I have several USB sticks and use them constantly every day. My two main sticks are 256GB PNY drives. Both have problems with Windows 10 and apps like WinMerge. My alternative solution is to put an SSD in the case, which will outperform any flash drive. Even though it's small, it still doesn't fit in my pocket. This prompted me to look for a new drive. I did a lot of research and dared this drive. It paid off. This drive is insanely fast, close to the speed of my USB SSD. You are not full of 400 MB/s spinup. Also, it doesn't have the latency issues that my PNY drives had with Windows 10 and WinMerge.
