Review on 32GB SanDisk USB Flash Drive (SDCZ430-032G-A46) by Felicja EF ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

An unattractive product, an unprofitable purchase.

Reading speed is almost equivalent to the one that was declared, which is approximately 130 MB per second. a sluggish rate of writing (even on USB 3.1 port). In the beginning, the buffer in RAM simply fills up, and it appears that the speed is good. However, very quickly, everything falls into place, and the speed stabilizes at approximately 20 MB per second. I did not care for the fragile plastic USB connector at all because it bends easily whenever it comes into contact with fingers, so you have to handle it with extreme caution. And lastly, I must say that I was taken aback by the news that Sandisk intentionally misleads customers about the capacity of their drives. It is also indicated on the packaging of this drive that one gigabyte is equal to 1000000000 bytes. Manufacturers define one gigabyte as 1000000000 bytes. First things first, we compare the actual capacity to the 64GB that has been declared. 64000000000/1024/1024/1024=59.6GB Contrary of the 59.6 gigabytes that were advertised, the actual capacity is 57.3 gigabytes. I checked all of my other flash drives and hard drives, and the volumes all match up with what was declared. However, Sandisk did not report 2.3 gigabytes, which is approximately 4% of the total capacity. There are a total of 2 points available for this flash drive. That should have been 3, but the loudness was tricked into thinking it was only 2.

Pros
  • Tiny size, weight
Cons
  • Slow writing speed, fragile plastic connector, and volume that is significantly lower than advertised.
