Get a 1TB USB Flash Drive for Less Than $100 Shipped From Newegg via AliExpress

If you're in search of a large storage capacity in a compact form factor, pay attention to the deal now available on AliExpress' Newegg storefront. The TeamGroup C175 1TB USB Flash Drive is being offered for $94.92, including a $12 coupon, making it a competitive price compared to Amazon's $120 listing and Newegg's direct sales.

Measuring slightly over 2 inches long, this USB 3.2 Gen 1 dongle can transfer data at a maximum rate of 100MB/s when connected to a USB 3.0 port, allowing you to move a full 1TB of files in approximately three minutes. The drive maintains compatibility with older USB 2.0 standards, albeit at significantly reduced speeds of around 30MB/s.

Buying a phone number is a distributed transaction

The API makes it look trivial. const number = await carrier . numbers . buy ({ phone_number : " +1... " }); await db . insert ( " rented_numbers " , { user_id , e164 : number .
