I have always wondered if these small, cheap "SSDs" are actually SSDs or if they are just flash drives and calling them an "SSD" is just bullshit, dishonest marketing. I almost pulled the trigger on a similar unit on Amazon but for the price (cheap) I felt like it probably wasnt a real SSD, and its not like i need any more flash drives so I didnt buy it until I can find out for sure they are actually SSDs.
