PNY seems to be faster but less reliable, any other good options. Looking around the $10 range, kind of just buying because it would be convenient to have a USB drive I guess

4k writes are awful with the pny drive. I don't recommend it (4k writes are most regular files).

so you would recommend the Sandisk over the PNY?
