A SanDisk unit produced results that were much better in all areas including churning out 10MB+ results on the 4K writes.

This was using Crystal DiskMark 5.

I won't get into the complaints around the same time about issues with that drive and it's infant mortality issues.
Hey David,

Thanks for the reply.

What kind of flash drive would you suggest? I see that SanDisk has a bunch of 3.0s and 3.1s of varying models, and I have NO clue what to do for a external hard drive.

If I was looking for a 128gb and a 256gb usb flash drive, what should I go with?

Or is there a single external hard drive to do both?

And won't that kill my Calibre library?
