This kind of across the board performance is so rare that there is no doubt that as of today this is the fastest all round consumer grade flash drive your hard earned money can buy. As well as being ... Pros: Superb performance, retractable capless design. Cons: Weighs a lot. [Jun '12 USBFlashPro]

I bought mine for 20€, which I guess puts it on par with the Sandisk Extreme in your hierarchy or even higher if you add to the mix the Lexar lifetime warranty. Highly recommended.

This drive is different from the rest, they use a different technology which seems to give it orders of magnitude better write performance than most the other USB 3.0 drives. Pros: Unbeatable sequential write speed. Cons: Relatively expensive.

The Lexar Triton is part constructed of brushed metal giving it a very solid feel. It is also very fast, particularly at reading and writing large files. The only problem I have with the Triton is its 4K write speed which is only slightly above average. So despite the Triton's record breaking sequential write speed, for day to day use, the Sandisk Extreme is far quicker thanks to its record breaking 4K write speed. Additionally because the Extreme costs around half as much as the Triton, the Extreme is a no-brainer.

I ordered the 32 gig version. Should be here shortly. I will post benchmarks after testing the one I receive. Some have made negative comments about the Lexar Triton and lauded the SanDisk Extreme because of its 4K random write speed. But the jury appears still out on that one. It seems not everyone is attaining the 4K speeds of the sample reviewed here. Additionally, Amazon.com and newegg.com customer comment sections are indicating a high rate of failure on the SanDisk Extreme. Finally, the Lexar Triton significantly outperforms the SanDisk Extreme in several areas: it nearly doubles the SanDisk's sequential write speed, triples its copy speed, and the Lexar has a 40% longer useful life expectancy. Surely it does not deserve a rating of "poor" as some have posted. That being said, I will probably (also) purchase a SanDisk Extreme in several months when they get these issues resolved. I will modify my rating on the Lexar after I do benchmarks.
