Faster Writing and Slower Reading than Claimed
Got it through Black Friday. Constantly get 450 mb/s for reading and 600 mb/s for writing in benchmarks. This is top-tier performance especially for writing though quite different from the official claim. Reading is a little slower and writing is a lot faster.

Latest Tech, Metal Cased, Fast
Very good latest tech. Solid metal cased. Very fast. I've attached speed test results going through my computer's USB 3.2 Gen 1 (blue - older) connection.

fast thumb drive to run an OS
I used to use high-speed drives for external booting with a Microsoft configuration called Windows to go. That is really not that popular anymore or supported. However, I always like the idea of having externally bootable operating systems. This drive has sufficiently fast storage to meet those requirements. And these days I use it to boot Linux
