Decent thumb drive
Decent performance and form factor. Used it as an external drive for my MacBook Air M1, and now with my Macmini M4. No complaints. Durable metal case with sliding protection for USB connector. Wish it had USB C though.

So Far So Good
I have installed a complete operating system (Linux Mint 21.3) along with all my document, video, and music files on this drive because it is advertised to be a 3D NAND portable SSD (although it looks like extra large thumb drive). I move the drive back forth between two home computers and also use it my laptop. I am hoping to get longevity from this drive close to what would be offered by an M2 2280 3D NAND internal SSD. I used LUKS full drive encryption. I also later ordered a second one of these drives, which I use for a complete drive backup (via dd command) about once per week. I had run a speed test using gnome disks using various size files, which returned read speeds between write 370 MB/sec and 440 MB/sec and 310 MB/sec and 420 MB/sec. I use the drive 5 to 6 times per week 2 to 5 hours at a time on a journaling file system. If it doesn't last at least a year, I will update this review. It runs a little hot but my application is really making it work.

Overheats and slows way down
Out box the drive was ExFAT formatted with no files present. Initial Blackmagic Speed Test looked good with 1,072 MB/s writes and 917 MB/s reads. Dragndrop write of many GB of large photo and video files, write speed dropped 90%. You'll need several hours to fill drive.

Solid fast USB drive for Macs and Android storage use.
Good read/write speed, as advertised. Had to initialize twice on my Mac's Disk Utility before it would be readable by Finder, weird. Functions perfectly after that. Installed into Android-based touch panel as internal storage expansion. Seems to be working well, only slightly warm to touch on extended usage.

Very Slow
The worst & slowest usb flash drive I have experienced at All within the same price category, the writing speed is not constant , when trying to copy large files it starts with 300 MB/s then speed drops down to less than 50 MB/s, I bought 3 of them ( 2 x 2 TB & 1 x 1 TB ) but I’m going to return them all , don’t waste your time & money
