Portable SSDs have been in great demand over the past few years. Thanks to advancements in smartphones, the amount of user-generated content that needs to be backed up or transferred from one device to another has grown exponentially. While native flash controllers are now capable of delivering USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps) speeds with the latest 3D NAND, the ubiquitous thumb drive (aka UFD – USB Flash Drive) has also managed to evolve. Samsung’s MUF-256DA is a compact USB Type-C flash drive that’s available in capacities ranging from 64GB to 256GB, utilising a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5GBps) interface. The UFD presents itself to the host system as a storage device, but doesn’t report temperature or NAND health reporting alongside UASP or TRIM.
