Broke after one month of use
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendUnauthorized Bitlocker lockup.
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendAlways backup your data from flash drives
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
