If you're on a budget, the adata s102 pro has quite good performance for the price.

Other then that, how do you define a "good" USB flash drive. What's important to you? Performance? Reliability*? Price? or something else?

*not that USB drives should be considered reliable.

What would you consider reliable? Brands and models?

But having a big(ger) brand on it does tend to be slightly more reliable. At least compared to no-name ones. Its no guarantee though.

Some actually do have SSD controllers in them, so I would think those should be long lasting.

I've been using a bunch of Adata S102 drives in the last three years or so: 16 (x2), 32 (x2), 64 (x4) and two128 GB (which I have not used yet).
No complains. I trust them, but maybe it's just luck, of course.
