It's not about the fastest drive, it's about the build quality. . .

In short, the thing doesn't work well with a USB3.1 drive, but damn it's designed like a β–ˆβ–ˆing tank. :β€’ The processing quality is very good. It feels like your hands are going to cramp trying to bend this thing in half, and it's a good weight that most flash drives don't have. It's felt. I wouldn't shy away from using it as a bottle opener, although it's a bit small to grab hold of for that. The "box cutter" aspect seems to work decently, as the tip is thinner than a key (which we all know is great for opening boxes), but still isn't sharp enough to use as a blade to be considered. CONS: β€’ It's actually not the fastest long-distance ride. For the price it's not surprising and I didn't buy it with that expectation, but it's still a relatively "furry" speed. So yes. I bought this disc to replace a flimsy sandisk that I left at someone's home after work. I liked the novelty that it's a kind of multifunctional tool; I thought he looked unique, and whether he was really good at those things or not, I was willing to try. To my surprise, it feels very solid in the hand, which is not surprising considering the unibody is said to be made of steel (many teamgroup sticks). That being said, I'd be tired of putting this thing in the same pocket as your smart device since most phone cases are made out of aluminum. Amazing flash drive in terms of build quality, enough for me to give a review.
