#2Plug and stay
Hopefully, this has been tested for durability and some MTBF specs are available to prove it.
Otherwise, buyer beware.
EDIT: I couldn't find any MBTF specs so I looked up the "limited warranty" for this product.
There is no warranty of uninterrupted or error-free operation.

#3I’d rather not have something like that poking out. Looks like it’ll ruin the port when for example it hooks behind something

#4I've used a similar drive on my Chromebooks for the last decade.
I went looking for a USB-C version and was surprised not to find one.
I would love to see one with SSD speeds if such a thing is possible.

SSK and Transcend sell USB-C SSD thumb drives with speeds of 1000 MB/s. They're SSDs though, not flash memory, but they are thumb drives, not big boxes.

#6How hot do these things get? I have a few "bar" type USB sticks that get quite warm after even moderate amounts of data transfer.

#7I've pretty much stopped using 'stick' type storage for anything >256MB, as regardless of brand and series, my experience is that these thingies overheat under anything but light write usage, and either slow to a crawl or drop off the USB bus entirely before my copy is finished.
'Credit card' sized SSDs are not that much more inconvenient to carry and store, and don't exhibit any of these issues for me.
And the thermals on these things must be horrible, plus the label makes it look like a knock-off: Sandirk?

#8I was foolish enough to buy SanDisk.
SanDisk flashdrives get extremely hot and die in months.
The warranty process is time consuming and tedious.
I stick to Samsung flashdrives now.

I also wonder if the HDMI port in the stock photo is still easily accessible with this thing plugged in. I hate plug in devices that block other inputs/ports.

Can't say i have the same experiences. The only products to fail me where really really cheap AliExpress devices.
