Use the appropriate connector with a compatible computer or other host, copy files to the drive and eject it safely before removal. An HP-licensed x796C family datasheet quotes up to 100 MB/s read and 58.2 × 18.3 × 8.6 mm at 15.8 g. That is a maximum family rating, not a guaranteed transfer rate for every computer or file.
The x796C family is backward compatible with USB 2.0 at lower speed. Formatted usable capacity is below the nominal 128 GB.
The dual connections are useful when a work computer and another device provide different USB sockets. Select the appropriate end and use a supported file system, then safely eject the drive before moving it. Backward USB 2.0 operation allows an older compatible computer to access the files at a lower link speed.
