A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

A NTFS-formatted flash drive was used for the experiments. I had to copy two files totaling 7 GB. Motherboard USB 3.0 ports offer a true read/write speed of 130 MB/s and 19 MB/s, respectively. As seen in the picture. A separate hard drive (HDD) performed better for reading than the SSD running Windows 10.

Pros
  • A NTFS-formatted flash drive was used for the experiments. I had to copy two files totaling 7 GB. Motherboard USB 3.0 ports offer a true read/write speed of 130 MB/s and 19 MB/s, respectively. As seen in the picture. A separate hard drive (HDD) performed better for reading than the SSD running Windows 10.
Cons
  • There is a tight proximity between sockets on the motherboard. All good with other flash drives. This flash drive has a little thicker cover, so you can't use it to store two others.

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

Purchased on sale, well worth the money. There was an issue, and the flash drive perished. I respect this brand. It was discovered after speaking with technical support that their items have a 10-year warranty. Amazon had previously declined to replace.

Nice price, good quality.

Just yesterday I bought it to do one thing: transport movies from my PC to my TV. Therefore, trustworthiness assessments have not been made. You should probably go with metal or strong plastic for "for everyday" use. Because it costs twice as much as Samsung, all comparisons are beneath the belt. But even so.

Pros
  • 1. A five-year guarantee. TotalCommander benchmarks show a reading speed of 150 Mb/s for very large files. TotalCommander's measurements indicate a speed of 28 Mb/s while recording huge files. When writing the identical files, the "Samsung Bar Plus 64Gb" is just 25% faster, clocking in at 35 MB/s (Samsung's reading speed is 200 MB/s, or 12 GB/60 seconds). Third, endearing (but subjective). 4. Cost that is manageable.

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

Reading a 2GB video at 30m/s, recording at 15–18m/s, and using only a USB2 or USB3 connection are all possible with the original format. At a rate of 5-10 m/s, a large number of tiny files are copied. fat32 and ex fat formats are bad news; they are slow no matter the size of the cluster. Ntfs formatting is required, and results appear to be consistent between 512 bytes and 4 kilobytes (did not recheck). Since I've only been using it for two days, I won't comment on its longevity. However, I

Pros
  • priority 1: efficiency, priority 2: form

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

I wanted to buy 16 GB, inadvertently ordered 32 GB. The price is almost the same. I bought it to prepare an installation flash drive for Windows 10. Everything went well I recommend

Pros
  • Fully corresponds to the description. Works smart.
Cons
  • Not found.

Nice price, good quality.

The flash drive is surprisingly terrible, but fast and tenacious. 4/5 seems to be well deserved. Pros below: 1) Fast 2) By pushing it in, it can be hidden, so the cap will not be lost 3) There is ReadyBoost. You can use it as a 32 GB swap file (the maximum space allowed for this purpose) 4) Wow, she's still alive! And why I rejoice, I will describe in shortcomings. Cons: 1) Squishy 2) All creaks, wedges and backlash. The construction is useless. It's amazing that she's still alive. 3) And the…

More storage, more power

This flash drive has exceeded my expectations. The extra storage is perfect for my computer needs and the ultra-fast transfer speed makes it extremely convenient for transferring data. Based on my observations, this drive is perfect for both PCs and Macs. The only drawback is its comparatively high price, but it is well worth the extra money for its quality and performance.

Pros
  • Ample storage space for large amounts of data.
Cons
  • Relatively expensive compared to other flash drives with lower storage capacities.

A useless product, its not worth the money.

The read speed corresponds to the declared ones (up to 100Mb/s) and is ~80Mb/s when copying a large file from it, but the speed of writing a large file to it does not exceed ~15Mb/s, which does not even reach the maximum write speed for USB 2.0

Great drive but problem with included software

This SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0 flash drive works exactly as you expect it to. Transfers to and from the card seem to work fairly quickly. The drive is a standard size and, like many others, has a slide button for inserting and ejecting the USB connector. It also has a blue light indicating the transmission is ready and active. The disc is labeled so that it is clear which side to turn it to in order to insert it correctly. (I hate drives that have to be tried one way and then the other because you…

This is the last Sandisk flash drive I will buy.

I bought a set of two hard drives, one failed and went into write protect mode. According to Sandisk Customer Support, "Write protection errors occur when a flash drive detects a potential malfunction within itself. The drive enters read-only mode to prevent data loss. There is no way to fix this. To ensure that the problem is with the flash drive and not your computer, we recommend that you plug the USB drive into a different port on your computer. You should also try the drive on another…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Protection
