1TB POC. I have used SanDisk flash drives for years. Read and write speeds are generally good.This is the WORST thumb drive I have ever had. Running MacOS Sonoma. Initially, I tried to load files and was getting messages that it would take a week or more. Terminated process, tried to reformat disk, disk utility app could not format, erase, etc. I had to format it from a PC. Still takes forever to load files. When I insert the drive, it takes forever for it to be recognized. Then, when I open it, no files appear for awhile. If I close the disk and try to eject it, my computer freezes with the color wheel of death. The only way to eject it sometimes is to shut my Mac down and even then it takes longer. Looking for a better alternative
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just what I ordered. BUT with just a little use the drive gets very hot. I mean too hot to handle until it cools off. Ordered two and would have ordered two more except for the heating.
