Two words: not very good

To be clear, I am NOT happy with this Dynon Metrics USB 2.0 flash drive (I have the 32GB slim case). My biggest issue with it is that it's too wide and thick (see attached photos) and therefore barely fits into a standard Type A USB port. The difference seems negligible, but trust me - it was actually the fit realized that I was afraid the drive would damage the ports on my computers if I force it in. Instead of plugging it directly into a USB port on a computer or other on a hub, I plugged it into a Type A USB extender. BTW, this is the second Dynon Metrics stick I've come across that has Type A connector size issues. The other is a dual-connector drive - Type A on one end and Type C on the other - and its Type A connector is shorter than the standard connector and therefore doesn't provide a proper connection in some of them. USB ports on my computers and hubs. Anyway, as for this particular stick, I had another problem when plugging it into the computer: Windows 10 gave the same warning you normally get when you plug in a drive that was previously removed from the computer without reinserting it You do it first. "Safely remove device and media" prompt. So it's not surprising that the operating system required a scan to "fix" possible problems before allowing me to access the Dynon Metrics drive. (Luckily the scan didn't show any problems and I was able to use the drive afterwards.) Of course, this leads me to believe that the drive I received is "used" and not new - I ran a scan. for viruses and the like, just to make sure there's nothing malicious on the drive, and it certainly doesn't do anything to support my opinion of the Dynon Metrics brand. The electronic disc works well. It's a little slow, but again, it's just a USB 2.0 drive. But the functionality doesn't justify the problems with the physical construction of the drive, nor does it compensate for the data indicating the drive was used even though it was sent to me as new. So if you want my advice, I'd avoid that flash drive - or any Dynon Metrics drive - and look elsewhere to store your needs. I mean, there are many high quality and cheap USB drives on the market, so why settle for the potential problems you are likely to encounter when buying a Dynon Metrics drive?
