Review on 🍑 SanDisk 128GB Ultra Dual Drive Go USB-C Flash Drive, Peach - SDDDC3-128G-G46PC by Broderick Shetler

- Fast: I downloaded the latest version of CrystalMarkDisk 7.0.0 x64 from CrystalMark.info website. I tested the 32GB drive straight out of the box formatted with the FAT32 file system. As you can see from the numbers, an average of 5 1GB reads are performed at 155.18 MB/s. It's as fast as you'd expect from a mechanical hard drive. Writes 46.77. It's good for a flash drive. Small: Almost the size of a AAA battery (triple), only thinner. It's smaller than a regular house key and much smaller than a car key. Only the length of the USB-C metal end is longer than my Kingston 8GB, which I've had for years and been through a war.-OTG: The biggest downside to my Kingston is the lack of USB-C, which means I have a need an OTG cable to share with my phone or someone with a MAC. I plugged it in and my Note 9 recognized it immediately. Keychain: I was concerned that the slot might not be big enough for my keychain hitch to fit through. There was enough room for it, and there was plenty of free space on the cable.- 32GB: Browsing the tests on the web, I found a pattern between the capacity and speed of USB drives of the same base model, depending on the technology used. Sometimes devices with more capacity are faster and sometimes devices with less capacity. With the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go USB Type-C - SDDDC3 Flash Drive and its closest relative, the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive USB Type-C - USB-C, USB 3.1 - SDDDC2 Flash Drive, the picture is "smaller is faster ". My test also confirms this. Bigger doesn't mean better for other reasons. 32GB is the maximum size you can use in FAT32 format. Almost everyone can read the FAT32 format. If you want it to be bootable, FAT32 can also be used to boot computers, secure boot and set up UEFI and BIOS without reconfiguring the computer and losing visibility of the computer's hard drive. If you see yourself using it for all these things then FAT32 and max 32GB is the only way to do it all from a single USB stick. You will hear people say that you can partition it in Windows 10 and get a FAT32 partition. That's true, but then only Windows 10 and UEFI can read it, and if you use it to boot, it'll be amazingly slow, and that's the case even if you have a 32GB FAT32 partition on a blazing fast SSD create, let alone on a flash drive .memory. Disc. Temperature: People talk about heat, but I tested it with my heat gun, which is very accurate. He went from 71F to 72F and back to 71F. Then I noticed that the closer I measured to the laptop, the warmer it was. I found the laptop's port area to be 77F, so I don't know if it heats up noticeably at all. Durability: No decision yet on how well it will hold on my keychain. My metal Kingston has an ugly dent on the NARROW side on the corner that had to be hit kinda hard to create it. There seems to be enough plastic where the key fob goes through the mount. Swivelling a flash drive could be a point of failure, but the natural tendency would be for it to float around in the mount. Most concerning is the rectangular connector on the USB-A end, which looks like vinyl plastic, as opposed to the metal end of USB-C. However, after this update 7 weeks later, it's holding up well.
