Excellent stick, very fast, purchased for DJing use on XDJ RX3, the rekordbox exporting happens very quickly. A bit bulky compared to others, needs to be careful not to accidentally hit it, but other than that super.
Stable value. This is the second one I bought, after 4 years. Back then it was.... By far the best. Today there are faster ones. However, the metal casing makes it extremely durable. I gave it 4 because I would like it to be even faster
One of the best Flash Drives I have.
I use it to transfer tracks from Rekordbox for use on CDJs.
1) Transfer times are extremely fast if you don't have USB 3.1.
2) The construction seems very good so far.
Extremely fast USB stick captures almost the entire advertised speed, but during the transfer of large files it starts to heat up significantly, resulting in a decrease in speed to 1/3. When using it on the computer, it heats up unnecessarily, so it is not recommended to use it.
The fastest USB stick I have ever tried, ideal for transferring large files quickly. Specifically, the transfer rate is consistently at 250-280 MB/sec, at least for 3-4 minutes. The rate may possibly decrease later due to overheating, but personally, I haven't needed to confirm this yet, as the transfers are completed much earlier.
I changed my review from 5 stars to 1 because in the end, within about 3 months, it stopped working for me. I transferred files from a Windows laptop and then when I tried to connect it to a Mac, it didn't show up at all! I don't know what the problem is, but from that moment on, it didn't show up anywhere - neither on Mac nor on Windows PC/laptop. I tried everything, even software to "recover" it, and it never showed anything. I have it connected and it's as if I never connected it at all. I never had such an experience with older conventional USB flash drives (non-SSD), and if it's something like a time bomb waiting to explode, then stay away! And in file transfer, what can you do to prevent it from getting corrupted? Just do the job for which you bought it! What can I say? I will see with the warranty what I can do and maybe get my money back.
Update 26/9/22: They sent me a replacement to the store and I went and got it for free. Now so far, I see it working normally. So, I'm changing it from 1 star to 4 stars and we'll see. They told me that mine was probably a defective USB stick and it won't happen again like before.
I haven't worked on it properly yet, apart from a test transfer of an mp3 which was done very quickly. As for using music files (mp3), I will work on it at an event and I will come back with an edit to the post.
Edit post 06/01/22
It is incredibly fast in transferring mp3 files and very durable in its casing and usage. There is only a slight heat development, which is imperceptible and does not affect its functionality. Don't forget that Hernan Cattaneo himself uses the exact same USB stick in events he plays around the world. I highly recommend it.
Just bought it. Transferred 52 GB from the laptop's SSD to the USB stick in about 3 minutes and at a speed of 300 MB/s on a USB 3.0 port! A great purchase! Thanks to someone who had done a review and I didn't buy the HyperX Savage!
The best of the best. Speed, capacity, durability. I have no words. In 2015, I got the extremeb 32 gb, it still works perfectly with daily use. After this, it's impossible to switch brands. You just upgrade the model.
Long-time owner of the Sandisk extreme 64gb, which was very fast, I decided to go for the next model. The speed difference between the two is minimal but it remains one of the fastest on the market. Its construction is more high-quality with an aluminum cover, and the LED is now more visible. In my opinion, it is a good purchase for up to €40, but with more money, you can explore other models on the market. Also, a note that it heats up quite a bit. I will come back in the future to assess its reliability.
Update 01/03/2021: It still works perfectly. Its metal frame has acquired signs of use, but personally, it doesn't bother me.
2 days after the purchase... I bought it for 46.90 euros... And after formatting it to NTFS...
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
1. Really fast!!! Not exactly at the 380 Mb/s write speed that the company claims (I assume it's probably because my USB ports are 3.0 and not 3.1)
MY MEASUREMENTS ON MY LAPTOP. FOR A 2.2 GB FILE (MOVIE)
FROM C DRIVE (SSD ADATA SP900 256GB) - CONSISTENTLY 248-250 Mb/s (PEAK 252)
FROM USB 3.0 DRIVE (SSD SAMSUNG 860 EVO 500GB) - CONSISTENTLY 205-210 Mb/s (213 PEAK)
FROM USB 3.0 DRIVE (HDD TOSHIBA 5,400 RPM 1TB) - CONSISTENTLY 87-89 Mb/s (PEAK 93)
The same file from C to USB 2.0 port - 29 Mb/s CONSISTENTLY (logical and expected)
And a measurement with small files (PS PORTABLE CS5) FROM C - FROM 7-20 Mb/s (PEAK 31).... here it has an advantage compared to the competition.
BUILD QUALITY is excellent.... its connection is sturdy... Now for the downsides... I would have liked it to be shorter in length (not that serious though), but maybe the next one will be... I noticed some overheating when I plugged it into my TV's USB and played the movie I had written... when I took it out, it was very hot... I hope the zinc-alloy casing it has provides quick heat dissipation...
Final conclusion.... for the money I paid, it's really the best I could have bought... Fast, durable... it also has a lifetime warranty... if this overheating I noticed has any consequences on performance, it will show later... I will update anything new that happens...
I hope I helped.

UPDATE 2/09/2019
TRANSFER FROM AND TO EXTREME PRO 81 GB FILES - (SSD ADATA SP900 256GB)
What I mentioned in the last paragraph happened... Performance drops significantly when the flash drive heats up... It overheats quite a bit when it works for more than 3 minutes and the performance drops in both read and write... in write, it consistently dropped to around 170, but what surprised me was in read (writing to SSD)... it didn't go above 150 and in some cases, it even reached 100... this transfer was done IMMEDIATELY after writing to the flash drive...
And I did the experiment afterwards to make sure... I put the flash drive in the freezer for 10 minutes and repeated the writing process to the SSD... The Read speed increased to 210 but still not as it should be... so the temperature of the flash drive also plays a role in the transfer process TO the SSD... that's apparent...
I hope I don't have any more updates (negative ones, of course)... :)
I have it for a short period of time but I am satisfied. Tremendous speeds. I bought it for 47 euros which I don't consider a lot for its size and speed. It worries me a little that it heats up while it's on the port.
I bought it from a store in Thessaloniki (which means not the cheapest price), owner of the 3.0 Sandisk. I use it professionally for large video and photo files (RAW).
It is definitely the fastest on the market with a lifetime warranty (I have already replaced one). If you have it for daily use or if you are not a patient person, buying it is a one-way street. :)
Very good construction and beautiful like a jewel on the keys.
Indicatively, on MACs where I use it, it reaches speeds close to 400 MB/s when the internal hard drives are at 500.
It will definitely satisfy you. (the 3.0 indicates values slightly above 200 MB/s).
I bought it from a large chain store. From the beginning, it didn't provide full speeds on a latest generation system with USB 3.1 ports. In a month, it started having issues and if it reached 120mb/s it was a miracle. I took it to the service center for replacement or to get a different one, and of course, if it passed the DOA (dead on arrival) they wouldn't admit that it had a problem. They claimed it was working "perfectly". We tested it with various speed measurement programs and they all showed that it had a problem. Now I'm left with one faulty flash drive in my hands. I've had it for two and a half months now and I can say that it doesn't even reach 70mb/s in read/write speeds. I hope it breaks down because that's the only solution to get my money back..!
I bought it about a week ago. Having used many USB sticks in my hands, I think it is the best in its category.
The construction is initially very good, the main casing is aluminum so you have durability when carrying it. The mechanism seems good, it looks like it will withstand time and it also has a small blue LED to indicate recording or reading activity. It's not the smallest one out there, but we're talking about high-performance USB sticks, so you should know that there is a sacrifice in size due to the use of much better flash memory.
Performance: Excellent, always considering that we're talking about a USB stick. Sequential read and write speeds are over 330MB/sec, while what pleasantly surprised me were the very good performances in small 4K/32K files, where an older HyperX struggled (1-2MB/sec) this one reached 25-30MB/sec which is very good. If you want even better performance, you will have to change category and go for an external SSD, there the size increases (a bit) and portability becomes a bit more difficult as you also need cables, but you will have real SSD performance (I am a owner of a Samsung T5). But as long as we're talking about USB sticks, this is the best you can get.
Now, the price. It is expensive. Major retailers have it for about 100€ which is quite a lot, considering that if you go one step further as we mentioned, you can get a portable 500GB SSD for 140€. If you find it at its lowest prices, then something changes, otherwise it's not worth it, unless you can't compromise on size. Other than that, we have a lifetime warranty, a good product that is recommended.
I had seen all the comparisons that made it the best choice, of course it had a lifetime warranty. And I decided to get it. In the end, it worked for 3 weeks, it burned out during a copy with a speed of 200++MB/s.
