Customer Ratings & Reviews

Fast, fast, fast! Exactly as advertised. Excellent

I didn't time it, but the transfer rate using USB 3.0 seemed faster than others. It also includes built in encryption if you care to use it.

Great flash drive and extremely fast storage option. Nice to use to save photos and videos on.

I know this may be petty but this move to eco friendly is nuts when you're talking about a flash drive. $1 will power this thing for 2 years. SanDisk "start" putting lights back on the flash drives. I have a titanium Cruzer that is probably the best flash drive I have ever owned but it is too small(2GB). We need to know they are working and are finished with the transfer, put the LED back into the system. The gripes are over! This thing works very well, even in a 2.0 USB slot it seems to transfer 1.5 times faster than the 2.0 USB flash drive. I have not tried it in a 3.0 port but I am sure it will work as advertised. I would reccomend this to a friend if they don't mind the lack of a LED.

Pushing this USB drive with a Windows 7 OS, this can read easily at 190 to 200mb/s on a 3.0 port, and even 120 to 140 on a 2.0. USB. Write speeds are at 130 mb/s which is fantastic for a device under $60 with 32 gigs of memory. I was fortunate enough to find the very last 32 gig from SanDisk in the store. Very compact design makes it easy to fit alongside other USB devices. This company along with Kingston are the only two manufacturers in my opinion that make reliable, encrypted, secure and sturdy devices out there. You could pay 20 bucks for a very cheap no-name but after my friends died for no reason other than formatting, it pays to go with something that is trustworthy. And also the 3.0 is so much better than a 2.0 when it comes to transferring large video files, photos, documents are usually not that big. Bottom line would recommend this flash drive for anyone, especially those pushing large file data. And the exception is something that you can turn on or off but it will slow down slightly the write speed.

I tested this on both Windows and OSX, on USB 2.0 and 3.0 with about 5GB of files. Although the 2.0 was not nearly as fast, it was still faster than normal 2.0 drives with a write of about 20MB/s. On OSX and USB 3.0, speeds were 240+ Read and 210+ write, tested on the 15" rMBP late 2013 model, which means the SSD probably helped to keep up with the drive, whereas a Hard Disk Drive may experience throttling. The only thing about this is that the Sandisk Ultra USB 3.0, also a very good drive, can go on sale for a considerably cheaper price of about $20 for 32GB at BestBuy, with speeds up to 80MB/s. However, if you want the Fastest speeds and the most Reliable USB 3.0 drive on the market, get this one.

I get a transfer rate of 2GB in 60 sec with a USB 3.0, and over 6 minutes with a USB 2.0. However, when I copy from the computer's internal hard drive with 7400rpm to a portable external hard drive with 5400rpm, I get a transfer rate of 2GB in 18 sec. Portable external drive is still the best, but the USB is more easier to carry around.

All I can say is this little jewel is FAST! Well, it is fast when all connected devices are USB 3.0. I copied 14GB of videos (from a USB 3.0 external hard drive that connected to a new Mac Mini that has USB 3.0 ports) to this flash drive in less than 2 minutes. 6 files total of 8GB copied in less than a minute. SanDisk makes the best flash memory, memory cards and SSDs. All my memory products area SanDisk, some of them for almost 10 years. So you can't go wrong with this flash drive, fast, reliable and last forever.

I brought this item and for some strange reason after I added my videos to the USB Drive I cant seem to delete them
