Worth the $
Love the led light show, makes my rig look high tech even though it's older. Keeps all my secret files safe on a killswitch. Highly recommend for CIA analysts and spies!

Best USB stick I’ve ever had
This is easily the best USB stick I’ve ever had. It’s durable steel, packed with memory, and the color changing light is a sweet touch. Will definitely order more.

just a flashy usb stick
Didn't like the matte white plastic for the led cap could be acrylic or some thing else. But i do like the all metal body and for 25 bucks that's a lot of space!

looks cool, but is actually trash
This drive will show a decent 30-40MB/s benchmark using crystaldiskmark, but in actual usage, it falls to its knees and takes your computer with it. It seems to just randomly give up on life while writing anything to it. The LED will stop blinking, transfer speeds drop to 0, then it resumes after a few seconds, writes a small amount of data, then dies again and repeats this process over and over. Windows explorer, or any other application handling the transfer will also completely freeze up during the times when this drive is unresponsive. So not only does it take about an hour to complete a 5GB transfer, you also can't use your file system while it's doing that.I work at a PC repair shop and tried this drive in various random computers around the shop, it behaves the same regardless of what I plug it in to, including my phone. So I can confidently blame this on the drive itself, and not my computer. Maybe I got a dud? I doubt it, I've seen this behavior in usb drives in the past, it's a very obvious sign of a cheap controller.If you've ever used the super cheap micro center usb drives, this behavior will sound familiar to you. These drives behave very similarly, only the micro center ones cost about one tenth the price of these so it's somewhat justifiable. Also, the micro center drives don't freeze your system, despite their jumpy speeds.On the plus side, the drive does look super cool, and has a nice hefty metal construction. So if you need a cool techy looking paper weight, this is definitely the product for you.I'm tired of these usb drives performing like absolute garbage. I suggest instead buying an external SSD or a microSD card reader and a good SD card. At least SD cards have actual published standards and specification that they must perform to. USB sticks live in a world where manufactures pump up the read speeds, but somehow think that sub USB 2.0 speeds are actually useful to anyone.

Be sure to check the actual storage size
When I has got my first T Force RGB 128Gb Flash Drive, it read in the properties menu that it only had 32GB of data, the sleeve it was in said 128gb, the box said 128gb, but it was a 32gb, luckily I got mine replaced, but this is only a reminder why you should always check and test your products before you settle into using them normally, other than that, its a cool flashdrive, the rgb transitions smoothly, it only flashes when it's reading or writing and the lights are very pleasing visually

Slow
The SanDisk Extreme Pro 3.2 crushes it in transfer speeds.

Impractical, loosely put together, expensive for the quality
This drive is cool looking and the RGB lighting is decent, but it feels loose and poorly constructed. I haven’t used it for anything important (game data, legal documents, receipts/invoices) because it is so loosely put together, and it feels fragile. However, if you’re just looking to make your machine or laptop look a little cooler, it will till you realize there’s no way to sync it with your desktop/laptop’s own RGB lights. At least that’s how I felt about it. Everything else I had was synced together, but my USB drive. It kind of stood out like a sore thumb. But to each their own. It’s still kind of cool that these are being made. I mean what does the future hold for the lighting possibilities? I guess I’ll just wait and see before I purchase another one of this brand’s RGB USB. Plus it’d be better if it were dual purpose as more and more manufacturers are beginning to use USB-C ports on their laptops.

119 gb of 128.
The idea is good in that you can visually see when space is running low by looking at the drive rather than checking properties.Potential "flaw" is 350 mb is reserved for and treated as a CD drive. This runs an app to drive the light at the end of the drive. The app could be targeted for malware/virus. I'll still use it but with caution in systems that do not have antivirus installed.
