Best in Micro Sticks?
Pros: -Small Size. -USB 3 -Mostly Metal Container (dissipate heat = last longer) -Write Speed while low, isn't ridiculously low like other USB3 micro sticks.
Cons: -Cap is still plastic -LED is a bit too bright. -Write speeds still subpar compared to most full size USB 3 Sticks.
Overall Review: Using as an OS drive for a Debian 8 home file sharing machine.
Pros: Connects and works as stated. Heavy Duty Casing. Uses a full size USB plug into the drive itself so it wont disconnect as easily if shuffled around.
Cons: The transfer rate for large files drops off dramatically to near 2.0 speeds (~40mbps) after a few minutes. This is on a NEC USB Chipset. The activity light worked for one drive, but the second one shows nothing except on boot.
Overall Review: No firmware to fix the above nor update it to see beyond 1TB.
Nice
Pros: Well built and should last a long time. Already had a drop unto a stone floor from 4ft with no damage.
Cons: -Headphone port opening wont fit super wide jacks. -The included screen protector isn't very wide so you have to be extra careful to line it up perfectly.
