Conclusion:

The 32GB version cost me only £24 which is £0.73 a GB. I don't have any other USB 3.0 drives so I can't say how this compares but I can say I won't need any other thumb drive any time soon. For the purposes I have this drive wins hands down. Turing the Sandisk Extreme 32GB into a multiboot live USB was incredible fast and easy and installing a distro took about 5 minutes each. If your looking for a speedy USB 3.0 thumb drive then I can honestly say look no further.

Please don't expect fast speeds if you have a slow fragmented HDD and/or use it in a USB 2.0 slot.
