Hard to believe something so small can hold so much. I love having backups of everything on a flash drive and these make it so easy to keep everything safe and takes up so little space.

I purchased two of these and they are advertised as being 256GB. I used h2testw which is a utility that writes blocks of data to an empty USB flash drive and then verifies how many blocks of data are really on the drive. I relocated the software from both flash drives and tested them empty. The first drive tested at 236870 Mb, the second drive tested at 237861 Mb. So that is 236.8 GB and 237.8 GB. Both over 15 GB short of the advertised size. These drives are formatted and locked to FAT32 so people who don't know any better can't reformat them to NTFS which supports "journaling" and would shorten the life of the drive but I can't see the encryption to accomplish that consuming 15 GB of space. Still a decent sized flash drive for storing movies no larger than the FAT32 limitation of 4 GB. And for permanent storage of pictures and files.

These flash drives have gotten so cheap especially when they are on sale that I use them for back-ups, file storage etc. Never had an issue with Scandisk's quality nor with another brand. So I hope the trend continues.

I was looking around the sites of many stores searching for a flash drive that had lots of storage. I found this San Disk on the Best Buy site. I purchased the 256 GB flash drive at a great low price. Works great and meets my needs. Very satisfied.

Transferred 32gb card to this one. Was very fast. I had previously tried another card that was supposed to be fast but took forever. Returned it for this one and a good choice. Tons of room for pictures now. Won't have to worry about any pictures or video, taking up too much space, on a long trip.

Hard to believe that they can pack in 256GB into a tiny package like this. Sometimes I need to transfer hundreds of gigabytes of data between to unconnected computers and this does it easily and with good speed.

I have a laptop that only has 128GB SSD of internal space and needed more for my stuff. I was considering an external drive but the 256GB usb drive is a lot more convenient for me and that's all the storage space that I really need for now. It works fast and does everything that's advertised!

Used it for storing photos on a daily basis, for about 3 weeks without a problem. Seems a bit light on the quality feel, but works great - sets up by itself immediately & is ready to store files. No problems.

At $50 for a 256GB flash drive was a great price in 2017, even better now at $31. For two years, this drive has performed flawlessly and it's large capacity allows for large data items like photos and video.
The drive is reliable and 3.0 is fast.

Quality product at excellent sale price. Fast. Actually more storage than I needed but for the price, why not. Sandisk has always been reliable for me in the past so i went with it again.

Will be used to provide permanent backup of documents and apps. Size is great and USB link is friendly. Having 250GB with USB 3.0 on a flash drive is convenient and will hold all the files for my new desktop.

Bought this on sale. 256gb is a nice size and price didnt break the bank. I don't use any of SanDisk's delivered software so I can't comment on that. This is a nice size that fits in your pocket or goes on your keychain.
