It's not as fast as a USB 3.0 would be.

If you are looking for a fast USB flash drive this is not an option.

True it isnt the fastest USB flash drive around, but when I copied 6GB worth of data (various sizes ranging from 5MB to 1GB

Great extra usb drives at Amazons great prices

I have other high end Sandisk usb drives like the Extreme and they are great, but The Blade is slower than a glacier and almost useless, unless you are looking for a tiny usb to attach to your car keys to handle small files

It's a decent USB drive and cheep

A minor annoyance in an otherwise great USB drive

I wanted a compact USB drive this is definitely it.

I believe that a full metal surround protecting the contacts is absolutely essential for a portable USB device - this has a plastic surround protecting the contacts

this one will last a long timeUPDATE" this device is defective it broke the USB inside just fell

I would recommend this if you are looking for a compact and cheap usb device

Usb hasn't giving me a problem

But this is not for someone who is looking for a fast usb

I would recommend this to anyone who is an average computer user,someone who isnt looking for a super fast usb drive
