Review on SanDisk Extreme Go 64GB USB 3.2 Type-A Flash Drive - SDCZ810-064G-G46 by Loud Forrest

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good size / Strange sliding mechanism

Let me start by saying that technically I haven't had any data transfer issues with this drive. It contains enough data, has secure software and is made by a well-known brand. So what's the problem. Well, it's all in the case. First of all, I'm concerned that it's distinctly portable, as you can use the loop for almost any lanyard or key ring through the hole provided, but not only is it cheaply made, the sliding mechanism sucks. Let's start with plastic. As soon as I touched it I thought it looked like it would break at the slightest pressure and an unexpected fall or bump. It's so light and just as long compared to the tiny metal parts you can get from Samsung. The reason for the poor length is that it's easier to apply pressure in the middle or on the sides than directly against the hole. That little loop at the end is also not flush and flexes vertically, which is great for handling but not so great for power. You want this little thing to be tender. Now let's move on to the retractable mechanism. The gray center is smooth, perfectly smooth, without any texture to help it extrude. This means you have to take your thumb and squeeze to push it all the way out to catch and hold it in that position, and then use your thumb again to push and push it back. It's not exactly hard to do, and I've seen some complaints about it not arriving the way it should in the end. Yes it is, but when you put pressure on the back the grip loosens and it takes a little getting used to, but it can also happen if you bump into it in port because it's so long. If you buy this to drop the box, hang it on the wall, and not constantly toss it in your pockets, purses, or purses, you'll be fine. If you run all the time I'm not sure how long the body will last. In terms of data transmission, it suited me. It doesn't break records but is fast enough for most. If you compare this, you already know that there are better options.

Pros
  • Looking forward to
