Does not copy files over 4 gig - JUNK

The file type used on this drive will not allow you to copy files larger than 4 gig. What genius thought that would be a good idea in a 500 gig drive? I had to contact support multiple times before they told be the drive needed to be reformatted to be used.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Brand response from SanDisk Team

Thanks for your feedback. Our drives come preformatted in exFAT, which supports large file transfers. If you encountered a 4GB limit, the drive may have been reformatted in FAT32 at some point. Please contact our support team at: https://support-en.sandisk.com/app/askweb, and we'll help check the format and get this resolved.

So far, the product works great! I love the ease of use and the fact that I can use it for USB-C or USB-A inputs. Make the limitation of certain devices feel nonexistent.

What's to say except that this SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go 512GB does what you expect - expeditiously. The basic review follows BUT NOTE THE LATTER PART OF THE NAME OF THIS DRIVE :: USB-A/USB-C Flash Drive.
You can plug into a C port, drive slot, whatever you call it, and read or write data AND THEN flip it around and plug it into an A slot to write or read the same data. PERFECT to be a GO drive.
I have formatted it ExFat to move files from Windows into Mac OS Journaled and vice versa.
I am about to move all the data off one Mac Studio onto an upgrade Mac so it is now formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to receive data from APFS.
I moved 66GB from Mac MAX 2 Studio in 10, 11 minutes which was ok.
I say that because I moved about 33 GB of pics from Mac APFS to ExFat and it took all night - also on a different, slower drive.
It also makes sense that this GO drive is 512GB because it is for transition purposes. S maller may be cheaper but more trips.
I have used San Disk before they were associated with WD
(I am a WD fan) and I can sincerely say that I continue to be pleased with SanDisk. An old time name that goes waaayy way back tried this 'GO' concept before but they failed terribly. VERY WELL DONE SANDISK.

This flash drive is tiny, but it's fast and very user friendly with two types of USB connectors. While it doesn't take up much room, that is also the one downside. You need to make sure you attach a keyring or something to it or the risk of losing it or overlooking it is fairly high.

It's a USB memory stick, so there isn't a lot to it, but the ability to plug into either USB type is great, and it IS really fast! The included data security software is OK. Not great, but you shouldn't be using that level of software if you really need to encrypt data for security.
Overall, it's great for my needs and I'll probably buy a couple more in the next month.

I was able to download all my images with pretty quick speed. It did heat up and slow down after a while, not being able to download or show images for a bit. But after taking it out and waiting a few seconds before putting it back in again helped fixed those issues.

Exactly as advertised, easy to use external storage that is small and portable. You just plug it in and move your things. It's easy to use and incredibly convenient. This is for C type charging ports, make sure that's what you want.

I needed to backup the data from a MacBook that would only run for a few minutes after booting up then shut down due to overheating. I repeatedly booted it up, transferred as much data as I could in those few minutes, and repeated the process until I got all the data backed up to this device. Fortunately, the quick data transfer made it possible to salvage data we thought might be lost forever.

So easy to use!! I have thousands of photos on my phone and laptop, wanted one place to hold them all!! I don't need to have photos from 2013 on my phone so this was absolutely perfect!! Without it I was going to have to pay for more cloud storage! Now I don't have to waste money!

SanDisk - Ultra Dual Drive Go 512GB USB Type-A/USB Type-C Flash Drive - Black. Good speed, very convenient in physical size and dual (USB and Type-C) connectivity. It would be solid if it’s made out of metal - just like the silver version.
