Cant find much info on this, but seems a reasonable price nevertheless.
Edit, could also be the same as the TDK branded ones. I believe both brands have now winded down their consumer business.

Genuine question - why would anyone want this instead of a USB drive of the same capacity?

speed. the cheaper 128gb pen drives are slow at writing data (e.g. 20MBps) an SSD via usb 3 could achieve 200MBps read and write if not more (limited by the speed of the ssd). an equivalent quick pen drive is normally much more expensive

Hot.
Are they compatible with USB 2?

£31 will buy you a very fast 128GB USB3 stick so unless you need something that you can rest your coffee cup on too I don't see the value in this.
But if enough people do then I'll start putting USB sticks in shoe boxes and calling them "External SSDs" too

More than just speed, quality of the flash memory is better, controller is better, better error protection. I bought to store my music on as I don't want it to disappear in a flash (pun intended) and also want it to be transportable.
