Still, given that SATA itself tops out at 6 Gbps, I doubt the performance difference will be too significant. On many systems, USB-C ports tend to support Gen 2 and USB-A ports tend to be limited to Gen 1, but there also examples of USB-C ports that only do Gen 1 and USB-A ports that do Gen 2.
Both USB-C and USB-A can support USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) and USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps). USB-C won't necessarily be faster than USB-A, though.

Dell publishes manuals on, complete with step-by-step guides for removing and replacing every component of the system if you ever need to do that. The documentation of your system should tell you what your mysterious small port is. The downside is that exFAT isn't bootable in either BIOS or UEFI mode. Most flash drive seem to ship pre-formatted for exFAT these days since it's the only file system that's read/write on all reasonably recent OSes without any third-party tools AND supports files larger than 4GB (WinXP doesn't get to join the exFAT party).
I've never had an issue with those flash drives being recognized and used directly by the Rescue Media wizard, or any other brand of flash drive I've tried, for that matter - as long as it's set up using MBR and either FAT32 and NTFS rather than GPT and/or exFAT.

And, of course, I'd have to test that Reflect recognized it, both in Windows and in WinPE. I just don't know if I can boot from it/Reflect will format it for booting. If it's not, I can still use the Type A cable. I just don't know if this one small port on my Dell is a Type C connector or not. And there's the possibility I can get faster USB 3.1 speeds with the Type-C cable. It's got Type A and Type C USB 3.1 cables so I know I can use it. I've been thinking of trying this Samsung SSD HDD. So, I figure, for just $15 more, I can potentially double the maximum read/write speeds. And there was a $15 less model, too, from PNY but it had half the maximum supported read and write speeds. I just didn't want to put down $100 on a 512 GB USB 3.0 flash drive from a brand I had never used before/never heard of before only to discover it's junk. PNY have been successful candidates for me for Reflect Rescue Media in the past, so I have hopes for this model. This PNY model is the first 512 GB model I've seen from a brand I trust. I generally have been getting the 256 GB S75 USB 3.0 Lexar and had been hoping for them to make a 512 GB model. That's why I generally chose Lexar because every single Lexar flash drive bar 1 I threw at Reflect would be accepted. I got a 128 GB SanDisk Cruzer USB 3.0, I think it was, earlier in the year and Reflect wouldn't accept it for writing the Rescue Media to. Yes, I don't like SanDisk flash drives because I don't think I ever got one to be recognized by Reflect as a possible candidate for making Rescue Media with. Hopefully you get your answer, but if you don't and you don't want to roll the dice, if you can live with "just" 256GB flash drives, those two SanDisk models I mentioned should serve you well. Still, $120 for 512GB of storage with high-ish write speeds is a great deal. It's physically quite a bit longer than the PNY unit you linked and it tops out at 256GB, but its write speeds are also quite a higher, which seems to be the differentiator for flash drives these days and is what drew me to that model.

My current models are the SanDisk Ultra Flair for infrequent, low capacity, and low performance use cases like Rescue Media and the like, and then an Extreme Pro USB 3.1 flash drive for higher capacity and/or higher performance use cases since it's basically an SSD on a stick in terms of performance. I use primarily SanDisk flash drives and have never once had a problem booting from any of them on any of the several PCs I've used them with, both Legacy BIOS and UEFI mode. Interesting that you've had trouble with SanDisk flash drives. So, I know some flash drives can't be used as Rescue Media. And I know some flash drives, like most SanDisk ones I've had, I've never gotten to work as Rescue Media flash drives for various reasons. Does anyone know, from actual experience using one, if the PNY Pro Elite 512GB USB 3.0 Premium Flash Drive P-FD512PRO-GE can be used as a Rescue Media target? This kind of flash drive: I'm thinking of trying one out, but I believe I've had PNY flash drives in that past that could not be used as Rescue Media flash drives with Reflect because it said there were no available partitions for use.
