I ordered this brand because I trust the quality of Kingston from past/current experience. My USB 3.0 16gb flash drive worked fine, but as expected for this budget price point, it is certainly no speed demon. It bounced around from 4-8MB per sec while copying a bit over 300 MP3 files (almost 3GB worth of data). For contrast, my old USB 2.0 flash drives do the same thing at about 2-3MB per sec. I won't be doing much reading or writing to/from this flash drive, as it was purchased as storage back-up for some random files/data just in case I need it down the road. USB flash drives usually fail due to excessive writing/overwriting (each storage section can only be written/overwritten so many times before failure), so keep that in mind. They are perfect for somewhat limited writing to drive, and lots of reading from drive.
UPDATE 1/1/2018 - Survived (with cap on) full wash cycle in the washing machine with no damage. Nice!
UPDATE 8/2/2018 - All 3 of these USB drives that I purchased are still working fine, within their expected limitations (as mentioned in original review above) - even the one that went through a full cycle in the washing machine (w/cap on). :)
