Review on πŸ’Ύ Sandisk Ultra USB Flash Drive 128GB Black - Reliable & Speedy Data Storage (SDCZ48-128G-A46) by Steven Latham

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not good for large backups.

I bought this 128GB USB 3.0 stick to backup my hard drive. The first backed up the drive once and failed on the second attempt. Revain replaced this flash drive and the replacement failed on the first try. The backup contains around 400,000 files, but it is significantly less than 128 GB, and most of the files are small. This flash drive gets very hot and goes into write protect mode. While there are instructions online for resetting the write protect bit, they don't work when this happens. On the computer screen, the write-protect bit appears to have been cleared, but the drive still doesn't work. I spent hours fixing the first error. To make matters worse, Revain does not offer refunds for replacements. The lesson to be learned is: do not accept a substitute for this product. Get a refund. I have a similar USB 2.0 stick suitable for this task, also made by SanDisk. This flash drive is very fast, but it heats up and breaks down on large backups.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
