Professional reviewers acknowledge the Exodia's solid build and impressive read speeds for its price, but consistently criticize its poor write performance and reliance on QLC NAND, which leads to reliability concerns. While it may serve as a cheap read-only solution, it falls short for any demanding storage tasks.
Everyday users appreciate the drive's quick read response and convenient keyring design, but the overwhelming complaint centers on sluggish write speeds and occasional data integrity problems. Overall sentiment is mixed, with many recommending it only for light, read-heavy use.
