Bought this to replace a old flash drive that went bad. I really like the storage and I was able to download my data info very easy.

It does what it's supposed to. The design is good as it protects the connector.

The max read/write speeds are for a VERY short period of time only. When copying over a 10GB file, it will be at about 150-175MB/s write speed for about 10 seconds and then drop off to only about 70-80MB/s for the rest of the transfer. I'm pretty sure this has a buffer that is capable of the high speeds, but after that, it is pulling from the storage chips and they can't go as fast. Read speed is in the same boat, starts off at about 250MB/s and after a few seconds drops down to only 70-80MB/s. The thumb drive is the bottle neck here as I was copying files from and to a 1TB NVMe drive in my desktop that I have been able to sustain over 400MB/s to an external SSD.

Purchased to run World of Warcraft on a laptop that I didn't want to do a full install on. Worked perfectly - high enough speed to play live without transferring to the laptop's internal drive.

New Thumb drives poorer Chip Quality & False specs

400 MBS stilll false, The FAST thumb drive myth seems to imply a better speed than actual speeds STILL, it seems the chip crucnch in the last 2 years makes all the thumb drives.
I record 60 MBS read/write speeds, and benches at 211 - 240 mbs, we seem to go backwards wuth hardware 5 steps and then edge slowly foreword assuming no one pays attention,m even with caching tricks this drives read at 120 mbs and wrote at 60, a step forword from the ones I bought lkast year that read at 60 and wrote at 40 also claiming grand speed increases *may not write at speed quoted in small print.
I am dimayed at where Tech is going as the fibs grow greater and greater.
MY MC 64gb (unbranded) Thimb drive from 2010 at $15 has a better speed than the newer drives, and consistant
