For 32 dollars, the Sandisk just blows this out of the water. Just look at those reviews. Funny enough, there are only 2 reviews for the Kingston. :(
Work has been busy these days so I'm not as active on here. Perhaps it is shitty marketing on Kingston, but 2 reviews vs 2k reviews. In this case, even if the Kingston is much better value, I would still buy the mostly reviewed one for peace of mind. (Albeit we all know USB drives don't break much)
But rest assured I'm still here and there and checking some items. I just don't comment as much. If you log the amount of time I spent on Massdrop last year...LOL
Thanks for the ask, Cheers B.Hutch!
The smallest unit for digital information in computer science is the bit (b). A millibit (mb) doesn't really exist, that would imply a smaller unit then one bit. There is a "millibit" in the bitcoin mining community, and 1 millibit is 0.001 BTC (bitcoins). The "millibit" is an ad-hoc naming convention and is not recognized as an SI standard. And it is never referred to as "mb".
For storage, like hard drives, SSDs and flash drives, a megabit (Mb) is one million bits (1000000 b). Mb and Mbit have the same meaning. A megabyte (MB) is one million bytes (1000000 B). A byte (B) is a unit that consists of 8 bits (b). So 1 B = 8 b.
The reason why formatted capacity is always less then "physical" capacity is that the OS considers 1 MB = 1048576 B, and not 1000000 B like storage companies do. So a lot of capacity is lost after "formatting".
So, your choices are Mb/s or MB/s. But please take into consideration that 350 Mb/s is approximately 44 MB/s and an USB 3.0 flash drive that is only capable of that is a really slow flash drive.
