Looking for USB stick with decent not super 4k random r/w performance

Anandtech has reviewed a few new good ones, but I'm looking for something a little different.

I need to buy several of these, and I only need 32-64GB capacity. Most of the newer ones are 128-256GB and commensurately more expensive.

I would do fine with one that's a couple years older, 32-64GB, and 4k r/w performance that isn't the typical < 1MB/s on cheap USB flash drives.

If I only needed one of these, I would just buy a newer 128GB and be done with it, but because I need to buy several, I really can't afford to spend $60 on each one. I'd rather spend $20-30.

For CPUs, graphics cards, etc, there are sites like anandtech bench which aggregate benchmarks and let you compare. It seems like theres no such thing to research USB flash drives.

All I need is to see Crystal Disk Mark for a bunch of them, and pick something that is a good value.
