Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here.

Actual 30MBs on the write will be tough. I own a Memina Rocket which is very fast. But suggest you also look into the Corsair Flash Survivor GT and the Patriot Extreme Xporter XT Boost.
