I bought this USB drive because the specs said it had high read AND write speeds. It does indeed work fast -- files can be copied to it as fast as to another hard disk.

I am using this flash drive on my keyboard / laptop for music backup. It reads fast and writes fast and a light goes on to confirm connection. The rubber cover and lid are easy to grip, easy to see because of the neon orange and seals well to keep dust and debri out. Would buy again.
