I've been out of the USB Flash Drive game for awhile. Looked on Amazon and I see a fuckton of high rated ones with a bunch of very low reviews sprinkled across.
No idea what to trust since 1/100 users actually benchmark them. So I come to you Anon, I need to know what's quality or not. For example this, are there any superior alternatives:

Firstly, buy USB 3 drives only
That's about it take your pick

I've got a SanDisk Ultra Flair 128GB USB 3.0 drive that I keep on my keychain, I've been happy with it so far but it does get a little warm sometimes.

They're all the same. I got a Kingston HyperX and it feels really nice in the hand, so I'd recommend that.
Thanks for the info guys. Got the one I linked in the OP.

Cool that's good to know from someone who has one. Cheers!

I have a 32gb version of that and it's pretty good. It's kinda long and fat though. Also, the sliding mechanism gets stuck at times. Other than that, it's a fast and solid flash drive.

No shit dummy, most normal people buy drives and move on. Only the nerdiest of the nerdy are going to CrystalDisk that shit.

I buy Patriot Flash Drives anon. I sound like a shill, I know, but thier Supersonic drives are sealed and coated in some silicone crap. It's lasted three trips through the wash by my retarded hand.

Then they have their supersonic rage, which are not coated in rubber shit, but ridiculously fast, and more importantly, reasonably priced.

The supersonic rage I have was bought 5 years ago and is still kicking at speeds I consider to be very acceptable.

Samsung and Sandisk are the only ones who make flash worth a damn.

Did it work?
If you want a fast one, I have this one, and have no complaints. Obviously more expensive than slow ones, but I use it to copy movies now again and it takes a few seconds rather than multiple minutes on your average cheap driver.

Have you actually had trouble breaking flash drives by washing them? I remember having a Sony one back in high school that I must've washed like five times and never had an issue
