Anyone curious this means "Write once read many" and a common example would be a media drive where you write data one time (since it's relatively slow to write) and read data many times (since it's fast), for example by playing the media from the drive

"Ultra fast" is highly contextual. 130mbps read 30mbps write. I just bought a micro sd that performs better than that, but this drive is only $10.99. For that price it would work fine as a w.o.r.m. drive

Great price point. We're using these and the 128GB at my work. I've had good luck so far.

I bought the 128GB version for $8.50 last week, H2testw came back at 40MB write and 140MB read for all of them, good enough for me.

Yes. Please don't buy those. Buy the ones with 400mb/second.
