This USB drive is made nicely and there's no need to worry about any funny business with a shady seller.

When I first plugged it into the computer, it read as 128gb and I started getting errors when attempting to transfer large files onto the drive.

89% praised the fast transfer speed, while 11% raised concerns
I have specific information about the transfer speed of the flash drive, including average write speed, short-term burst write speeds, and read speed.
I noticed the specific write and read speed of the USB flash drive.
I faced difficulty in transferring files. Even after trying to transfer 12 files at a time, it took me 10 minutes to transfer them.
The write speeds of these flash drives are really slow. It took two entire days to transfer 100GB of music, while the exact same data only took two hours with new Samsung drives.
