Over the years, flash drives break, get lost, fill up. Decided to buy a new one for frequent use, inexpensive, not large, not usb 3.0, but fast enough not to turn gray until the information is written to them. The choice fell on this model and I did not lose. The speed performance is very impressive, firstly it is fast, secondly the difference between the speed reading and writing is minimal, thirdly, the speed is not affected by the file system, as is often the case on other flash drives of other brands. Before the recall, for an indicative comparison of characteristics, I tested 19 flash drives. The results are mostly consistent with long-term observations. USB 3.0 will not be taken into account, there the read speed is 5 times or more higher, we look only at USB 2.0. On this flash drive, the speed is 27 / 21. Better I saw only one - Kingston DT R500: 39 / 20. And so, if reading from flash drives is generally 20-25 / 15-18 - already good, but every office has flash drives with a wild skew and slow recording, for example: Apacer 25/4, Verbatim 18/7, Transcend 24/5, Mirex 18/4, Patriot 25/5, Kingston 22/7. SanDisk was very pleased with this model - I will advise my friends. Added - I bought another 64 GB, the speed is slightly worse, but the ratio is also excellent.
