Looking for a new USB flash drive, reliability first, speed second, any recommendations please?

Like the look of the Transcend 700, as I've had an older Transcend JetFlash 600 USB 2.0 drive that's been reliable, but open to other suggestions too.
 
I have the Corsair survivor 32gb for some time now, worked like a beaut. Can't compare the speed to other usb3.0 sticks but is plenty fast enough for me.
 
got a good one from the forest, £17 for 32gb. integral, great speeds even in 2.0 slots let alone 3.0!

What do you class as great speeds? Most USB 3.0 sticks don't have flash RAM fast enough to make use of the interface, The Sandisk Cruzer Extreme 32GB for about £25 would be my choice.

This is the speed of the 16GB version and the 32GB version has much faster write speeds.

Sandisk Cruzer Extreme 32GB can be had for under £30, and is the fastest USB drive I've used!

Yep got mine for £25 - tested with a 2GB file and I get 90MB/s read + write. Impressed!

Edit: Tried it on the SSD this time (transfer to usb flash), read is 130MB/s, 90 write.
