I formatted this deeply so as to stress it. No failure in that regard. (Did have a PNY USB stick fail after I formatted it out of the box, so thats why I always try to stress new storage with a deep format when I get it.) The loop is weak plastic, so unlike the Samsung competition.

Its a usb flashdrive, what is there to say about it. The 32gb flashdrive isnt really 32gb, but it isnt an issue unless you are serious about having exactly 32gb. It's 28.6gb Good for porting all my emulators to, and music and such. Office use Pretty sure it'll be great for that. Idk.

I don't normally publish IOPS figures because merely stating those figures is meaningless without being able to control the size of the packets and latencies involved during the measuring.

Still putting it through the wringer, but this Ultra Flair is standing up pretty well to the gamut of small file transfers and running a Windows Vista VM; According to Crystal Benchmark, this flash drive - when plugged into a USB 3.0 port with no other USB devices being used - is capable of...

Less than 2 minutes into reformatting the drive for the first time before a benchmark, this Ultra Flair thermal throttled and disconnected; The metal cover is almost too hot to touch (think metal teaspoon in a freshly brewed cup of coffee) and it needs a minute taped to a used can of compressed air...

10 out of 10, highly recommendable. Great value for money, was very pleased with my purchase and can only recommend this one to others, it's the second one I have bought in a week.

Great USB, really quick to transfer files and very small, perfect for the office and business trips.

Works great and is fast. It becomes very hot, but I had a 64GB USB that becomes very hot too and I have never had any issues with it. My guess is that it is normal, it has to emit heat somehow... Spec should specify how much heat these devices emit, just so we know what to expect.
