I have several of the 2.0 version of this. I have been using the 2.0 version for several years and they are very reliable. This one is even better since its a 3.0 with a faster transfer rate and same reliability. I re-format them several times depending on the task. But I use them mainly as a bootable drive to load W10 os, Linux or Mac OS.

I bought one not long ago and I feel like carrying it around just for fun and telling my folks how good and fast the drive is.

Been using Western Digital and SanDisk products for quite sometime. Received along with my other purchases as a bonuses. Will be used regularly.
