   Just a tad under 4x faster but still +10 minutes of my life gone to testing   
   el-cheapo flash disks.  However one more test as the Leexar has a USB-C male   
   plug on the opposite end of the pen drive.  Is there a difference?

   Slightly faster but nothing to write /home to the mothership about.   
      
   For the record the sata ssd on both the type a and c produced the same result   
   at 395 MB/s transfer rates, which compared to the above rates is   
   astronomically superior if one ignores the cost differential.
