    I don’t think it is when cheap thumb drives are well above this and the phones are north of $1k.

      The solid state storage in your average iPhone or high end android phone is a LITTLE BIT different from a shitty thumbdrive

        Not really. Slightly faster? Sure. Hundreds of dollars faster? Absolutely not. You can get fast thumb drives for only a slight premium over the cheapest ones, which aren’t even that slow these days. They’re all solid state storage, dunno why you made that distinction.

          A cheap off-brand SATA SSD is infinitely better than any USB flash drive. Storage in phones is insanely better than standard SATA SSDs. What are you even talking about?!
