Performs its functions, nothing unusual.

This is the same narrative as the one where the author states that the copy speed decreases when set to 0. Taken from a dedicated forum dealing with a similar issue about a different flash drive, the standard response is as follows: "a bad flash drive puts part of the file into the buffer, then saves it from the buffer to disk, and so on until it copies the entire file." The recording consequently "jerks" for this reason.

Pros

price

Cons

I ran tests on various PCs, using various file systems (NTFS, FAT32, exFAT), and cluster sizes, and the highest speed I was able to obtain was 14.7 MB/s when recording. If you want to fill a 128 GB flash drive completely, you'll need at least 3.5 hours.
