'old' computer guy here. beware of San Disk. I see people talk good about them. I don't know why. Their marketing team seem to be masters at lying about specs. There CFO must be good at sourcing cheap crappy memory chips.
I've seen a handful of san disk memory chips worth having, and they were just competitive with some good brands.
Most san disk memory I've gotten over the last 50 years was crap.
Since then I've looked deeply in to a few chips looking for truth. Once agaion, thos chips were crap and the description made them look good to me initiallly.
Now I won't buy san disk unless its a price mistake, and still feels dicy.

Look at what ports you have on your computer and get a USB stick for that speed. There are many fast ports on computers now, so you shouldn't be buying super slow usb sticks if you have fast ports.
The faster usb sticks don't cost much.

There may be some use cases for faster reads, e.g OS install. But slow writing speed is still the actual limit in most cases
I travel often and many rental cars either do not support Apple CarPlay, or it's buggy as all heck. So it's an easy way to at least always have music.
