Mixed feelings about this one. The memory capacity is great, but there are issues.
4 of 4 found this helpful I wish I would have read reviews on this before buying one. I have used lots of SD products in the past and always had excellent results. The write speeds are a bit exaggerated depending on which kinds of files and if any compression is used when transferring, BUT it is very fast. The biggest downside to this is OVERHEATING! The other reviews online about the flash drives getting hot enough to burn you are true! I burned my fingers the 3rd time using it to transfer large audio files and then looked online to see if others had this problem and was extremely surprised by how many others had reported this. I usually do a lot of research before shopping online so I am disappointed that I overlooked this problem. I have used this in 1 low grade $400 laptop, 2 high quality PC's, a USB sound mixer and a USB effects pedal for music equipment and I have had mixed results. There have been a couple of times the sound has dropped out during recordings that were longer than 30 minutes which defeats the purpose of my purchasing this. I wanted to use it to record with, but I'm not sure it's an option if there isn't a solution to sound dropouts. I will try using fans or in an air conditioned area to see if there are any differences in performance. Overall, HUGE capacity, but maybe the infrastructure of the design is not actually ready yet in 2017 to handle 128GB of storage. The USB runs at MAX every time you use it so it is basically running like it's about to receive 128GB of data every time you use it, which I highly doubt the average person will do that. If it wrote data in a way that anticipated many small files 20GB then I don't think the overheating issues would occur. Unfortunately, this was a waste of money for me, but I learned my lesson about skipping research before shopping online.
