Not quite as advertised, connection's a little inconsistent
The actual capacity is 57.6 GB.The sustained read speed is 120 MB/s.The sustained write speed is 16.6 MB/s.It looks nice and feels nice. All metal, very heavy.I just received this product, will update review if anything goes wrong.*Update 1:*For no discernible reason, it doesn't work in one of my three USB ports. The port functions normally with other devices. Update 1.5: I was messing with the drive whilst writing that, and all of a sudden it has mysteriously begun working in that port. huh.Also, upon plugging it into a new computer, it may randomly disconnect once several seconds after being inserted, then work normally afterward. Could it be due to the computer installing a driver or something without giving notice? I don't know. I plugged it into a printer, it disconnected and reconnected halfway through a scan, then upon moving it to my computer it said the data was corrupted, but then upon repairing it there were no errors found. Strange.It's possible that some of these problems are partially the fault of my other devices, so your experience may differ. But whatever the issue is, this drive's performance is not as consistent as my other flash drives.

Remarkably Compact Drive
I was mainly looking for a 16GB combo (USB/Micro USB) drive to transfer files from my PC to my tablets (and back) conveniently. The fact that it is so small is a definite plus, and it is about 2x the speed of most of my USB 2.0 drives. The reasonable price was helpful too.

Tiny But Mighty!
IT. IS. TINY. Like, make-you-laugh-the-first-time-you-see-it, type of small. Like, "Where the heck is that darn thing?!" for an hour, "Oh my God it's been plugged-in this whole time?!" kind of wee lil' thing. So, yeah.I bought it for the 'Live TV Pause' function on a TCL Roku 5-Series. Every other thumb drive I tried gave "Device write speed too slow!" error, even other 3.0 drives. The manufacturer claimed fast sustained R/W speeds so, here we are. Quick reformat and it works perfectly!(To be honest, when I ordered it, I didn't even notice it had a micro-USB on the flip side. I already ordered another to use with my phone*)*If this is for an Android device, make sure your hardware supports OTG, otherwise it won't work!

I Like'em
I admit it --- I like small things. These 62Gb thumbs are great - at least for me. I use them to record TV programs, then erase them for another recording session. They do get hot but not as hot as a pair of 32Gb drives that are of a more common form. I do have to take extra pains to not lose them.

compact usb drive
It has a ring-hole to insert a key-ring so it stays in a keyring, but the hole size is small and also seems flimsy, possible to breakaway and fall off.

Not bad for the price
I wanted a thumb drive that I did not have to use an additional adapter for my tablet, here I have the best of both worlds. capacity is just what I wanted, speed is acceptable. Has not failed me yet.

i thought it was a type C by the pics.
not a type C, it's a micro. it fell under the search for type c flash drive for some reason. i still can use it for a friend when i need to empty their phones.

Versatile
Fits everything! I keep music on it for my car stereo, travel records for trips, photos, and it all stays on my key ring for use on an Android phone.
