The product is 100% defective. If you want to transfer large files it will stop midway. It will randomly disconnect and say it was ejected improperly. It will also get so hot that it burns your fingers. This happened to me with the original purchase and 3 replacement drives. Do not buy this under any circumstances.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very slow

I tried to transfer files from M2 SSD to this USB stick via USB3 port. Maximum speeds I was getting was 52MB/s. Average - 25 MB/s. Other manufacturer's USB drive was steady at 100 MB/s. I am not sure if this drive is faulty or that's it's maximum speed indeed.

It does not work with my iPad Pro. This is the sole purpose of why I bought it, so it’s just a brick.
