ADATA UE800 2TB
Score: 88/100Rankings
This 512 GB ORICO USB-A flash drive offers top-tier read performance and a fully metal, IPX7-rated body, making it suitable for rugged field use, though its weight and lack of write-speed specs limit appeal for some users.
The ADATA UE800 is a high-capacity (up to 2 TB, currently 1 TB) USB-C flash drive delivering near-maximum USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 speeds in a compact brushed-aluminum body. It excels in performance and portability but lacks ruggedness and built-in security features.
