Looked like a good deal until I read the product description:

"Write Speed 15 MB per second"

One more product to avoid...
I have the 128gb version and it slows to about 10 MB per second because it gets so hot.
Why is this on front page , it has been this price for 90+ days. This site is turning into trash

Note these are slow AF for writing (I believe the 15MB listed), the up to 150 is reading speeds (also largely theoretical, and not REMOTELY USB 3.1 speeds so consider that label pure marketing.)

For the cost this is a good deal just note it really does write at the mentioned abysmal speed, so click it and forget it when you fill it up 😂

I don't get it, why is it so slow to wrote? I have smaller capacity version of this and it's not too bad.
Also do a lot of people write a lot of data all the time? I use these to store Email archive PST files.

SanDisk claim 1.2 GB video transfer to drive in "less than 30 seconds." It seems that's a bit faster than quoted above.
