I bought this to keep a work files backup as I move from office to/from home. Occasionally I also use it for general data backups of a temporary nature. Larger file transfers to the new drive are not as fast as I expected. But adequate for my current needs.

Painfully Slow Write Speeds; Died in One Day

I have been an avid SanDisk drive fan, whether it be SSD, compact flash, SD, or their older USB drives. However, over the past few years, I have found their USB drives lacking, and getting worse. Previously, I purchased some USB 2.0 Cruzer Glide drives, and found them painfully slow when writing compared to others I had from other companies. This week, I wanted to give them another try by buying the newer USB 3.0 Ultra (SBCZ48-032G and -128G); the price was very attractive when on sale.
Bottom line, I am returning the Ultra drives. They are still too painfully slow to use. I bought USB 3.0 drives and expect to get somewhere near that speed; I do not expect USB 2.0 flash drive speeds with a USB 3.0 device.
Comparing these drives to a PNY 128GB USB 3.0 drive I purchased a few years ago, I did some testing/benchmarking. My tests were simple:
1) Use CrystalDiskMark 7.0.0f to benchmark the drives; this is a commonly used tool.
2) Copy 15 files, 8.62 GB total from a Corsair MP600 NVMe drive to selected USB Drives (all using USB 3.0 ports), and as a checkpoint, to my local NAS (this latter to ensure the MP600 NVMe drive was not the bottleneck).
Summary (see attached picture as well):
- The PNY drive performed well and within what I expected regarding speed. It copied the files quickly, roughly 88 MB/s consistently, taking approximately 1 minute, 41 seconds.
- The Ultra-128 ran the benchmarks OK, but when it came to real world usage, it fell on its face after what appears to be that its internal cache was filled; it went from roughly 78 MB/s down to about 12 MB/s after a few seconds of copying. It took approximately 3 minutes, 50 seconds to copy the same data to the Ultra-128, more than twice the time required by the PNY.
- The Ultra-32 ran the benchmarks fairly, but its internal cache appears to be smaller, and the 1GB benchmarks picked up on it. Unfortunately, the drive died (become "read only") and I could no longer test it. (And for those tech savvy folks out there, yes I did try DiskPart and other tools to fix it.) From untimed tests, the 32G drive performed slightly worse than the 128GB drive.
These benchmarks/tests were performed with a home assembled machine:
- Windows 10 Pro
- Asus TUF Gaming X570 (WiFi) motherboard
- AMD 3800X CPU
- Corsair MP600 NVMe 1TB Drive
- Corsair Vengeance memory, running at 3200MHz.
SanDisk, time to pick up your game, or someone else will come along and beat you at it. If your SD cards are now able to handle up to 170MB/s write speeds, why can your USB flash drives not handle even half of that? (Yes, I know, comparing apples and oranges.)

Copying a file starts out at 30-40MB/s (not 100MB/s) and then drops to 12MB/s after a few seconds. Also it gets hot. You'll be better off with a USB 2.0 drive.

I like the size and the fact it has the sliding usb a on it also i would like to add that this actually out preformed itself. So the soecs say 130 megebytes per second for read speed but when using i noticed it almost sat at 130 for minimum it did go under here and there to around 110ish but it was going as high as 180-185 and staying there for multiple seconds and then coming back down to 130. This is absolutely worth the price especially if you get it on a deal/sale! Such a quality item!

Finally my private files are safe

Finally, I can keep my private files safe and not have my mom find out about them, you know? My name's Eugene, and I have my own personal computer, but still my mom goes on it to pay her taxes, and I am worried that she will stumble across something she's not supposed to. So I bought the SanDisk - Ultra 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive, and let me say, this thing is a dream come true. I can plug this baby into my PlayStation 3 and watch all my favorite private movies directly on my big screen Samsung TV. There's even protective software that comes pre-loaded onto the drive so you can protect yourself from having strangers snoop your stash. The 32GB Capacity is great, and the front end slides back and forth to protect the device. Even my best friend Leet Larry loves it, because I can bring over my favorite private movies, and we can watch them together on his Xbox. The only thing I recommend is formatting it to NTFS, because FAT32 is for chumps, and usually won't let you put a high definition movie on it because it won't copy files of a gig. Most of the private part files I download are in 1080p and are roughly 1-2gb in size. I would highly recommend this product, as it's compact, has a robust amount of storage space, and is USB 3.0 compatible, making the transfer time super fast.
