We had the chance to review the SK hynix Tube T31 1TB and gave it an Editor's Choice award for its performance. Our tester noted that this flash drive stick was a little bulky and could possibly block neighboring USB ports on some devices, but the build and form of the drive were sturdy and well-constructed. The Tube T31 did however show off class-leading performance compared to its peers and had some of the fastest transfer speeds available for a USB-A device.
