Couldn't use it with my Lenovo T430... the USB3.0 ports in this laptop (as with some other slim laptops) are slightly recessed under the laptop frame and because this memory stick is unusually bulky and large - it won't fit...I am not sure who design it and why they didn't think of it...

Fast

Bulky; Poor Design

I don't know about you, but more often than not, when I hear a person's name before seeing them, my brain would generate a mental image of them of what they might look like. To make sure I am not crazy or anything, I went around and asked a few of my friends, and it turns out I am not the only one.

As the description states, this product worked for me for about 2 weeks before internal components overheated and broke. This product was fast while it lasted , but I would not recommend it due to a bad design, and very short life.

It's fast, it has a large capacity. But the only problem I found is the size of it. it is very wide and also thick. So if you have 2 USB's stacked right beside each other I literally can't plug it in unless I unplug the other one. That's my only problem with it.
