    SanDisk 16GB Ultra Fit USB 3.1 Flash Drive - SDCZ430-016G-G46

    • It is everything that was advertised; compact, 128gb, encryption, good speed.
    • While I understand it is a very compact drive, these speeds are still unacceptable by today's standards
    • Stays relatively cool and has pretty fast speeds
    • Read speed is OK, but any flash drive these days will have pretty good read speeds
    • I was not concerned about ultra fast speeds, however, it was fast enough to keep me from downing a cup of coffee (unofficial speed test).
    • 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
    • I purchased 64 gb pen drive, it found to be nice capacity drives with excellent speed
    • It transferred at a decent speed, videos where a bit slower than the photos, and so were larger files in general
    • Great speed and size
    • These Cards, new model Sandisk USB Flash Drives for 2018, 15X faster speed of data tranfer and 128GB of storage for $30.00, way better than Wal-Mart
    • 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
    • The write speeds degrade a bit as you keep running write cycles on it, but generally each cycle will get up around 60MB/s
    • Decent speed.
    • The speeds are slower than USB 1I'm using USB 3 port on my computer that with my other USB 3 hard drives drives transfer at rates that are 20-30 times faster than this drive
    • Pros- Read speed is fantastic on usb3 port
    • The read speeds are great, USB 3.1, the write speeds are not
    • It is a usb 3 drive but the write speed is pretty slow
    • Storage size is great and speed seems fine although not formally tested.
    • Speed for me is important, so I cannot recommend this enough in that regard
    • As it stands, the performance issue really won't be much of an issue (they mostly house lots of relatively small files), but if you will be relying on needing reliable USB 3.0 speeds you may want to look elsewhere.
    • what can i say, great speed of transfer for usb and very compact and portable, fit great on a key chain for easy access for my use.
    • Same slow speed like the previous model
    • So, after trying out a number of USB drives I arrived to the conclusion that if you want speed- better go for storage capacities of 128 GB or more as they aren’t flash drives but are miniature Solis state drives which offer the greatest speeds of all
    • save your money, this is an ok drive, it gets really hot and does not keep a consistent write speed
    • What I noticed is the speeds are not very consistent
    • Also works at good speed
    • But.... when transferring a 3GB video file from the flash drive they both get a very fast speed of about 260MB/s
    • The write speed is about 35MB/S and if you write continuously, due to the flash drive become extremely hot(It could burn your finger if you touch it), the write speed will drop to 13MB/S or even lower.
    • So I was aware of the slow speeds
    • We just ordered 3 of this new model (the 256GB) and noticed very slow write-speeds
    • ’s not even there, good transfer speeds, material seems little delicate though!!
    • As with most sandisk usb drives that are low cost the write speed is slow but the read seems to be off the charts
    • Cannot maintain decent write speed for long
    • Unbelievable slow writing speed on USB 3, older Samsung flash drive did the same 27GB files in less than half the time.
    • Write speeds slow down significantly with sustained copy operations
    • Really good drive and really good speed for 16 gb version
    • Plenty of space, very small, good speed, but I wouldn't take in out has much as the metal version.
    • I transfers at pretty decent speed from PC to USB but when it comes to USB to USB it can take some time but that also depends on the other drive
    • All of my new 256GB 3.1's seem to be the same (slower-write) speed
    • Love the extreme low profile of this, but I am very disappointed by the slow speeds
    • After about 20s at 50MB/s, write speed dropped like a rock, averaging <5MB/s
