how much arrives for a stated two metres is unclear

    Best for: A permanent run carrying a bundle that will grow — a desk that keeps acquiring equipment — where the lid has to open again without the whole length coming off the wall.

  • 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

    • Supplies both fixing methods in one box, with the screws and anchors counted

    • Never says whether 30 × 17 is the inside or the outside of the channel

    Best for: A first run along a skirting board or up to a wall-mounted television, where the corners are not known in advance and having thirteen connectors to hand matters more than a long straight length.

  • KOMIB pure white cable trunking of 60 by 40 mm supplied as five two-metre lengths

    KOMIB KOMpaniyeh International Business KK6040RW, 60 × 40 mm, 5 lengths of 2 m for 10 m, adhesive backing or screws

    The second longest supply on this shelf, at ten metres in five lengths, described in a single bullet that names neither the material nor how the channel opens.

    Internal width
    Not published on the listing — 60 mm appears twice in the title, once inside the part reference KK6040RW and once as 60 × 40 mm in brackets, and neither says whether it is measured inside or outside the channel
    Internal height
    Not published on the listing — 40 mm is given with the same ambiguity, and no wall thickness appears that would separate the two figures
    External dimensions
    60 × 40 × 2000 mm — stated in the title, which gives the section and the piece length together. The figures are carried at this line because the page never says which measurement they are
    Fixing method
    Both — the single bullet names simple mounting with a self-adhesive backing or with screws, described as flexible in use. No screws, anchors or tape quantities are listed, so what is actually in the box is not stated
    Hinged or lidded profile
    Not published on the listing — no lid, no hinge, no cover and no click closure is described anywhere. The bullet describes the material and the mounting and never the way the channel opens
    Length per piece
    2 m — stated in the title and in the bullet, both of which give five pieces of two metres
    Pack quantity
    Five pieces, ten metres in total — stated in the title twice and in the bullet, and the three statements agree with one another
    Accessories supplied
    Not published on the listing — no bends, T-pieces, couplers or end caps are named. The bullet mentions various sizes and models in the range without listing any accessory
    Material
    Not published on the listing — the bullet says high-quality material, robust and resistant to breakage, deformation and wear, and never names what that material is. The title carries the abbreviation VDE with no standard number beside it
    Colour
    Pure white — stated in the title as Weiß (reinweiß), and again in the bullet, which gives the plain white finish as what lets the channel sit unobtrusively in an interior
