While similar in price to the cheapest available 256GB USB thumb drives it is an order of magnitude faster. The read speed for a similarly-priced 256GB thumb drive is "up to 100MB/s" and cowardly unlisted write speeds vs this NVMe drive @ 1250MB/s read and 480 MB/s write. Now, I know what you're saying, that's terrible for a NVMe drive and it's less than they advertise! Maybe so but the price/performance ratio is fantastic currently. Also, the read speeds are 2x what any SATA-based SSD will ever see.The reason for the limited speeds is that this enclosure uses the Phison PS5008-E8 controller which only connects 2x of the 4x PCIe lanes. You lose half of your 4000MB/s bandwidth immediately. You'll lose some more to overhead and you're looking at a max of around 1600MB/s read and 1100MB/s write according to various review sites. The great thing here though is that you can replace the flash! Can you do that with a thumb drive? Finally, it is likely that this enclosure doesn't need active cooling unlike other TB3/NVMe enclosures that throttle down when they overheat.Finally, if I knew my relatives had TB3 ports (they ignored my laptop recommendations so I know they don't) I would buy all of the remaining stock as gifts. I'm considering buying the rest anyway and using them as backup or transfer devices... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/166217169-pocket-vault-express-pvx-portable-pcie-gen-3-40gbps-thunderbolt](https://www.desertcart.it/products/166217169-pocket-vault-express-pvx-portable-pcie-gen-3-40gbps-thunderbolt) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
