Once reformatted, "Properties" showed it to be only 32GB.The price seemed like a great deal for a 256GB drive but was very overpriced for a 32GB flash drive

Great price, but these run VERY, VERY hot compared to other drives with the same capacity.

I got two of these at a great price and combined them into a 512GB backup drive using Apple's RAID software

3.7x slower than Extreme Gorobocopy "C:\Steve\Images\2018"

I just needed a general purpose flash drive and this was a good price

A great way to add "an internal drive" that is recognized, good size, and easily removable

love the small size as I leave it always plugged into my small laptop.

However, it is not a standard size for a USB 3.1/3.0 port and does not work with any of my current devices that support USB 3.1/3.0.

For this flash drive, if I never used more than 32GB and/or didn't reformat it to make it a Windows Install USB, I would not have known about the fake size of the flash

The small size is nice in that it doesn't protrude from my laptop like other flash drives that I have to be careful not to damage with movement.

Excellent product, food enough to satisfy the needs for daily backup in my laptop.

SanDisk is sending a new one, but I still don't trust this product.

I love this product because its super slim and small but holds 128gb of memory!

After having a few days to try this out, transferring over 100 Gbs of files onto it, I can honestly say that this is a solid product

n’t lose it

Works as expected does get hot but not so hot you cant touch it.

Even in the burning hot sun it continues to work as expected.

Works as expected, but it is really small - and easy to confuse with usb antenna devices

229 GB available on a 256 GB thumb drive---before putting anything on it

Currently, this is the only 256 GB Fit size drive available that I am aware of

Be sure to plug it into a USB 3.1 Gen 2 port - only then does it perform the 30 seconds 1-2 GB write magic

Won't work as extended storage for PS4 because it only reports 246GB available and the PS4 has a hard minimum of 250GB for external drives

Ultra Flair 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive - SDCZ73-

The USB worked excellent for the first month, then started giving trouble to read / write files until it completely stopped working

My previous ultra-fit USB died recently in just 2 years & yet again I am here buying a sandisk just because of its minimal signature

The minor complaint I have which is going to be a given since the size of the thumb drive is really small is that the USB can get really hot over a short amount of time

It slows to usb 2.0 speeds after only a minute of writing data and after about 5 minutes of reading data

The read speeds are great, USB 3.1, the write speeds are not

If you are ok with this then buy away, but I prefer metal.

If I pause the transfer to let the drive cool down, it'll start quickly again and then slow down as

While I liked the feel of sturdy metal, transferring huge amounts of data at blinding speeds did overheat that one on one of my computers

It does its job, limited as that may be.

n’t lose it

- Poor quality, drive got fully corrupted after only a month

If I could go back I would either spend a bit more or get a smaller but more quality drive, but that being said I won't be sad if I lose this one which is a useful quality for an EDC object

Not as fast as it claims to be...hardly get 40mbs (less than half of advertised speed)

good quality but be aware, their custom garbage bags are expensive and poor in qulity

Great product...been using a verity of SanDisk flash drives for years and they are always great quality

This isn't the fastest flash drive in the world and does get a little warm when you are writing to it, but it doubled the space on my SSD laptop by simply plugging it in.

The only thing that does work is returning the faulty SanDisk flash drive to the place of purchase.

After it arrived, I ran the standard fake flash check, and this drive really was 256GB

I am now stuck with a flash drive that doesn't work, and can't be returned.

Super durable, cheap flash drive I would recommend to any one

This was a great little device and until recently I would have given it 4 stars

I can't comment with actual figures but this device doesn't "seem" any faster than the USB 2.0 little brother that I had previously using a USB 3.0 port on my PC.

This is by far the worst external device I have ever purchased!

All in all I trust this device for backing up my files and will buy another if needed.

While the disk itself functions, the storage is not adequate

Amazing so much storage on a small drive, I keep it in my Chromebook

If I pause the transfer to let the drive cool down, it'll start quickly again and then slow down as

I am a university student who wanted to add a bit more secure storage to my computer and this is perfect

Not recognized by device as storage, unable to reformat

It's a little warm (120°F~135°F) even in passive use though.

The flash drive still offers slow transfer speeds of around 15-25mb for write, read is much higher, and still gets very hot when transferring files

If I pause the transfer to let the drive cool down, it'll start quickly again and then slow down as

Unfortunately, after only about 4 weeks the drive got corrupted while transferring over some files

Super fast transfer speeds even though I haven't benchmarked it

save your money, this is an ok drive, it gets really hot and does not keep a consistent write speed

Read speed is OK, but any flash drive these days will have pretty good read speeds

Really good drive and really good speed for 16 gb version

As with most sandisk usb drives that are low cost the write speed is slow but the read seems to be off the charts

It is everything that was advertised; compact, 128gb, encryption, good speed.

Not as fast as it claims to be...hardly get 40mbs (less than half of advertised speed)

I purchased 64 gb pen drive, it found to be nice capacity drives with excellent speed

3.1 Flash Drive is advertised as a 128GB drive, which should have a usable data storage capacity of about 119GB.

However they want to flip their #'s, they have severly overstated the capacity of this drive and have screwed the customer over in the end

Will update review if this heat issues become a real problem

I do really like it other then the heat issue

is they have figured out the heat issues and this USB drive barely gets warm compared to the heat output of the older usb 3.0 model.

I believe this was done with a purpose on the manufacturer to alleviate the heat issues with the previous model (which I also own

I'm guessing that this one will have less heat issues, though I have not used is extensively, and I'm only assuming that because it is the newest iteration, but I have seen this happen
