What customers say about "Size & Weight"

PNY Elite-X 128GB USB 3.1 Gen 1 Flash Drive

The PNY usb 3.1 is a handy size with an easy to open/close over on the connector.
Fast, convenient, small, and highly capacious. Thanks!
This is a solid USB storage device. It is super small and super slick in design.
I like small and slick designs. And this is what you need.
The hole is too small for any of my keychain and lanyard connectors.

SanDisk Extreme Go USB 3.1 Flash Drive 128GB

Bigger than a thumbnail sized drive, but small enough to put on my keychain.
It is very fast on the USB 3.1 port. Size is good and delivery was fast.
Very fast as advertised, through the speeds vary a lot due to different file formats and sizes. Lightweight and comfortable in the hand.
Insanely fast, super small. Installed windows 10 64 bit in a few seconds. Great value.
Fast, small. Does everything it claims to. No issues.

What customers say about "Features"

PNY Elite-X 128GB USB 3.1 Gen 1 Flash Drive

Huge capacity. Very reliable. Works perfectly for read/write duties, and opens large-size files easily.
Speed is as advertised when using a USB 3 port, and is back compatible with USB 2.
This device performs as advertised, and holds a great deal of data. I didn't rate durability because I just received it, but I expect it to hold stored data well for a long period of time.
As with all USB 3.0 drives, it is blazing fast, when paired with the proper port. Comes FAT32 formatted and has been solid for me for weeks.
The drive is very slow and erratic in terms of write speed. It varies (jumps back and forth) between 60 MB/s and 80 MB/s.

SanDisk Extreme Go USB 3.1 Flash Drive 128GB

The transfer speeds are very fast. Very good at USB 3.1 rates.
I really like the sliding & locking mechanism to protect the USB connection.
The device works, and does seem to be quick. I did not perform any extensive speed tests, but I was able to quickly image the drive.
Running various Linux Live Distributions are just about as fast as a traditional hard drive. That says a lot for a USB Flash drive.
This drive is very fast and is also has a large storage size!
