Comment:
I took the 128 GB version. Convenient weighty (metal) interesting flash drive, not a bright diode, compact, seemingly reliable! ) Compared copying to NTFS and exFAT, the last less stable copying of large files (jumps when copying). So, a copy of a 52GB file -11 minutes (average write speed 85mb / s) jumps rarely from 50-94mb / s Copying the same file from a flash speed of 225mb / s-stable By the file storage, everything is not so fun - average recording is 8-10mb / s jumps from 2.5-34m / b Copying jumps 30-100m / b It is not very hot, when copying 100GB, it continuously warmed up to 45-55, it cools down quickly. metal

Advantages:
Today I started using and testing the first day! While everything is pleasant and satisfied! Nice stylish look, black metal body, comfortable finger grip! I copied a 9 GB folder from my computer. with the TV series Wolfhound 12 episodes in 90 seconds! And the folder is 220 MB. with 90 photos it took 16 seconds to copy! This is slower, but in principle it is fine! Heating after this work is very weak - 25-30 degrees! There will be more information - I will add a review!
Disadvantages:
The cap is delicate and fragile - you need to use it delicately! When closing the cap, the face pattern on the cap must match the face of the USB stick!

Advantages:
American reliable manufacturer. Good writing speed especially. Fast and reliable exFat file system. The body is made of metal - even with a hammer knock.
Comment:
The previous flash drive from Kingston was 4GB, which is not enough for installing Windows 10. It can be used as a place to install additional OS - for example Linux. At the same time, everything will remain in place on the SSD - it will boot in any case faster than from a conventional HDD.

Advantages:
- The metal body, while in the hands does not slip. The size is convenient, not small, but not huge, just what you need. - MLC memory type. I don't know how relevant this is now, but it seems to be considered more reliable than TLC. - The write speed is not bad: large files are written at a speed of about 100 MB.sec, but small files - the speed drops to 10-20 MB.sec - Blue indicator of work, not bright
Disadvantages:
- the usb plug walks a little inside the case, it's not critical, but this is not permissible for an expensive flash drive. - Price. - Heats up, but not much, warm. If you record a lot at a time, it will get hotter, but not critical.

Advantages:
- Excellent speed, both for writing and reading, exceeds the stated parameters. - Excellent body, metal and "grippy" - It doesn't heat very much and cools well, because of the metal in the case - Nicely heavy, monolithic, it cools the hand.
Disadvantages:
- The speed of working with small files could be better, although among other flash drives it is not bad at that. The folder with small files is removed quickly enough. - The connector cap is extremely unsuccessful, and it has an orientation, I did not immediately notice it and it cracked me a bit, due to the fact that I put it on the "other" side a couple of times. Be careful. But, he is unlikely to live long.
Comment:
In general, in terms of technical parameters, it is an excellent flash drive, the nuance with the cap, I consider not significant. If the cap does not break, it will be lost)
