Anyone know the read/write speeds?

7dayshop suggest 15MB/s write and 40MB/s read, which to be frank is going to be painful unless you're using it as a write once storage device or writing unattended overnight.
If speed is required you're probably better of with a MyMemory red USB flash drive, which I get around 80MB/s write and 100MB/s read on my 256GB drive.

Had an 8GB USB 2.0 Verbatim Pinstripe. Was very slow. The speeds quoted by 7dayshop would suggest this too is not a fast USB 3.0 memory stick, more like a fast USB 2.0 memory stick. If you're after decent speeds, look elsewhere. No idea what the reliability is like - a friend lost mine (no great loss really) before it started to fail.
EIDT: Given the lack of speed, I imagine this drive does not get hot. Any owners care to confirm/contradict?
