Review on Sandisk Ultra Flair 128 GB Silver USB Flash Drive: Reliable and High-Speed Storage by Ask Itthipong ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

I am writing about the 32 GB version. Quite a decent flash drive for the money. It's a pity, only, the volume was cut off. I see this for the first time. I will not write the test results - they have already been posted by others, I have the same. If you plan to record two dozen gigabytes at a time, expect a speed of 20 Mb / s. Well, or dip the flash drive in cold alcohol from the freezer. You can also try to glue the radiator, but it is not so effective. I'm kidding, of course. For modest needs like copying a file up to 1 GB - quite a tolerable solution, writes at 80-90 Mb / s. And then it heats up - and you're 20. And at least here the metal case is in contact with air, which slightly improves the temperature regime compared to plastic brothers. At a price per gigabyte, it turns out something about inexpensive SSDs. Therefore, if you need to record very often and a lot, look towards either larger and more expensive models, or take small SSDs with a USB adapter, the speeds are not cut there, and there will be more.

Pros
  • Price/volume/speed. USB3. Metal body base. The size is narrow and not long. Stylish.
Cons
  • The size is lower than stated - should be 32022022022/1024/1024/1024 = 29.80 GB, in fact 28.60 GB. 800 MB wasted. Feels warm when recording. The write speed is greatly cut (probably from heating). It starts writing a whole file at 90 Mb / s, after ~ 1 Gb it cuts off sharply to 20 Mb / s. Reading is also cut, but not so much - from 130 to 90-100 Mb / s.
