Question 1

What does the listing mean by "reversible plug"?

Accepted Answer

Hi there,

The Type-C USB Flash Drive has a USB-C connection, which means there isn't a 'right side up' way for it to be plugged in!

Question 2

How can i find out if the usb-c connector on my devices is reversible?

Accepted Answer

all USB type C connections and ports are reversible..

while UBC-C connectors and ports is usually used with Gen 3.2 gen 2x1, it is not the only speed standard it can be used for.. (and there are many different standards all having changing similar names.. check wikipedia's articles on usb and specifically usb 3.0 both for charts to show the difference (the first chart on the main usb page isn't fully correct in regards to current naming, see the 3.0 page).. sigh. there are actually four speed standards currently under the 3.2 banner and no, 3.1 or 3.0 as those are now defunct names basically, tho still used in ads) ranging from 20Gbits/s (3.2 gen 2x2) to what was known as both 3.0, 3.1 gen 1 (advertisers will just put 3.1 but it's really 3.0 or current name 3.2 gen 1, they are all the same speed and standard, lol. sigh), and now called 3.2 gen 1x1 (shown as just gen 1 usually) at 5 Gbits/s

and type C can handle them all and much more.. but some can also come in type A, B, and Micro - B connectors as well (3.2 gen 1x1 5Gbits/s, 3.2 gen 2x1 10Gbits/s) but it's the connector of the future and will be as it has a lot of future proofing like HDMI did (which is why you didn't have to change connectors to do 4k, but the cable material might of been substandard to the higher speeds due to tighter tolerances, so still needed to upgrade it but it was still the same connector and could still be used just not get the absolute sharpest of picture possible)

so.. the type - c connector is going to be the standard of the future, it's just going to take some time to introduce it.. there needs to be more and more products using it.. to keep backwards compatibility and older devices functional.. it's been a long time since it was first introduced actually,

the upcoming usb 4 will exclusively use the type C and give 40Gbit/s and 80Gbit/s in transfer speeds.. (as well in another confusing naming screw up, there's also a 20Gbit/s one that's the same speed as 3.2 gen 2x2.. sigh... i mean.. c'mon! tho most probably usb 4 will come to mean 40 and 80gb/s.. and it's also totally compatible with apple's thunderbolt 3 standard apparently.. apple has been forced via a court case or legislation to comply to usb c connections rather than it's proprietary lightning connector and already has USB 4 on several specific high end versions of it's devices since 2020 for added compatibility (fighting the apple monopoly to drain your wallet dry).. but also thunderbolt 4 is coming.. but will use type c I think..

it's a mess. it didn't have to be... but it is.. lol.

there are so many usb connections... A, B, micro of a, b and an ab combo plus a mini version of those three. and then there's the type C... (then there's thunderbolt/lightning (very very frightening.. Galileo!) from apple..) but it looks as if type C is gonna phase out a lot of the others eventually.. but probably not really... as you don't need a high speed port for a mouse or keyboard or other simple device when a 3.2 gen 1 (3.0) will suffice (or even a 2.0 which cases and motherboards still provide as well).

hopefully, they wont screw up this next nam-OHWAITTOOLATE

Question 3

I see a pair of holes in the package.  Is there a metal ring that could be used to pair the cover to the base?

Accepted Answer

I doubt a single small ring would work, but I placed rings on a string, also with a USB adapter -- which works well. See video.

Question 4

Can you attach a leash to the drive so it can't be lost easily?

Accepted Answer

There's not any fixture to it that can you can attach a leash to, I'm afraid, other than the USB connector, itself.  And you're right, the biggest concern I have about this little gem is LOSING IT!!  I would try to wrap something around it to do so, but I have been carrying it around loose in my pocket, in the meantime, so I'm being reckless....but it's a great little storage device with a BIG capacity.  Luck.
