what write speeds to you get ? I recently bought a Sandisk extreme 64GB, super impressed at the sustained 113MB/s writes
Quite a few reviews on Amazon, it looks most people get ~190 MB/s read, ~100MB/s write (sequential)
Yeah, you wont get those speeds, but look at the price.
I can get over 100MB/s reads, but writes are more around 40MB/s if i remember right.
My other 64GB is similar, though slightly lower read speeds.@Danthemanz: Try reformatting to FAT32 file system.

Thanks, good info.
Pity i cant really risk the 4GB file limit of fat32 as i often have to carry large Microsoft ISOs for work or Bluray rips for myself.
You always run into the limit when you are in a situation you cant reformat it…:(
it looks most people get ~190 MB/s read, ~100MB/s write (sequential)
Yeah, with nothing on it and moving 500MB test files maybe.
My 256GB stick has 209GB on it and a more realistic write speed is 30-40MB/s.
@Amar89: Nope. I just did a test just then on my laptop. My 128GB stick had 4GB free - even less space than yours, percentage-wise. I copied a 2GB MTS video file at ~95MB/s.
I tried the same thing on a Celeron NUC and only got about 63MB/s. Maybe it's your computer that has a bottleneck. 30-40MB/s is USB2 speed.
I just read this website that mentions the same thing. Was this your source? It's definitely the same model number.

Thank you for proving my point.
Now run Crystal Disk Mark and tell me your 512K and 4K transfer speeds.
@Amar89: Why? that is completely not representative of how I use my USB stick. I bet the majority of people who use USB sticks copy more large files than lots and lots of small ones.
It's like someone telling me the top speed of my car is only 50km/h … if I drive it on a beach. Sure, but I don't drive on beaches.
As @eug pointed out, I get around 100MB/s write which is pretty good for me since one of them is used as backup device.
I love using it when creating PC images with Acronis. It's just so fast and way more compact compared to the USB HDD I used to use.
Mine was faulty. I'd never buy again.
Why was this comment negged? I WANT to hear from people who have had a problem with a product. Why silence them? A simple reply with "mine's been going fine for x months" would be a much better approach.
Thank you Risto!!!! Great feedback.
Mine died too, along with another PNY SD card. Now waiting for a Sandisk sale.
Got the 128 and 256 GB.
Both work great but I recently lost the 256 GB in a hotel room ;(
256 GB is currently $89.95 USD + shipping, waiting for it to go back down to $69.99 or lower.
Lowest US price ever, but thanks to currency conversion between AUD and USD this won't be as good a deal as we got last year.
I bought 2. Still working well.
This seems like a great deal though personally, I tend not to have a need for more than 16GB thumbdrives.
I'm sitting here looking at my Transcend 128MB (yes, MB not GB) thumbdrive that I bought in 2003 for the then bargain price of $99.95 It was a big step-up from my previous 16MB thumbrive.
The amazing thing is that it still works!
Thanks OP, got one - ends up around $au49 or $us39 (which translates to about $au47 if your cc does USD).
Buy 2 @ A$45.70 each!
I almost did … but then may as well get the 256Gb for a few dollars extra … couldn't quite justify it …
sick of seeing deals in USD. I see the price, consider it, then realize it's actually $20+ more atleast.
It's getting annoying.Shouldn't you be used to it by now, then? :)
Been using it since the last deal, works great!
This is becoming the New Eneloops.
Must have more, not sure why.It's back up.
Roughly $50 aud. Hrrrrg, just in between cheap and too much, don't think I'll go for this one.
Overkill for OPENelec?
Shame it is the lowest usd price ever… I have two and they are pretty good.
