Verbatim Plectra — 512 GB USB-C Flash Drive in White

512 GB capacityUSB Type-C connector49 mm, 8.5 gUSB 3.2 Gen 1

The Verbatim Plectra (article 30231) is a 512 GB flash drive with a USB Type-C connector, 49 mm long and 8.5 g, finished in white. It is made for machines that no longer have a rectangular USB-A port — a current laptop, a tablet, an Android phone — and it holds half a terabyte in something the size of a car key fob. It is plain storage: no encryption, no software, nothing to set up. What you should read before ordering is the note below on speed, because Verbatim publishes only half of it.

Compatibility — check before buying:
This drive has a USB Type-C connector only. It will not fit a standard USB-A port without an adapter, so if any of your machines are older, this is the wrong article — ask us for a Type-A drive or for one with both connectors. Verbatim publishes a read speed of up to 100 MB/s and does not publish a write speed for the Plectra at any capacity. The 100 MB/s figure is also quoted identically for the 64, 128, 256 and 512 GB versions, so treat it as a family figure rather than a measurement of this drive. Distribution data for this line circulates a write figure of around 25 MB/s; Verbatim does not confirm it, so we do not present it as a specification — but the fact that the only number in circulation is that low tells you what to expect. A 512 GB Plectra takes a long time to fill. Verbatim’s own regional sites also disagree about the minimum macOS version — see the compatibility rows below.

Best For

✓ USB-C laptops and tablets with no Type-A port
✓ Android phones that support USB OTG
✓ Carrying a large media or photo library
✓ Archiving files you write once and read often
✓ A pocket drive that matches modern hardware
✓ Handing over a big dataset in one go

Key Features

 
Plugs into modern hardware directly
A USB Type-C connector means no dongle and no adapter on a current laptop, tablet or Android phone. On a machine with only Type-C ports, that is the whole reason this drive exists.
 
512 GB at 8.5 grams
49 x 20.5 x 8.2 mm and 8.5 g. It is one of the smallest ways to carry half a terabyte, and light enough that it does not lever on the port when plugged into a laptop.
 
Nothing to install
No drivers, no software, no account and no setup. Verbatim ships the drive on its own, with no cable and nothing to configure.
 
Its own article number per colour
Verbatim publishes a separate article for each capacity and colour — this is the 512 GB in white, article 30231. Ordering by colour is unambiguous rather than a guess at a suffix.

Warranty & Support
Warranty 1-Year Warranty (Singular)
Manufacturer Term Verbatim states no warranty term on the Plectra product page. Its European warranty policy sets 2 years as the default for products it does not list separately, and USB flash drives are not named as their own category there, so the 2-year figure is the default tier rather than a statement about this article. Singular’s direct warranty is 1 year; beyond that we assist you with the manufacturer’s warranty process, and we will confirm the term with Verbatim in writing if you need it before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my laptop?
Only if it has a USB Type-C port. The Plectra has a Type-C connector and nothing else — there is no fold-out Type-A plug and no adapter in the box. If your machines still use rectangular USB-A ports, ask us for a Type-A drive or for a dual-connector model such as the Transcend JetFlash 930C.
How fast is it really?
Verbatim publishes up to 100 MB/s read and publishes no write speed at all. That read figure is also quoted identically across the whole Plectra range, so it is the family number rather than a measurement of the 512 GB. The write figure circulating in distribution data is around 25 MB/s, which Verbatim does not confirm — but nothing suggests it is faster than that. The honest summary is that this is a capacity drive: fine for storing and reading back files, slow if you are constantly writing to it.
Is the white version different from the black one?
Only in colour. Article 30227 is the 512 GB in black and 30231 is the 512 GB in white; every published specification is the same. Verbatim also lists a blue 512 GB. If a specific colour matters to you, order by the article number rather than by the series name.
Can I use it with my phone?
If the phone supports USB OTG, which most current Android devices do, plug it in and it appears as external storage. iPhones with a USB-C port will also read it, subject to how your iOS version handles external drives in the Files app.
Singular Expert Insight
The Plectra is bought for shape and capacity, not for performance, and that is a reasonable thing to buy. Half a terabyte at 8.5 g with a Type-C plug means no adapter on a modern laptop and no weight in a pocket, and Verbatim numbering each capacity and colour as its own article makes ordering unambiguous. The reason to read carefully is what Verbatim does not publish. There is a read figure of 100 MB/s quoted across the whole range and no write figure whatsoever. When a manufacturer publishes one number and withholds the other, the withheld one is rarely the flattering one, and the only figure in circulation — about 25 MB/s, from distribution rather than from Verbatim — is consistent with that. Store files here and read them back; do not use it as a working disk. And if you have a mix of USB-A and USB-C machines, this is not the drive.

Buyer’s Guide

Buy it if

Your laptop, tablet or phone is USB-C and you want 512 GB in an 8.5 g drive, in white, for storing and carrying files.

Skip it if

Any of your machines still use USB-A, or transfer speed matters — Verbatim publishes only a 100 MB/s read figure and no write speed at all.

Also consider

Transcend JetFlash 930C for both USB-A and USB-C with a published 420 MB/s read and 400 MB/s write, or the black Plectra 30227 if the colour does not matter.
