Poor quality, not worth the money.

Gave it to myself for my birthday but had to return it. In this device, despite the fact that it appears to be a flash drive, SMART is implemented. But it is implemented in such a way that it is impossible to look at it without tears. The most important information - the amount of information read and written - is not in it, these fields have zeros. The temperature always shows 8 degrees. Also, according to information from SMART, the flash drive is dead. This would be acceptable if the flash drive cost 1,000. But the most expensive flash drive that money can buy has to be not just flawless, but perfect. Non-working SMART does not allow to call it as such.

The strangest thing is that I have an older model, SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0, which implements a full-fledged SMART. It has been working for four years without any complaints.

Pros

Crazy read and write speeds - both linear and random Pleasant to the touch Warm Retractable connector with the most powerful tactile response and click - like the best buttons on mechanical keyboards 30 years warranty

Cons

SMART shows something inadequate When reading / writing a large amount of data from warm to hot Engraving on aluminum does not adhere well It is defined as a flash drive, and not as a hard drive (for someone, a plus)
