SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO USB 3.2 Solid State Flash Drive, up to 420 MB/s read speeds, up to 380 MB/s write speeds, password protection, RescuePRO data recovery software, durable casing

Compact high capacity memory stick, positive fit in USB socket. Transfer rates seem good but I haven't loaded it to the max yet. Fair value.

Really like using this as a DJ, It has fast read/write speeds and didn't need formatting for mac (although I would recommend a format when you receive the device just in case! I've used it on CDJ's and all in one devices with no issues.I like the retractable part, this is well made and doesn't feel like it will break which is often an issue with a device with a similar mechanism.I had another one of these, that went through the washing machine, and it worked afterwards (after drying) so should withstand most wear and tear!

1. £36 may seem a lot just for a USB but it’s worth it considering 124GB of available storage and the unmatchable speed. I believe this is the fastest USB you can find in the market with the highest reading and writing speeds. I transferred a 4GB file under 10 seconds2. There is free 1 year software included which helps recover accidental deleted files and much more3. Password protection can be set up to encrypt specific files or folders you want4. Sliding mechanism which is really convenient and smooth; it also protects the metal partImprovements:• The price could be a little lower• It’s larger than other USB’s but this shouldn’t be a problem• Durability wise it could’ve been made from stronger materials (still top quality)• It can heat up especially after prolonged use• Apparently the speed goes down over time as well as when more of the USB capacity is used up however I haven’t experienced this myself (shouldn’t be noticeable for a regular user)Final verdict: I definitely recommend it. You won’t find a better product!

I have one computer which is still of the 2009 era so has not really got usb 3 - i added a card but this isn't going to be as fast as the true usb 3 rig. Having said that the speeds are stunning from this.Most of the time what one will find with usb 3 sticks is the read speed is perky but the write speed is usually pretty poor.Not so with this - I have some hard drives that can't keep up with this and that's quite a thing.I also have the same comment from a friend who says pretty much the same thing on his rig which does have usb 3. Faster speeds than I get and competes with the internal HDD.Of course if you look at the cost vs SSD or HDD it's massively expensive but in this day and age we do pay for speed but I bought this in a sale and it was the cheapest I have seen - given that this 128GB was worth it to me and the day after I bought it, the price was 50% more than I paid. I'm glad I jumped at it when I did.

The best, reliable usb sticks with time-saving much faster write speeds compared to most others. Ideal for DJs who often write a lot of music to usb sticks to take out to play. Highly recommended.

as for value for money - of course you can get more storage for the same money or the same storage for considerably less. but those sticks wont give you these speeds. so that depends if you care for speeds or not. if you dont, there are much better value options out there. but if you do care for speeds...cant say anything about durability - might update in a couple years!i bought my old transcend 8gb stick 10 years ago and i still have and use it. if this one lasts 10 years too, i'll be happy. the slide out mechanism was problematic at first, as the plug wouldnt stay fix in its "out" position. as soon as i pushed it a bit with with my finger, or tried to insert it into a usb port, it would retract. but that has gone away after sliding it in and out a couple times. hope this has settled this now. with 6 years consumer law here in ireland i am not all that concerned though.the speed is really good. sustained write speeds of around 320-330 mb/s and sustained read speeds or around 380-390 mb/s, tested with a 6.3gb mkv movie file.so not exactly as advertised - they say write up to 380 mb/s, and read up to 420 mb/s, but still one of the best out there.and just as an FYI, it does get notably warm after writing/reading for 10+ seconds.

I am very happy with this USB stick simple and the writes speeds are great!
