This stick is relatively fast, looks nice, is very small and well finished. I bought it in order the ReadyBoost feature my laptop to use. For this he is testing namely lt. Quite well suited. When reading it is not necessarily the Allerschnellste, it reaches about 17 Mb / s. This speed he creates but also almost in writing - that succeeds even the best and fastest Sticks rare: Most sticks have read fast an unbalanced relationship between the read / write speed. He also reads small file fragments rather fix (important for ReadyBoost).
For durability, I can only say: Who does not look out of the box that clearly shines forth on the back of the board layout with black lacquer and thus sensitive is close to the surface ... well, I can not help unfortunately. While this contradicts Verbatim Product Description (can I be bathed water and dirt) but it should be clear, however, that USB sticks are not endlessly resilient. A scratch with the key and down the stick. If you're not stressed and torments him, he does his job well, quickly and reliably.
