    SanDisk Extreme CZ80 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive - SDCZ80-016G-GAM46 [Newest Version]

    • Very fast transfer speeds, but the size and rigidity of it was very inconvenient
    • Extremely fast speed and has performed flawless so far
    • Speed has also been excellent, in a pinch I can copy an ISO to them (or even run a small VM) with no issue.
    • Read-speeds exceed what's promised (seeing as high as 260MB/s).Highly recommended
    • I love this USB drive, i transfer files from usb 3.0 port up to 110 mb/sec, better speed than transfering files between HDD partitions
    • As someone who has never had the pleasure of using USB 3.0 until very recently, I LOVE this thing.64GBs of space AND blazing fast speeds for $35 is not a bad
    • very fast speed, and
    • Excellent speed.
    • Great price, great speed.
    • Excellent upload and download speed
    • I have several 64gb drives and they work as advertised, average write speed well above 220MB/sec speed, read tends to be
    • Never match speeds on the box lol, but faster than almost every other drive of the same size I've ever tested
    • Sometimes write speed hits around 102, but hugely consistent with advertised speed
    • The speeds for the 64GB model reach the advertised speed and sometimes exceed it depending on the file size
    • The 64GB version has the fastest write speeds with slower speeds as they get smaller
    • , otherwise the speed would be limited at ~30MB/s only.
    • Awesome flash drive, great speed
    • Am astonished by its performance, it gives my up to 190mb as write speed for large single files, and starts at 100mb for large sequencial files like a season of a show
    • It may be capable of ever faster speeds; however, these were the speeds I observed
    • Fast write speeds and cheap at the price I got them, what's not to like?
    • Great speeds, as suggested by the other reviews that did the tests
    • So although this would be the perfect USB drive otherwise, I'm giving this product a poor rating--fantastic capacity and speed mean nothing if you cannot connect the unit.
    • Great drive, good speeds
    • Great speeds and very reliable
    • Amazing speeds
    • nice fast transfer speeds.
    • Great speed for the price.
    • Very good speeds
    • *snick*.The speed is phenomenal when paired with a device with high speed internals.
    • The speed of USB 3.0 is fast.
    • Excellent read / write speeds, good case design and size
    • So you buy this SanDisk Extreme Flash Drive because it has good speed and good ratings and it's a price you are willing to pay
    • Tested with 2GB transfer on a MacBook Pro, and the promised write-speeds are achieved (~100MB/s)
    • I already loved the speed of this
    • 3.0 speeds are so much better than 2.0
    • it's worth it if you want greasy fast speed in a thumb drive form factor.
    • Of coarse fast Speed in a Thumb drive doesn't really matter that much unless your talking about a Drive that is at least 65Gb or more and the files you'll be putting On and Off the drive are of considerable size, if not than the speed is not worth considering, and not worth spending more money on than a average speed drive.
    • The speed just 30MB/s, much slower.
    • I'm sure the speed of this drive is complete overkill but what the heck, I got it anyway
    • amazing speed
    • I wanted the read speed and it didn't disappoint!
    • The larger the drive, the faster the transfer speeds
    • It may have great speeds but as other people have said the build quality is poor
    • This write is 190M, read is 250M, the speed is very satisfactory, but I bought it is because it can be used WTG (TO GO WINDOWS), but it is a pity that no longer is the local disk, and can not use WTG, a friend can be used to buy WTG, but now 15 years can not, regret buying.
    • Fantastic speed
    • Best speed flash drive for the money.
    • Very fast write speeds.

    • Works great, good speed
    • Good price, good speed.
    • But I am using this drive off my TM-AC1900 router where the USB performance is better than the horrid 3.0 ports on the Dell, and getting similar results to the Dell's one decent high speed USB 3.0 port.
    • The speed is unbelievable!!
    • Amazing burst speeds, but inconsistent performance across the drive
    • I used to spend time buying cheaper drives that had such poor write speeds (but you only find that out when you test them) as most manufacturers post read speeds only.
    • I wish it had a metal shell, but for the price the speed and capacity are excellent.
    • You'll see that amazing speed only on single files.
    • it has a fantastic speed
    • Fast write speed, great stuff
    • great product with fast speeds
    • Stated speed is optimistic to the point of being misleading for real world use, but it's still my fastest flash drive.
    • speed is appreciated.
    • Good speed and stable
    • it's worth it if you want greasy fast speed in a thumb drive form factor.
    • Of coarse fast Speed in a Thumb drive doesn't really matter that much unless your talking about a Drive that is at least 65Gb or more and the files you'll be putting On and Off the drive are of considerable size, if not than the speed is not worth considering, and not worth spending more money on than a average speed drive.

    • This is a fairly big stick but the speed of it is well worth the money
    • It is a very high quality flash drive with amazing speed
    • It's simply not worth buying the super cheap drives that have slow transfer speeds
    • Write speed is a bit low compared to other results, but still way faster than any other flash drive I have tried.
    • I had a SanDisk 3.0 that I bought from walmart for a bit cheaper, but the speed was much slower
    • The drive might be a tad larger than some other flash drives, but the speed is several times faster than my other value-priced models
    • The speed kills, and as always rock solid functionality and performance from Sandisk.
    • I need a USB drive to copy lots and lots of small files between 2 computers, which necessitate fast random write speeds.
    • excellent speeds compared to even a 2 yr old usb 3.0 drive

    • It is a little bigger than I would like but the speed and the size, I'll compromise
    • The speed seems good.

    • This drive provides pleasantly fast speeds that will transfer large files or a large group of small files at speeds that will make you smile once you see the transfer rate

    • very high speed :) happy
    • Copies big files in fast speed
    • I thought super small USB drives were fun but their slow speed, and tendency to get lost in my pockets, made them worthless because I need usb sticks for quick transfers and not to plug into my laptop or phone on a permanent basis
    • Best speed so far with all tested USB flash disks I did
    • The speeds that this drive offer means that it should be more than adequate for being a portable OS drive (I quickly tested ubuntu and it worked flawlessly).One thing to note if you're planning on buying one of these drives is that they aren't the most durable things in the world
    • I thought super small USB drives were fun but their slow speed, and tendency to get lost in my pockets, made them worthless because I need usb sticks for quick transfers and not to plug into my laptop or phone on a permanent basis

    • Ohhh love the speed
    • A little longer than I anticipated, but speed is great and extends well

    • I've gone through probably 15 different drives trying to get the best speed and form factor
    • Very fast transfer speeds.
    • Incredibly fast speeds from a usb stick
