Most Favorable Review

Amazing speeds, but be warned: It runs hot!

TEAM X1 MAX DRIVE 128GB BLACK USB 3.2 Gen2 External Solid State Flash Drive, Dual Interface Type-C and Type-A, Compatible with Smartphone/ Tablet/ PC/ Chromebook, Speed Up to 1000MB/s (TX1MAX3128GB01)
TEAM X1 MAX DRIVE 128GB BLACK USB 3.2 Gen2 External Solid State Flash Drive, Dual Interface Type-C and Type-A, Compatible with Smartphone/ Tablet/ PC/ Chromebook, Speed Up to 1000MB/s (TX1MAX3128GB01)

Pros: -about 1000MB/s read and 900MB/s write -small and lightweight SSD -offers both USB-C and USB-A

Cons: -Runs very hot during consistent use (60-70C). If the flash drive gets too hot, it will throttle itself and reduce the transfer speeds. -Slower speeds when transferring large individual files

Overall Review: This is a great USB flash drive. The speeds are as advertised so it's basically a tiny SSD. I used CrystalDiskMark to test the speeds with the drive inserted in a USB 3.2 Gen2 port (10gbps) on my PC. USB-A and USB-C will give similar results, however, a Gen1 USB port (5gbps) will halve the speeds. Unfortunately, this flash drive likes to run very hot like other reviews have mentioned. Temperatures peaked at 76C after a several runs of CrystalDiskMark, monitored with HWinfo64. Note that this is a stress test, so under regular usage it won't run that hot. Makes for an excellent finger warmer.
