No reviews on Amazon, only of a fake USB2.0 version.

I can do a thorough test of mine if you want, so you can see the performance figures and the actual size. I think I bought mine from the Ebay seller I linked to

Is it worth the price tag?

Sandisk Extreme 64GB.  (link).

 

It's going to give you nearly the fastest speeds you can find on USB 3.0 drive,  have high reliability, and has a decent price for the performance & capacity.  This is the one drive you want when looking for USB 3.0 flash drives.71Njs4pLTZL._SL1500_.jpg

1)  Yes, that's the correct model (SDCZ80-064G-G46).  Tear that sucker open, and start using it!

 

2)  Technically, it is possible to run Windows off of a USB flash drive with Windows 8 (link to instruction guide).  However, I wouldn't recommend it for daily / general use.  This is really intended for people who need a portable version of Windows to carry between multiple computers, instead of single-computer users looking for speed.  

 

USB 3.0 flash drive speeds typically show sequential read/write speeds.  Unfortunately, sequential data patterns only make up about 5% of the usage when dealing with running an OS or applications.  The remaining 95% of data access patterns are random read/write speeds.  And USB 3.0 flash drives do not have fantastic performance when it comes to random read/writes.  You're going to want a true SSD if you're looking for speed here.

 

Furthermore, USB flash drives have significantly poorer reliability than SSDs or mechanical HDDs.  They were not designed to be constantly hit with read/writes.  So it's not uncommon for a USB flash drive to heat up quickly (and maintain that high temperature) when you're constantly read/writing to it.  And subjecting a USB flash drive to high temperatures over long periods of time is the best way to kill a USB flash drive.
