Review on SanDisk Ultra Flair USB 3.0 32GB Flash Drive (2 Pack) – High Performance with Everything But Stromboli Lanyard Included by Roger Alexander

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Less space than stated.

Just received (2 discs of 256 GB each). The first thing I noticed is that they only have 250,047,627,264 bytes. Yes, I am aware that the advertised area sometimes differs from the actual area. This is because humans use the base 10 number system while computers use the base 2 number system (aka binary). Watch. 256 GB (real base 2) = 274,877,906,944 bytes 256 GB (base 10) = 256,000,000,000 bytes Contents of this drive = 250,047,627,264 bytes. Use base 10 numbers. But even base 10 is still 6GB short of what it should be. To be honest, not worth giving them back (if they take them at all). I literally just got them and was about to format the first to a Linux filesystem and noticed a mismatch. I'll update later if it continues to disappoint or makes up for it in some way, but that's not a good start.

Pros
  • I like everything so far
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
