It has decent read/write speeds for price point and the metal frame dissipates heat well as the thing will be getting used constantly. I have one OS (Ubuntu) that was used on one of these USB sticks for 3+ years as a daily driver. Slowdown became evident after 3 years or so. It still works though.
When setting persistence on MK-USB go larger rather than smaller as this will be the size of your hard drive on the new computer. The remainder of the USB stick will function normally for saving files. I use external hard drives for all movies and media. The reason I have never installed Linux on the hard drive is that the PC is 12 years old and the HD died. I get such a good experience off the stick I am not going to replace it.
