Raspberry Pi Flash Drive – USB 3.0 memory stick (128/256 GB)
The Raspberry Pi Flash Drive is a high-quality USB 3.0 flash drive specifically designed for Raspberry Pi computers and other devices with a USB port. With its robust, compact metal housing, it offers reliable performance , high data security, and fast data transfer rates – ideal for data backup, file transfer, operating system downloads, or even booting the system directly from the USB drive .
Available in 128 GB and 256 GB capacities, the flash drive delivers optimized random and sequential I/O performance tailored to the needs of Raspberry Pi users. This makes it suitable not only for hobby project setups but also for professional B2B and industrial applications where reliability, data throughput, and long-term stability are crucial.
The flash drive uses the modern USB 3.0 standard with backward compatibility to USB 2.0 and employs non-volatile flash memory, which securely retains data even after power is disconnected. Support for SMART health reports and TRIM commands monitors the drive's lifespan and optimizes its long-term condition.
Product variants & pre-order
The Raspberry Pi Flash Drive is available in two capacity variants:
-
128 GB – Standard capacity with up to 75 MB/s sequential write performance.
- Delivery date for pre-orders: from 09.02.2026
-
256 GB – Larger capacity with up to 150 MB/s sequential write performance and slightly improved IOPS values.
- Delivery date for pre-orders: from March 2nd, 2026
Both variants use a USB 3.0 Type-A connector, are backward compatible with USB 2.0, and differ mainly in storage capacity and performance peaks with larger data blocks.
