It should be a deal breaker for everyone. It's basically USB 2.0 speeds. It would take over 3 hours to fill the drive. It's also a reminder that NewEgg doesn't do its customers any favors. Always look for the downside with those guys.

Many comments on write speeds been really lower as 20MB/s vs advertised 60MB/s. It could be a deal breaker for someone.

Good price for 256gb but reviews indicate it is insanely slow to write.

Can anyone share their opinion on using this as the storage device for a Blink Sync Module setup?

Comments complaining about slower write speeds are discouraging but write a fewer times and read many times could do well.

Good price. It's just a terribly slow drive. 😔

That is a Windows problem. When you plug in the stick, drivers are installed for the slower speeds

Could you offer any insights on this? Like how do you know it's a driver problem vs slow memory?
