Netac write protected Netac USB flash drive


Recommended Posts

I'm looking on Amazon to purchase some USB drives with write protection switches to put some Windows 10 setup's on. Sad thing there is only a 1 or 2 companies that make them any more. I did see this one for the first time, Only $8.99 for 8GB. Has anyone ever used this brand before?

Netac? U235 USB 2.0 8GB Write Protection Flash Drive

So I was going to post this on a write protected USB thread but looks like I already created a thread about this USB drive. So I thought I'd update everyone. I've been using these USB drives now since 2015. I'm really happy with them. What sets them apart is the write protected switch that they have.

 

So I can now recommend them to anyone else looking for a write protected USB flash drive.

 

I just ordered a 10 pack of the 8GB model.

 

Becuase I know have owned them, I have changed the title of the thread.

Hello,

 

I've used Kanguru in the distant past and found they worked, too.

    • Your first comment about one needing to send all their data to Microsoft's "cloud" to continue Windows 10 support was of course ridiculous but I can't disagree here. I am not sure why the OP would wait to switch to Linux if their Mom just uses a browser as she can use the same one with Linux. Why would she care what OS is running? Install /configure Linux Mint or Ubuntu LTS and almost no maintenance really.
    • Seagate Exos 20 TB BarraCuda 16 TB 7200 RPM CMR hard disk drives are limited-time deals by Sayan Sen Currently, there are some great sales on SSDs, in particular, NVMe M.2 ones, like this SK hynix P41 Platinum P41. However, if you are in the market for a hard disk drive (HDD), then Seagate has you covered. That is because two high-capacity drives, the Exos X20 20TB and the BarraCuda 16 TB are currently at great prices (purchase links down below). Since both of them are high capacity models, they are based on CMR or Conventional Magnetic Recording technology which is typically great for robust use cases like on NAS or (media) home servers and similar such scenarios. However, the Exos is enterprise-grade quality so it is definitely what you would want for 24x7 usage, but the BarraCuda can also serve pretty well but will be a better option for backup purposes. The Exos X20 promises power-on hours of 8760 per year, while the BarraCuda claims 2400. The latter comes with double the DRAM cache, though with 512 MB of it, while the former has 256 MB, but it should still be plenty. In terms of data transfer speed, Seagate promises up to 285 MB/s (272 MiB/s) from the Exos X20 and the BarraCuda is rated for up to 190 MB/s. These are the maximum sustained data transfer rates for the two drives. Since the Exos X20 is an enterprise-class product Seagate does disclose its random performance throughput, which is 168 IOPS for reads and 550 IOPS for writes, respectively. While the BarraCuda's randoms are not specified it is expected to be lower and to compensate, it packs double the DRAM cache.

    • Why do you think the writing is on the wall? Tesla continues to have the highest selling models on the planet, and they continue to grow on that despite their junk reliability rating. I'm not going to buy one because of the continued build quality issues (and lack of Carplay), but I appreciate that they're the best player in an EV market that is massively lacking in infrastructure and affordability. Besides the EV technology needing to eventually outpace gasoline, self-driving technology is undoubtedly going to be the future. It's not going to happen tomorrow and not even in 10 years, but within our lifetimes, most cars on the road will be self-driving. That's the only way to solve the issue of a million deaths on the road. Waymo is using technology that's simply too expensive, which means it has to charge high fares. Tesla is going to blow past them with their ~$40k car and further yet when they release that weird looking 2-seater. Pretty soon Nvidia is going to be a market player, Amazon will be a player, and possibly the other 20+ startups that are working on a vehicle. I'd like to revisit this in a year and see how the market looks. I'm willing to bet there will be a huge increase of driverless cars on the road, and I doubt that Waymo is going to be the majority of them. Waymo isn't profitable for Google, so it's entirely possible the plug gets pulled as soon as several players leave them in the dust.
