Comment on I benchmarked 6 different metal USB sticks

Wow, great work!
Due my own personal bad habits, I fear I wouldn’t see 12 years out of most of those because of the lack of caps. A lot of random stuff ends up in my pocket when I’m doing projects. Screws and other things that will not have happy fun times with bare type A pins.

You’d be surprised! That old USB key has gone through the washing machine several times by accident and survived.
Also, the gap on a usb stick is pretty small and the pins reach quite deep, so unless you’re dealing with M3’s or smaller I doubt that the screws will end up in there.

Yeah, I mostly deal in m3 screws for my projects which, I know from experience, do get caught in type-A plugs.

Fair enough. For what it’s worth, the Corsair GTX has a cap that stays on fairly well.
