Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2024
It did have an autorun BAT file and an icon file. I'm assuming the BAT file was to tell your system to pull the icon, though I have that stuff disabled and didn't care to check before doing a full initial wipe.
Posting with a picture of CrystalDiskMark with the same settings as some others. I had it plugged into a USB 3.2 (Gen2) port. I noticed those that ran slower were on pots (like 3.0) that realistically are much slower than the advertised theoretical speeds for the standard.

The interface is USB-A and it comes with a decent quality adapter to connect to USB-C ports.
I know it's decent quality because I accidentally banged against the stick a number of times and even though the stock shifted, it did not lose connection.
Yes, it sticks out a bit - if you don't like that, get an external drive :-)
I formatted to APFS (for Mac) with two partitions - works well on Mac, although first very large file I wrote to the stick was unusually fast, the second time I transferred a file that size it went much slower - not too bad, around 400 MB/sec. It varies.
When I received it, I wondered if they sent me a knock off since the label looked warped.
Actually the stick is covered in transparent plastic protection. When I removed it, it looked right.
I've done filming and video editing for years and made thousands of dvd's with white glossy hub making beautiful designs on the label. However, I'll end up with hundreds of videos and thousands of pictures. It takes a lot of time plus hundred's of dvd's for each person is a great cost in dvd's ink, and mailing.
I finally thought as much as I enjoy the dvd's they are expensive and numereous hours for each dvd. I got to searching for the possibility something better.
I found it. A SSD-PUT 2TB Drive. It's very small yet holds a large quantity and all I do is go to my files and transfer a copy to my Buffalo SSD. It's a lot faster than my old way. Plus my family and friends can easy carry this and insert into, PC - Mac - TV - etc. Other words it works with everything. Look at the price!!!! I've used other products by Buffalo all have been topnotch.
My very expensive project has now saved me lots of money and time, plus it easy to carry than 200 dvd's.
LOVE IT
