The stick is pretty small and is very sturdy. The read and write speeds are good, but does as the GT-series of its big brother one better. The only thing I do not like, the slide to bring the front part to light acts not very durable. However, by and large, a buy recommendation from me. I take him to the car radio, and have to say that this is my first stick is hanging out of any two feet from the Radio and disturbs.
