Good value for money, I recommend it.

Made my decision based on online feedback and my familiarity with the brand. I thought it was a flash disk with a bootable operating system but now I'm not sure.
My 16GB Transcend J780 flash drive is 5 years old, and it can only write at 33Mb/s while reading at 170Mb/s.
Therefore, I suggest this one to people who want the greatest option.
I don't know if the manufacturing process for flash drives changed, or if you need a USB3.1 port to get the advertised transfer rates.
Keep in mind, though, that the J790 will outperform the J780 in terms of the write speed of random tiny blocks, at 1Mb/s as opposed to 0.2Mb/s.
My speed is not shown, but the USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface is, and the packaging image does not match the product within.
PS. A later test demonstrated a typical Windows 7 write speed of 35Mb/s.

It appears that the cost of a flash drive is still relevant, with higher-priced options being of higher quality.
I snagged this deal since I was in need of a cheap bootable USB flash drive and wanted to use it to transfer videos.

Pros

Nice form, however it's clearly made of plastic. I can only speak to its performance in laboratory conditions because I have not utilized it in practice.

Cons

You'll need to hold it while you slide it into the port because the retractable mechanism is so feeble. Interestingly, the test results show a very slow sequential write speed of 15MB/s, with a much higher read speed of 79MB/s, when using the USB3.0 connection. This agrees with the USB2.0 entry and contradicts the many reviews available. AliExpress will host comparative dimensions. I retook the tests on a different Win7 and got different results; the reading speed is now 85Mb/s and the writing speed is 35Mb/s, both of which are improvements. System firewood is likely involved.
