What customers say about "Features"
PNY Elite-X 128GB USB 3.1 Gen 1 Flash Drive
  • Huge capacity. Very reliable. Works perfectly for read/write duties, and opens large-size files easily.
  • Speed is as advertised when using a USB 3 port, and is back compatible with USB 2.
  • This device performs as advertised, and holds a great deal of data. I didn't rate durability because I just received it, but I expect it to hold stored data well for a long period of time.
  • As with all USB 3.0 drives, it is blazing fast, when paired with the proper port. Comes FAT32 formatted and has been solid for me for weeks.
  • The drive is very slow and erratic in terms of write speed. It varies (jumps back and forth) between 60 MB/s and 80 MB/s.
SanDisk Extreme Go USB 3.1 Flash Drive 128GB
  • The transfer speeds are very fast. Very good at USB 3.1 rates.
  • I really like the sliding & locking mechanism to protect the USB connection.
  • The device works, and does seem to be quick. I did not perform any extensive speed tests, but I was able to quickly image the drive.
  • Running various Linux Live Distributions are just about as fast as a traditional hard drive. That says a lot for a USB Flash drive.
  • This drive is very fast and is also has a large storage size!
