    Good, but A little slower than the competition

    Overall decent performance (it is a bit slower than my Samsung T5's as this writes at about 150-200 MB/s; my T5's can get up around 300-350 MB/s). Haven't had it that long so I can't speak to reliability yet (only had it for about a week). The rugged design is nice for those who are on the go. Despite this being a little slower than my Samsung's I'd still recommend it to people. I mainly dinged it one star because of it's slower write speed, compared to the competition but beyond that, does the job and is affordable.
