The PQI Micro is not a fast performer, in fact, it's the slowest USB 3.0 thumb drive we have reviewed to date and it's also considerably over priced. There is however one saving grace for this drive, its form factor is by far the smallest we have ever seen on a USB 3.0 drive. Every single dimension (length, breadth, height, volume, weight) comes in lower than the USB 3.0 competition. So if you want a tiny USB 3.0 thumb drive and you can live with relatively slow performance then this could be the drive for you. We would suggest checking the various micro USB 2.0 options before purchasing this drive, you might find better value for money with only slightly slower performance. [Feb '13USBFlashPro]

The speeds are combined to form a single effective speed which measures performance for tasks such as copying photos, music and videos. Effective speed is adjusted by current price and capacity to yield value for money. Finally thousands of individual user ratings are used to validate our benchmark figures. [USBFlashPro]
