I wish I had gotten one sooner.

Finally, earlier this month, I was able to put away my sandwich bag full of flash drives. If you're constantly writing ISO files to USB sticks and occasionally trying to get them to work, and have old laptop hard drives lying around gathering dust, it's worth every penny. I haven't used more than one flash drive since I got this. It came with the latest firmware already installed, but I flashed it to a FAT/exFAT firmware instead of NTFS to make it easier for me to boot to the ISO folder when using Linux. I have about 90GB of different ISOs in my ISO folder with an old 500GB drive that I would never use in it. What a lifesaver. I've used it to install the operating system on at least a dozen different computers since I got it. This really is an amazing and invaluable tool if you're the kind of person who has more flash drives than you can keep track of and they wear out on a regular basis. The jog system isn't that bad, but sometimes I wonder if I might accidentally break it. Otherwise it's a very strong feeling. High quality USB cable included. I like to keep it in the case it comes in because the metal case scratches easily. It looks like the price hasn't really changed since it was released in 2016, so I'm really mad at myself for not finding out sooner as I've been chewing through $100 on flash drives since then.
