There's a lot of USB 3.0 sticks but many don't have performance worth talking about. This and the high end Lexars do. The Sandisk is good value (these days) and a reliable brand. Be careful of clones on eBay. The only reason it's not 5/5 is the form factor.

Overall a good pen drive with good transfer speeds. But I am not too impressed with the build quality due to the sliding mechanism.

Nice product, looks very cute. Small in size but have nice grip, good design. Very effective and useful for transferring large amount of data. Actual available space around 14 GB. Value for money product.

Unlike some other devices, this flash drive works fairly quick even when connected to USB 2.0. I never tried to connect it to USB 3.0 so I have no idea how it would work at top speed.

An amazing USB 3.0 Utility Flash Drive Pros:-The performance of this 16GB pendrive is really impressive. It offers read and write speeds up to 245Mb/s and 50Mb/s, and transfers videos, photos, music, and other files in just a matter of minutes or even seconds.

I bought the product to specifically backup the home directory on my Linux machine with a fast usb 3 port and found out that the device isn't recognized by Linux. It still works as a usb 2 device so it isn't a total lose.

Pros: Install your favorite Linux distro' on this, keep your data on a bigger stick. Then you will have a fast boot, fast app' load times, and perfect physical security. When not plugged in, your computer will be a boat anchor to anyone else. Yay!

If you need a USB flash drive with extremely fast read/write speed, this is for you. Of course you need a 3.0 port on your computer to achieve peak performance but 2.0 is still pretty darn fast. Between that and the name SanDisk, you can't go wrong.

The Extreme USB 3.0 bears a rather conservative design, following SanDisk's traditional modus operandi of taking a lightweight shell and stuffing it full of flash memory and a retractable USB plug that locks into place.

SanDisk has been a leader in the storage industry for more than 20 years. Founded in 1988 by Dr. Eli Harari, the company has grown to become the world's largest supplier of flash memory data storage products.
