Data erased all by itself
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I put my data on it from my hard drive when I was moving jobs within my company so I could transfer my files to the new system. Two days later the USB was empty - before I was set up on the new computer. Thank goodness IT at the old place hadn't wiped my previous computer yet or I would have been screwed. I had kept it clean and safe, away from magnets, and in a ziploc so it wouldn't get dust or dirt in it.

I would recommend this to a friendCompatibility Issues with Some Devices
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is not compatible with some of my computers and other devices. So I exchanged it for another and the second had the same issue. The one I purchased several months ago worked fine. I suspect the new ones are not exactly the same as the older one. I then purchased a PNY (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-elite-turbo-attache-4-256gb-usb-3-0-type-a-flash-drive-black-gray/6236000.p?skuId=6236000) that works fine.

Great Flash Drive!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very happy with the SanDisk Ultra 256GB Drive. It is built nicely and not to big. The slide out design works great and stays locked in place. The capacity is far more than I can imagine ever needing on a flash drive. So far, I haven't found it to get overly warm during use although that is a common thing with flash drives. Speed is great! I use it for photos. I do a lot of location photography. I usually dump my photos onto my laptop until I can transfer them later on to my main desktop for permanent storage. This drives gives me not only an easy way to transfer photos, but an extra layer of protection with the inclusion of the Flashback service included free for one year with the drive. This service works as an automatic cloud backup for whatever you place on the drive. So far, it seems to work very well. Upload speed will of course be limited by internet speed. But the safety of knowing my files are safely stored away from the drive while traveling is nice.

I would recommend this to a friendFlash drive not recognized by computer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After only a couple of days of using flash drive, it was no longer recognized by the computer. Documents saved to the flash drive were lost.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendToo slow to be useful
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first effort to load data resulted in an estimate of 5 hours.. since I was planing to move a large photo library...I stopped and thought Id use it to store some movies ....maybe 40 g worth of data ...that would have taken 2 hours...I desisted from that plan too.I will just use it like I would a LESS EXPENSIVE drive with lower storage capacity since I presume that once loaded accessing the large data file would also prove painfully SLOW!

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a great deal. I ended up going on Amazon and bought a 1TB usb drive for under $30.

Average
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Average to poor as it is not a durable one. Quite a cheaply manufactured product with zero value.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendSlow
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The read writes only give me a 17% on my bench mark. Not very good slow read write speeds.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWriting speed is really slow
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't know the reason but somehow the writing speed is really slow. I've purchased two, both of them are the same.
