Customer Ratings & Reviews

Small, fast and holds a ton of information. This is a good value,

Best Buy was running a decent sale on this flash drive, so I thought that I would try out the new USB 3.0 version. I already have several like this in USB 2.0. I have to say that it was money well spent. I regularly move files back and forth from work in the range of about 1 GB a pop. The transfer speed was about 20 times faster with the USB 3.0. I would highly recommend upgrading if you haven't already.

I purchased the Sandisk - Ultra 256gb Usb 3.0 Type A Flash Drive - Black as a backup device for my PC. The speed is fast and the amount of storage is large enough to backup all of my important files for safekeeping. If you are not backing up your data, you might regret it someday. Hackers are out there to mess with you. So, backup your key data files to protect yourself. This USB flash drive is a nice device to help you backup your files.

Great speed storage capacity for the price. Very portable

Needed a drive for a windows wipe, great price for such a big USB drive. Read and write speeds were amazing. Drive did heat up a good bit from transferring but that is to be expected moving 10GB of data within a few minutes

I brought this to take my video file with me on vacation. Take note: this drive is only as fast as the port you put it in, meaning make sure you put it in a USB 3.0 port. A lot of smaller files will take longer than one big one. So far I have dumped about 120 GB on to the drive. Last thing, the drive will get hot after long use, like watching two movies in a row. A good buy.

Best and very economical, easy to buy and just plug and play.

Works as expected, fast and reliable. Used with brand new laptop so my USB ports are fast.

If you have a lot of movies and music plus pictures this is the drive to get because of its large capacity and a convenient way to take along or transfer between devices. If you have a OTG cable with one end being micro USB which connect to Android phone and the other end being female USB which connect to this drive, you would be able to play a lot of movies and music plus pictures to your hearts contend.

The drive was purchased to replace a usb drive I've had for 10 years made by SanDisk. This Item served the purpose for which it was intended. I formatted the drive, transferred files onto the drive quckly without flaws.

This flash drive provides easy access to the data you want to save or transfer to other devices

This is a great size for me to shuttle programs, folders, files, and images from one external drive to my computer. It is easy to use, dependable and a great price for the amount of drive space! I love it!

Purchased the 256GB thumb drive in preparation for moving data from old PC to new PC. The speed of USB 3.0 coupled with the very large storage capacity of the thumb drive made copying data from old to new very easy and very fast. We've always trusted SanDisk for data storage devices, and this newest one continues our preference for the brand.

I had several external hard drives and they all costed me more than $100, they were bulk, but after 1 year, they were all dead, what a waste! Until my IT friend recommended this. The capacity is big enough for me to save even videos and lots of photos and other files, the price is much lower than the external hard drive and it will last forever!

I needed a high capacity thumb drive and this one fits the bill, I had to download software updates for the electronics in my car, after struggling with a smaller drive for three hours I grabbed this on and the upgrades went through in a bout 20 minutes works great

Many great things to say about this product. First the amazing size capacity 256GB. It's fast because it's 3.0 to transferring files is a breeze. Now, this only works if you have a 3.0 USB on the other end as well or it'll downgrade to 2.0 which isn't that bad but if you are dealing in GB size, 3.0 is the way to go. This flash drive is slim and I can put it through a lanyard for safe keep. Great item overall.

Simple, great product. Stores files with ease and easy to store. The usb flicks open as well so thats a pretty nice fidget.

The size of the unit is JUST right and rugged enough for daily use. It does tend to heat up a bit when used in a USB 3.0 port with a significant amount of file transfer (30-50 GB) at one time. Good price for 256GB unit.

Needed a larger USB to transfer some game files from my desktop to laptop it was perfect

I've had this USB Drive for the past few weeks and so far it's been great. Use it daily at work to transfer and scan documents and no issues a few weeks into my purchase. Definitely recommend.
