Meets advertised speeds. 64GB, 128GB and 256GB comparison
Update 8/25/2016: Added the 256GB card to the comparison. It was much faster write speed and met the 95 MB/s read and 90MB/s write claims!
I tested the 64GB and 128GB cards. Both cards exceeded the advertised speeds (80MB/s read and 20MB/s write). The 64GB card provided higher read and write speeds compared with the 128GB card. The 64GB card showed very high 512K random read and write speeds, the random write speeds exceeded the sequential writes.
I tested in several different USB 3.0 card readers, the highest benchmarks:
