Review on SanDisk 128GB Ultra Dual Drive m3.0 - Android & Computer microUSB, USB 3.0 - SDDD3-128G-G46, Black by Danielle Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent speeds, build quality is below average

For the price I find the assembly just a bonus. I understand that at under $20 for 32GB, you're paying more for functionality than durability. That being said, I've bought discs for $10-15 with significantly stronger plastic than this. I currently use a Kingston metal drive but had to buy a new one as it has suffered a lot of wear over the years. Just looking at this one, I could tell it wouldn't hold up anywhere near the same wear and tear. My biggest concern was that because it has moving parts, daily use would aggravate the damage from being plugged in and unplugged from pockets, computers, pockets, etc. Also, the keychain loop is terrible. The plastic there is the thinnest of all. That being said, the speed/price/size at this price point is second to none, which is why I bought this product in the first place. I ran my usual 4GB video read and write test and it was slightly faster than my previous device. If you know you don't need an ultra-durable drive, you should get one. But if you plan on using it on a variety of devices and storing it in multiple locations, I recommend shelling out a few bucks more for an all-metal alternative.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive
