Cheap but not the best

The reading speed hardly exceeds USB2 speed and the writing speed is slow. The random write test in particular was terrible - 4 KB/s, yes, 4 KB per second. In comparison, my old Sandisk Cruzer 16GB USB2 blade had a random write speed of 1.6MB/s! For less than $6, it's hard to complain, but there's something wrong with this drive. It's certainly not a 4K recording drive like you've been led to believe.

Pros
  • Compatible with most laptops and desktop PCs and Macs
Cons
  • No automatic mode

Rugged, Well Made, Slow

This is a slow autofocus, but it has a very solid construction and a thick plastic cover ensures smooth operation. The only thing missing is a cover extension to actually protect the underside of the USB port, but that's enough.

Also, I have one on my keychain where power is more important than speed - all those fancy metal-bodied sticks warp in my pocket and stop working, and this thing just…

  • Free Tech Support

Good price, works great

I bought this 128GB USB 3.0 flash drive from PNY to store my Macrium Reflect backups. I have several older 32GB and 64GB and smaller capacity PNY 3.0 flash drives and have never had a problem with them. They work quickly and reliably. This 128GB PNY flash drive works fine, as do the others. It was formatted as fat32 so I reformatted it to exfat very quickly to avoid 4GB blocks while keeping backups. It was able to save a 60GB file backup in about 20 minutes, which is similar to other…

Pros
  • Compatible with USB 3.0 host devices
Cons
  • Expensive
