Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

In general, 90% of people, I think, will be satisfied.

If we compare with other flash drives that I took (fast budget ones for 32 and 16), then here in the 128 version the characteristics are better. But not as much better as more expensive. If the price doesn’t matter to you, and scratches don’t bother you, and it’s not difficult for you to get the strap yourself, or you are too lazy to look for normal flash drives from cheap ones, then I recommend buying it. If some of this is not there, then I don’t know, I don’t know . The main thing is not to take pseudo 3.0 / 3.1 flash drives, otherwise, there are good speeds even for 300.

Pros

Well, so far this flash drive is the fastest among those tested in terms of small-block recording (writes 110 files per second). Claimed 300 meters per second reads with linear reading. Compact piece of metal

Cons

Once stuck into the port, pulled out - there are scratches on the flash drive. Do not take a dark color, maybe in a light one it's not so bad with it. Strap may not be included. Linear recording for the 128GB version is 40 meters per second. The indicator corresponds to a new generation of flash drives, but I won’t say for cheap ones that it’s worse with this (30 meters for a successful flash drive for 290r, and 18 meters per second for a not very successful one for 450r). For its price, I wanted better characteristics for small-block recording, but 110 files per second is 20-50 times more than the previous generation of flash drives, and most people will be ok. Small-block reading was an unpleasant surprise - about 300 files per second (the other two tested cheaper ones had 500 and 1000). But this is a trifle that essentially does not matter, more than 100 and okay.
