The Netac US9 512GB USB flash drive may be a product type from 2005, but equipped with USB Type-A and USB Type-C ports and promising read and write speeds of up to 1000MB/s, the US9 is thoroughly modern. Did it deliver as promised? I would say so. To start, its dual interface made for great universal compatibility. I like how both are built into the drive, yet still retains a very reasonable form factor of 8.2cm by 2.3cm by 1.0cm. Once plugged in, the Netac US9 512GB USB flash drive delivered portable SSD-level performance both in linear read/write and IOPS-demanding applications. Impressively, all this speed packed in did not result in any thermal throttling according to my tests. I also like the fact it is capless, and its zinc alloy construction feels solid. One thing to pay attention to is the swinging port doors may interfere with adjacent ports when in use, and in my personal opinion, its industrial design still has room for improvement to keep up with the times. For about $50 at press time, USB flash drives may not have a large market in 2025, but if you are looking for one, the Netac US9 512GB offers solid performance along with a 5-year warranty to keep you assured.
