    Died after 3 months. Would not purchase again. The computer doesn't even recognize it as a USB device. It is totally dead. What a waste of money.

    The item is faulty. The flash drive states 256GB but what you might get is 8GB. I tried copying 19GB of a movie to this flash drive and the operation always failed. Please verify the drive actually has 256GB capacity after you purchase it.

    Windows 11 locked up this drive with Bitlocker without asking me. I can't get my files out of it now. I attempted to use the drive during an SSD upgrade. Microsoft's recommended fixes did not work either.

    Broke after one month of use

    This worked great at first and then one day it just stopped. It's not showing up on my Mac or my PC. I've tried multiple recovery programs and it's no longer detectable. I would expect something like this to happen with a much smaller USB but with a 256 GB 3.1 that cost $$$ this shouldn't happen. According to Best Buy it's no longer returnable.

    I've had this flash drive for less than 2 months and I've already lost all of my data that I had stored on it. My only option now is to reformat and hope for the best. I have cheap flash drives that I've used for years with no problems yet my new SanDisk can't make it 2 months without failing. I always thought SanDisk was better than this. Unfortunately, I was wrong.

    The cardboard packaging said 256 GB but the drive ran out of space after copying 32 GB of music. Reformatted - no difference. It was only $20 but what a waste of time!
