This Flash Drive can be problematic. I've purchased several of the same size. After a few uses, pushing the Drive into a computer or Adapter, the metal end-piece will slip inside the unit; doesn't catch. You then must hold on to the thumb movable part to keep the metal end extended to go into the computer or adapter. There's a little catch that doesn't catch. I've also had two of these that become "unreadable" after just a few months of use. I've taken back to the store and they cannot get them to work in their computers either. Not a dependable product.

I loaded several important files to the drive. Unfortunately the drive has some how become write protected. I did research trying to get it unwrite protected, but nothing works. I can't even reformat it to remove the data that's on it. Can't even return it because it has sensitive files on it.
So stuck with a worthless USB Flash Drive.

I was told that this device could hold about 6 movies. I could only put about 3 hours on it. 128 gb’s! Not happy about it.

The drive has been reliable, not liking the slide out feature a lot, but it doesn't effect the quality.

Screen Flashes Black

Screen flashes black (complete balckout lasting a second or two) every time I use this drive. Tried reformatting both on Linux and Windows, screen continues to periodically flash black. I tried searching the internet to troubleshoot - most of my results are from people booting from USB whose screens black out permanently. Consulted with a software engineer who was concerned it was running some kind of malware in the background. Does this to every computer I plug it into, as long as I am using a file on it. I bought it a few months ago so will not be able to return it; it will probably end up going into the trash. Waste of money!

Hi, what you are observing is the difference in the definition of one Gigabyte by Operating Systems versus all Storage device manufacturers. Operating systems use a binary system which will present a lower number of GBs than the decimal based system used by Storage Device manufacturers to define the capacity of products. This is due to the binary system representing a GBs as a higher number of actual bytes. For example: Operating systems define a 1GB as 1,073,741,824 Bytes. Storage device manufacturers define 1GB as 1,000,000,000 bytes. Also, you may research on the internet by reading tech blogs/ articles to know more about the same. For any other suggestions/ queries regarding SanDisk® products, please feel free to contact SanDisk Support and we would be happy to help!

I carry this in my pocket and use it about 2 - 3 times a week.
I don't know how much I had on it but now windows will not recognize it. I tried 3 different computers and different USB ports on each, so I know it is not a computer issue, the flash drive is dead. I can't even erase it except by smashing it.
Just bought another at Costco for 1/2 the price.
