ADATA releases Stylish UV310 flashdrives
ADATA launched the compact and light UV310 USB Flash drive. Made using sturdy chip-on-board (COB), unibody (one-piece) construction, the UV310 employs zinc alloy and sandblasted textures to combine a metallic look with a high degree of toughness.
It weighs just 4.7g and is available in up to 64GB. Fashionable, sleek, and sophisticated, the UV310 re-affirms the ADATA commitment to producing the finest USB drives.
ADATA utilizes unibody COB construction with the UV310 to ensure a compact but durable product that minimizes weak points thanks to a seamless design. Material-wise, the UV310 consists of zinc alloy, sandblasted to create a textured surface that resists scratches and is immune to fingerprint smudges. The gold color scheme of the UV310 lends it a very elegant look, emphasized by its high resistance to everything from dust to shocks and water exposure. This durability means wherever consumers go, their data remains well protected - far beyond the norms of generic, plasticky USB drives.
Super light but packing capacity
Despite weighing a mere 4.7g, the UV310 offers 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB of storage. It connects to devices using USB 3.1 at up to 5Gbps, and for extra convenience has a prominent hook that makes mounting straps, chains, and key rings easy.
Sleek universal compatibility
On top of fashion and performance, the UV310 provides instant, hassle-free connectivity with any device equipped with a USB port. PCs, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, consoles, entertainment systems, set top boxes, even industrial equipment: if it has USB, the UV310 works with it.

I also fear for read speeds.
I bet this has apalling write speed.

So... it connects to devices using USB 3.0?
Funny to me how ADATA is pulling an Apple here. Take a generic design that many other companies have used, add some curves to it, and suddenly it's stylish. Example:

yeah the speeds, especially write, of so many memory sticks is so bad. Most only hit about 15MB/s write without going high budget.
Most half decent ones these days can Write 35MB/s & Read 100 - 150MB/s.
- not too bad but large file writes can still feel very slow.
About 2 years back I bought a re(own)brand generic USB 3 128GB stick from a place called 7DayShop. They usually provided performance figures for all the sticks they sell (+ user reviews). That stick cost me about £23 inc. delivery and could when I tested mine (slightly higher than stated perf. too):
Write - 69 MB/s
Read - 206 MB/s
Great right. 6 months later I went to buy a few more and found their performance was halved (which they did also point out in provided perf. figs). A friend also bought one at this point and confirmed this, unfortunately he had not noticed the "new" performance stats beforehand.
A few months back I had another look and ALL the brands of high performance & good value sticks were no longer available. I checked a few other online UK stores too, same kinda story. (I did not do a Thorough research like I did a few years back and am sure there are still some great options out there, but Damn it can be hard work drilling down to find actual performance of the good value sticks)
Seems like almost no consumer happiness improvements in these things for ages to me.

@Humanoid_1
Have you tried TRIMing the flash drives? Windows is pretty sloppy when it comes to TRIM, where it attempts to do it on a schedule rather than in real-time. That being said, flash drives have a much lower probability of being optimized since they're not always plugged in.
