Good value for money, I recommend.

As it happens, I just finished a review of a 128 GB Silicon Power Marvel M01 flash drive. Reading large files consistently at this location is around 100 Gb/s, and writing any files is at 25 Mb/s, thus the speeds are considerably more consistent. Even while both flash drives are heated roughly the same, and maybe, the one used to read and the one used to write both begin and end with health, but not with peace. Silicon Power is somewhat more potent. This SanDisk flash drive is a bit more expensive than the alternative. This flash drive's sole benefit over Silicon Power's is a more consistent reading speed for files of all sizes, from the tens of Kb/s to the several Mb/s. Although I put 4 on each, that flash drive is superior and less expensive.

Pros

Large file reading speeds can be anywhere from 70 MB/s to 160 MB/s. It's still functional after only light use for a few months.

Cons

Large file reading speeds begin at around 150–160 MB/s but decline to around 70 MB/s after a few seconds (after reading around 3–4 GB). From 1-2 MB/s (and even less) to 50-60 MB/s, the rate at which small files are read varies wildly. The initial write speed is approximately 60 MB/s, or slightly higher; however, after recording approximately 2 GB, the write speed decreases to approximately 30–40 MB/s, and after recording an additional 2 GB, the write speed decreases to approximately 20 MB/s. While I don't find the lack of a cap to be particularly frightening, it is preferable that there be one.
