Started a copy job of 128GB 2 hours ago (!!). It is still supposed to take 5 hours (!!!!!!!) to finish this one. On an external SSD the copy job is done in 4min.
Would probably rather not buy it again.
That the speed is throttled, is probably also because the small stick very quickly becomes relatively warm.

Did two (2x10) tests here and the performance is "Okay" when reading.
For write speed, I can not understand it in the 2020.

... unfortunately in the negative sense. The stick gets very hot. So hot that the swivel housing, which protects one plug at a time, is deformed. Then the whole thing plummets. Furthermore, the entire interior of the stick shifts (probably also due to the heat) and the circuit board slides back and forth.
So far, this has not affected the performance. Nevertheless, it is annoying. The high quality is gone.
I didn't notice these flaws in the black version with plastic casing. I would therefore recommend the plastic version to everyone.

Stick works well so far, but the "cap" wobbles already after 2 uses - Poor quality.
In addition, the stick gets damn hot! After 20 minutes on the PC, I could use the stick as an immersion heater!

Set my house on fire! But it's perfect for keeping warm during the Christmas season!
Finally an affordable and easily transportable electric heater.

Great value for money, especially regarding the memory space.
The metal body is heavy and gives an impression of robustness and quality. It also seems to be quite efficient at extracting heat during large transfers.
On the other hand, it is quite slippery, which means that to extract it from a poorly accessible USB socket, you sometimes have to try twice.
As I carry the key loose in a pocket, I ended up finding a case for it to avoid having a lot of small gravel get into the USB-A plug.
The key is recognized by all my Android devices (Huawei, Nokia, Samsung).
Finally, if the key is relatively fast in read-write, I was far from being bluffed (in ideal circumstances - big machine with SSD, big proc and 32 GB of RAM, on a USB 3.1 plug, and transferring big files, I painfully reached 50 MB/sec - and when I switched to my mobile PC which is less performing, I don't exceed 20 MB/sec. With small files (80% about 1MB, 20% about 1GB), it took me about 12 hours to transfer 60GB.
