Yep, it's awesome. I got it on a 70% discount. I'm not sure it really classifies as a memory stick as it is indeed an SSD.Reading further on this beast. It's basically a SSD with a USB 3 connector. It shall be running UASP. Does Merlin firmware support it? @RMerlin
I've no idea what UASP is, or if the drive supports it. The output of hdparm -I is:
