Here's a link to someone who benchmarked this thing so you can get an idea of its transfer speeds. Appears to outperform its own claims (130MB/s) on read, but be a bit slow on write:

Like I said, a good drive for a year, but don't leave anything important on it.

Neither if you need to transfer large files. This drive has USB caching issues, and will show down to a crawl after a few seconds with a large file. The SanDisk will do the same due to thermal throttling as it overheats. If you're going to only put small files on it, like word documents, either is fine.
I think people have had better experience with Samsung drives, but I personally haven't really used flash drives often. Hopefully someone can comment on this. I'd like to know if there is anything out there. Would be nice to have one of these for on the go media storage without having to carry around a hard drive or SSD.
I have a couple of these and they have been going strong. Maybe you got a bad batch
Lol
Get one of each brand and you may find that they all have inconsistent read write speeds. What you don't want to have is something that crawls down to USB 1.0 speeds. I have some drives where if they can sustain over 60mbps I'm happy with that.
If you want fast storage. Get one of those m.2 to usb 3 sleds and attach an m.2 drive to it. Depending on your usb and m.2 drive you can get 200-400mbps speeds.
Maybe you have a spare ssd laying around. Convert to a usb external storage drive with an adapter.
