Review on πŸ“Έ SanDisk 32GB Ultra Fit USB 3.1 Low-Profile Flash Drive (2 Pack Bundle) - SDCZ430-032G-G46 with Bonus Everything But Stromboli Lanyard by Jimmy Garcia

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Initial thoughts and testing

Received both discs in retail packaging. Both packages were in a zipped bag with a carrying strap. Bracelet: Mine looks slightly different than pictured as mine is blue with white lettering. Its length is about 5 inches from end to end. One side says "Everything but Stromboli" and the other says bulkmemorycards.com. The fabric stretches a little, but not enough to wear around the wrist. : Made of plastic, matte black plastic body and glossy translucent dark gray plastic end as shown in the photos. The drives easily fit my PC, USB hub and laptop. Their small form factor is enough to pack 2 side by side on a USB hub. Because of their tiny size, there's hardly anything protruding from the computer that could be hit with a chair. Or it would be fine for a car if you have a USB input on your receiver, as there isn't much protruding anything horrible inside, um to describe the size in hand, they are about the size of a Logitech Merging Receiver (a small wireless dongle for Logitech devices), and the Crystaldiskmark speed test is shown below. No expert testing here, but during real-world testing I copied a 4GB file at about 60MB/s, but after about 5 seconds the speed dropped dramatically. After writing lots of files, this little dude is getting HOT! When transferring large files, it could actually be thermal throttling as it continuously speeds up and slows down after a few seconds. Although I can't properly test this theory. Just expect file write speeds to average around 15-20MB/s when writing >1GB of data at a time, and around 50-60MB/s when writing <1GB of data at a time. Read speeds are another story, it seems happy to buzz at around 130MB/s even when working with large files. In general I am satisfied with the purchase. As long as they last as long as most other SanDisk drives I use, I will have no problem buying these models again.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
