What flash drive would you recommend?

#Banana

Hi,

 

I'm having a dilemma, I need a small, fast and durable flash drive for my key chain. size is some what the least important but still a factor.

I currently have:http://www.amazon.co...G6WD8MX8X56TCD7 on my key chain its amazingly durable and great for small files such as documents.

I need a flash drive with at least  64gb and decent or amazing write speeds. primarily for movie transfers between devices.

I also currently own a 64 gb corsair gs http://www.amazon.co...asin=B00IVEGSMG. its great but its bulky as hell and doesn't fit in some usb ports due to its size.

What ive looked at so far is the Corsair 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Voyager Mini but its slow. Also the Corsair Flash Voyager GO 64GB. yes I am aware I'm stuck on corsair, they make great products...

I used to have a sandisk extreme POS http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-Flash-Drive-SDCZ80-032G-G46/dp/B00DZPUOU8/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1423247233&sr=1-2&keywords=sandisk+extreme+32gb+usb+3.0+flash+drive. it fell apart really fast, itwas not durable to say the least but it was a decent drive otherwise.

What do you recommend  for a flash drive that's fast, durable and small? 

The Corsair Flash Survivor is a bit bulky for my key chain, but tanks usually are!

Here is where I would keep my frolics if I had any.

I like this one. It's tiny, and USB 3.0. It'll likely be my next flash drive.

What's wrong with the one you currently have? It seems like it'd be pretty ideal.

I have the SanDisk drive and it's amazing, faster than most internal HDDs today on sequentials plus it's great at 4k random writes which is very important.

 

Edit: I'm not sure about Kingston drives, they are reliable but the random performance has been quite weak in my experience with them.
