I'm very happy with the product, it's very satisfying.

We are talking about a version with 64GB of memory and USB 3.2 (new flash drives come in 3.2. This 3.1 was renamed recently). I've been using it for less than a week, so I can't say anything about reliability.
I took it for various tasks, as a Windows installer, for watching videos on TV, and other stuff. For these tasks, this is a great option.
I benchmarked CrystalDiskMark 7.0 first in native FAT32 format, the results were ~48MB/s for 1MB sequential read, ~20MB/s for 1MB sequential write, and ~7MB/s for 4KB random read and write. I forgot to make a screenshot.
Then I formatted it in exFAT, and then the flash drive revealed itself. I tested with different clusters, the results are the same, so I settled on "4096 bytes". The numbers are stable, you can see this by looking at the screenshots.
I don’t know how processor power affects flash drive speed testing in CrystalDiskMark, but if anyone is interested, I already have an old i7 4710HQ mobile processor.

Pros

- High read speed, acceptable write speed. - Doesn't heat up. Even after several runs in the tester in a row, the heat was barely felt (offhand 50-55 degrees maximum). - Retractable design. Forget cap losses. - Price. ~450r for 64GB of memory is very budget.

Cons

- Housing made of cheap plastic. When shaken, it sounds like a rattle. But in view of the advantages listed above, this does not matter at all. As an option, there is ADATA U150, where the case with a cap looks more serious at the same cost and filling (they are identical inside).

The declared speed does not withstand. 3.0 she does not have close. The write speed is about 12 Mb/s. Four months later, it stopped being determined by computers, passed it under warranty. Money back. Draw your own conclusions.

Has pros: Pretty, large size at a modest price Has some cons Zaglyuchila . I had to apply low-level formatting. The case is not flimsy, but the mechanism itself is poorly fixed.
