This review is from: Super Talent SuperCrypt 16 GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive ST3U16SCS (Personal Computers)

These look just like cigarette lighters. I have used it two times and the plastic on the side of the cap almost came out, had to push it back in place. The built quality is the worst I have seen in any flash drive. I get around 170MB/Sec read and 50MB/Sec write in USB 3.0 mode. Windows 7 says about 70MB/sec for 3GB file transfer. It's still one of the fastest in USB 2.0 mode, comparable to Corsair Voyager GTR 32GB that I have. These won't work on devices like Xbox 360, PS3 and TVs, because of the hardware encryption it has.
