Highlights
Quality
Easy to use of course and is pretty sturdy.
This has an excellent form factor and i really like the self enclosure function to protect the male prong.
I reformatted for the fat32 file structure and started loading in folder after folder of mp3 songs.
Got new phone that didn't have the additional memory slot and was disappointed for new phone's memory.
Price
I'm kind of surprised it took this long for usb-c devices to start hitting the market at reasonable prices, but here it is!
Competitiveness
However, i placed it next to the smallest usb drive i own and an "average" one for comparison.
Also, i wanted to point out that you can see that pny has etched the storage capacity on the drive.
