I bought the 8GB model. The upside, of course, is the great security features, but it's also the fastest USB drive I've ever used. Booting the computer from a hard drive (such as live Linux distributions, emergency antivirus disks, or MemTest86) had mixed results; While I was able to boot an Asus P8Z77-V LK motherboard and a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop, I couldn't get the old Gigabyte P35-DS3L to recognize it as a boot device despite having multiple USB ports (front and rear). back) tried and changed BIOS settings. To be fair, this Gigabyte motherboard is very controversial and refuses to boot many other drives I've tried. Here are the speeds I got in CrystalDiskMark (values in MB/s): sequential read 169.5; serial write 55.1; 512K reads 136.9; 512K depreciation 49.2; 4K Read 14.0; 4K writes 4.3; 4K QD32 reading 15.5; 4K QD32 writes 4.4. Test conditions: 500 MB file, 2 attempts; Windows 7 64-bit; USB 3.0 port on the front of the Asus P8Z77-V LK motherboard.

The detent, if any, is no stronger than the friction of the switch, so there's no tactile feedback when you slide it to alert you This also gives the impression that the switch could easily be inadvertently moved while the disc is being processed, although I have to admit I didn't particularly notice this (but I only use it occasionally and keep it in the drawer. Normally. The switch can also be slightly in an indefinite "middle" position. Due to the black-on-black color and the fact that even between If there is a gap between the switch and the housing cutout when fully placed, it is difficult to see at a glance. I would like to see what position the switch is in. In future models, I'd like to see a solid, high-quality switch that clicks clearly and gives a clear indication of where it's at. I wanted to clarify what exactly bothers me. It seems like a really cheap switch for such an expensive product. But that's a relatively small detail. Don't let that put you off buying it - it's still a great product.
