Review on SanDisk Ultra 16GB (2-Pack) Dual Drive USB Type-C (SDDDC2-016G-G46) + Bonus Wisla Trust (TM) Lanyard by Amit Amit ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not quite what I wanted, but mostly okay.

I bought Xiaomi Mi8 for my phone to quickly transfer files between the phone and different computers (it’s inconvenient to carry a USB flash drive + otg cord and not always with me), but I failed the purchase: the cover (spigen) turned out to be too thick and the flash drive is not fixed (although it works), while still eating the battery. Not the best purchase, I would have known in advance - I probably used the cord + another usb2 flash drive. In principle, it copes with the task, I will not try to take it back. Reference speeds: read 157mb/s, write 49mb/s. (CrystalDiskMark, USB3, serial) Design: part of the usb3 connector is a board, nothing unusual in size or design, just such a feature, on top of the board there is a standard usb3 blue plastic and it has standard contacts on it like in a regular usb3. Purchased in the summer of 2022. The price is 900 for 64GB. Considering the jambs, the encryption software from SanDisk should work acceptable + (did not check).

Pros
  • Basically I liked the design, I thought the quality would be worse, but live it is quite good.
Cons
  • It heats up and consumes 60 mA in idle time, this is a fail . Any other flash drive connected via usb otg cord does not consume anything in idle time, but this one consumes just inserted, sadly. Perhaps this is a feature of the usb3 controller implemented in a small size, but for mobile devices this is very bad.
