I bought before (in February 2022) 2 pieces of exactly the same flash drives - earth and sky compared to this one. The read speed is about the same, although more than this one, but the write speed is simply tens of times greater. I specially did a lot of tests in various modes and this flash drive showed itself nowhere worse. I am attaching a photo of the tests of all three flash drives. The last three photos of this were bought here in 2023. Recording performance in comparison is nowhere worse. That's how the quality dropped in a year. Moreover, the last two photos are the best results both in the NTFS and exFAT file systems.
