ADATA S102 Pro Advanced 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Model AS102P-64G-RBL

Pros: Write was fast until it died.

Cons: Died during first write/unrecoverable/drive recognized and then immediately disappears. Tried to RMA for replacement but I can't because I don't have the package due to disposable packaging and rebate UPC removal.

Pros: Plenty of space for the buck. I bought it on sale.
Beginning transfer speed is awesome!

Cons: Transfer speed quickly drops. Tried it on 2 other USB 3.0 computers and it was the same situation.

Other Thoughts: I couldn't give less than 5 eggs because of the price. It balanced out the reduced transfer speed.
I think the write speed steadies at an approximate average of 25... can't quite remember.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: TBD

Other Thoughts: What happened to the other 6GB - formatted capacity is 58.3 GB Even if you measure it in 1000K its still only 62.6GB

Manufacturer Response:

Hello Diecast61,

Please note that no capacity was lost, S102 Pro displays less capacity due to it using overprovisioning. This feature requires additional space but will increase the endurance and improve the performance by giving the controller additional buffer for managing P/E cycle.
