So this looks real nice but they're not stating any sort of performance data for read/write which could be because they're trying to hide the fact that these will not reach anywhere near the data transfer capabilities of USB 3.2 gen 1 (USB3.0 5Gbps or USB3.1 gen 1 5Gbps)

What is so special about those sticks? Without real performance numbers, they are just overpriced USB3 sticks, nothing more.

I dunno my new MSI Motherboard came with a USB stick for the drivers. I must say it’s extremely small and rather stylish to boot. Pic next to my 64GB USB3 HyperX drive

No point in moving to USB 3.2 if performance could still be served over 3.0.
Really like the design though (the metal part, not the 'wooshy' lines)

A nice little stick, but as usual...

NO C - NO BUY - NO EXCUSES !

And since when did USB sticks become a fashion statement anyways ? Apparently I didn't get that memo. Granted, I like my women with a few curves and some style, but for my flash drives, I could care less.... hehehe :D

The only appeal of USB flash drives is the small size.

Otherwise, you're better off using an NVMe drive in a USB enclosure. It costs a bit more, but you get faster speeds and larger capacities.
