Review on Corsair CMFVY3A-256GB Flash Voyager USB Flash Drive | High Speed USB 3.0 | 256GB Storage Capacity by Adrian Retana

Edit: 3/25/21: The drive below is defective. I just did a transfer on an identical drive at 100Mbps. I still haven't gotten over my grudge against Corsair for replacing the original budget Voyager with the cheaper Voyager X-1. However, I have over 100 USB sticks and for value for money the drive seems to be the best at the moment. I have never spoiled one of these models in any size. After writing above, I tested the write speed on Win 10 in NTFS performance mode. On average it was a horrible 30 Mbps. I don't recall this happening in the past; There are a few drives I've seen that hit 90. I don't know if I have a slightly defective drive, if Corsair slowed it down on purpose (because of the price), or if I never paid any attention to this model before. I can say that this model has never had any problem playing high-resolution music or videos in 1080. Even before this review, I didn't think this was the best drive out there; simply the best for the price. When I have time, I'll test a few more. Adata's 'high-end' drives are probably a better deal, but their current entry-level '3.2' drives are known to have issues, so I still prefer to use Adata for things I need are not very important. This writing test really surprised me.
