I have to say the drive writes and reads 1A, no problems with it since I bought it to me! From the point of view highly recommended. But I wanted to respond to the closure, it can be opened, for the harder close very easily. The other way around, I would prefer, because as I have already brought him "open" from his pocket, and in the long term I can think of this leads to problems. Who does not like me leads his USB stick constantly on his key ring with him, but should therefore probably have no problems.
