Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Very disappointed in this drive. I've used dozens of Flash/thumb Drives and this one is terribly erratic. When writing files to it, it will go reasonably fast for a bit, then slow way down and even stop for a minute or two or three..just a dead halt. Then eventually speed up again, only to slow way down &/or stop -- again & again. This is on a good USB 3.0 port After a fresh system boot (Win 10 on a Fast system with SSD & plenty of Ram), nothing else running (even shut down my Anti-virus), and a re-format of this drive -- tried the default (FAT32) as well as NTFS formats. So what should take ~5 minutes to write to drive, instead takes 30 minutes with all the pauses & stops.. Tried 2 other Flash drives after (& in between -- just to be sure) copying the same set of files and they both ran plenty fast without significant pauses, so clearly the issue is with this particular flash drive. Maybe a heat issue?? Or just crappy~marginal chips..I/O controllers? Double-checked Task Manager just to make sure no other process was chewing up CPU cycles or pushing Ram limits. It was pretty cheap ($8 for a 32 gig, USB 3.0 drive), but operates worse than an ancient USB 1.0 drive.
