Pros & Cons
Pros
The 64gb version of this drive is excellent for creating and running encrypted linux installations. I use it on a gigabyte mini-pc which i got from amazon for about $180 including 8gb of dram.
Sandisk is a dependable product, which the manufacturer will always stand behind. Seems durable with the metal construction.
Cons
Slow and oscillating write speeds. Re-formatted, multiple times on multiple pc's, no help. As far as i'm concerned, this negates any performance aspects of this drive.
Product gets very hot, almost too hot to touch. After it heats up, it begins to malfunction or get sluggish. Biggest complaint is this thing get scorching hot to the tough. It gets too hot even when idling.

Unfortunately, roland fantom 8 doesn't support bigger usb drive size, i tried.
Price
I use a gigabyte mini-pc which i got from amazon for about $180 including 8gb of dram as my "secure" pc, and it has all the power i need.
A very good value for the $12 or so i paid.
It works perfectly, though i did think it was a bit expensive.
Competitiveness
Worth the money, this is similar to the samsung bar
The 50+ write is better than my lexar though the random reads and writes are painfully slow.
I have other drives that get hot so this is likely a common problem.
