Hey there, cats and kittens, Sir Reginald Ventworth III here, your groovy guide to the weird and wild. So, Iām sitting here, listening to some forgotten Steely Dan B-side, and my phone dings. Itās an Amazon deliveryāa GIGASTONE 256GB Dual USB Flash Drive, USB 3.2 Gen 1, 2-in-1 USB C+A, Speed Up to 100MB/s, Head Cap Design Thumb Drive, Plug & Play for Smartphone/PC/Mac/TV/Car Audio, USB 2.0/3.0/3.1 Compatible. $79.99. Now, I didnāt order this. I think my cat did, or maybe my subconscious did after a third glass of cheap Chianti. But here we are.
And let me tell you, the real question isnāt whether this thing can handle 256 gigs of your vacation photos or your bootleg Grateful Dead tapes. The real question is: can you fit this sucker in places no USB drive has gone before? I mean, weāre talking a 2-in-1 USB C+A situation. Thatās two ends, both metal, both designed for data. Or something else. Iām not judging. Iām just saying.
Now, a few friendsāand by friends, I mean the three people who still call meāstarted whispering about a certain rectal use review site. They wanted to know: can you use this for that? Is the GIGASTONE even safe? I mean, itās got a head cap design. Thatās probably not for what youāre thinking, but itās sure not not for what youāre thinking. Let me just say, trying this was a mistake, man. The plastic cap? It pops off with the slightest twist. And the USB-A end? Thatās a real plunge, if you catch my drift.
You see, Iām not saying you should buy this for that purpose. But if youāre looking at the Moleskine USB Flash Drive real review for some reference, or youāre wondering if the GIGASTONE under $79.99 is worth it, well, hereās the thing: it works great for data. Speed up to 100MB/s? Smooth. Plug and play? Yes. But if youāre considering something elseā¦ letās just say this drive is a solid performer in one department and a terrifying one in another. I gave it a spin, and letās just say I now know what 256GB feels like in a place that usually handles much less.
