I have a few of these bought for £25-30 last year. Not the most beautiful USB sticks but work great and no failures thus far despite transferring a fair bit of data. Definitely recommended at this price!!

What write speeds are you getting through USB 3.0?

I've had a couple of these for a while now.
Read and write speeds max out at about 25mb/s, which is not as much as the Grixx equivalent but at this price, would consider them to be good value.
The description on the site states Read Speed: 25MB/s, Write Speed: 14MBs

Formatting to NTFS would provide much greater speeds, but I've read online that drives are more prone to failure when formatted to NTFS compared to the default FAT.

Last time this was posted, the Grixx came in for some recent dead on arrival criticism. From me included. Sp;eed wise I couldn't honestly say I'd seen a noticeable difference when plugged into a USB3 socket, but I usually transfer through my router at USB2 speeds. I use my pendrives for smart tv recording and playing back movies.... and I am considering combining a 240GB SSD with one of these (which isn't much more expensive than a pendrive, almost as light, small and much much faster.

Unless you really need this sort of capacity I can't help feeling you'd be better off with something a bit faster.
Transferring large files will be painful

Yep, I get about 25mb/s. Not the fastest, but I didn't buy for speed.
Reliability and decent size is my main priority. Got 4 of these, and not had any problems.
I think for the price, they are a good deal.

I get about 35 read and 20-25 write on mine, but it has been super reliable so far. The case is a wee bit shoogley too, but it is cheap.

The Grixx looks better and I hear the write speeds are faster at first but once they heat up their write speeds come down substantially. These aren't noticeably slower for me personally. Genuine question, what large files do people need transferring so urgently?

A system backup?
A 20GB backup at 20MB/s will take 15 minutes, for example.
It's of course relative, but personally this is too slow for what I'd use it for (backups).

So it's really USB 2.0

NTFS only provides a small modicum of speed increase as I formatted mine this way.
I would have normally recommended Grixx but both a 64Gb and 128Gb failed within 6 months, so am a little reluctant to do so now.
