    Excellent Value and Durable

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have several of these. They are great for moving documents, and they seem durable. The one drawback that I’ve found is that they can run slow when handling larger items, such as video and audio files or a folder full of high resolution photos, for example. They are an excellent value for the money.

    So too preface I usually love SanDisk. Their build quality has never let me down over the years, and almost always blow the competition away with performance. That being said this specific drive has a design issue. or lack there of. With most new products on the market iv'e found the USB ports are crammed in very close together. The width of this drive is unacceptable in relation. In testing I have at least 3 devices i am unable to use with this as it's width pushes against the other ports. So if was still 2005 with devices flaunting USB on the front or a vehicle then great. However it's 2018 and some changes need to be made. Lastly (I'm just being nit-picky.) I don't understand why I need the cloud software included. The reason for a flash drive to begin with is to stay away from the cloud. If you use cloud storage then you don't need a flash drive.

    Fast Cloud connected USB Drive

    What sets this drive apart from other USB 3.0 flash drives is the ability to sign up for a service (Free for the first year, $9.99 per year thereafter for the 256 Gb drive, less for smaller drives) that backs up whatever you place onto the flash drive to Sandisk's storage cloud. Other than that, it is your standard 256 gb usb 3.0 speed flash drive. I didn't have any issues in transfer speeds or playing videos directly from the flash drive on devices like TVs. I suppose if you were not adhered to storage solutions like Google Drive, Microsoft Onedrive or others, this would be a way to easily backup things to the cloud, maybe even set it up for the more technologically challenged, and they can use it from there and ask for your help if they cannot remember how to get the online files if they lose their flash drive. I found the Flashback online backup was easy to use. A program is installed and launched. You put the flashback compatible flash drive into the usb 2.0 or 3.0 A slot on your device. You click a button on program to link your flash drive to the program. Then you simply send or copy or cut files to the flash drive and the online backup happens automatically. Once things are backed up to the cloud, it does offer sorting and search features that are pretty useful to narrow down your quest to find a particular item. By type, date, etc.

    SanDisk - Ultra 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive - Black

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This new 256 GB USB, along with my older Sandisk and Lexar 128 GB USBs, don't "play well" with my new logitech M325S mouse. When any of those drives are in, can't use the new mouse on its pad. Similarly, I can't download files from live on-line presentations with the mouse to any of the above drives [have to download to the C drive and then transfer later to the USB after the presentation ends]. Never had such a problem with my old HP Pavilion [R-I-P]. Probably a driver problem--one or all of these manufacturers need to address this aggravating issue.
