I am using it in a DIY camera project, writing video to the flash drive at 30Mbps. I have tested it to the full capacity of the drive and it works well. It's only USB 2.0, so that will put an upper limit on its speed, but it feels pretty quick to copy a few gigabytes of video. I didn't buy this for speed. Unless you have a specific reason why you need a faster drive (e.g. copying many gigabytes under time pressure, or running software directly off of it), this drive is probably fast enough for most purposes. The small size opens up possibilities to use it in places where a normal-sized flash drive would stick out and get in the way or get knocked and damaged. For example, you could leave this plugged into an MP3-capable stereo system and in a lot of cases it would end up being flush with the surface of the stereo, or else nearly flush. I didn't need a small flash drive for my purposes, but I had a hunch that small size might mean low power consumption, and I did need a drive that would draw a low peak electric current, due to the particular power supply arrangements in my camera project. And yes, this drive does have a relatively low peak power consumption. This low peak current characteristic could also be useful if you want to plug the drive into an unpowered hub or the end of a long USB extension cable, as some other drives might struggle with that, but it is not a panacea.Read full review

...but I suppose I should have thought of that when I bought it!

Ideal for use where space is a premium. I bought mine to use in a car USB port to play mp3 files. It has a discrete light to show functionality. It's fast reading/writing and has been 100% reliable. The memory stick comes with preloaded secure software which I haven't used, so cannot comment.

I tried a couple of non-branded flash drives of this size (the red ones on Ebay) from other suppliers and had to return both due to a failure to format or show up on my PC. So this SanDisk drive from a different supplier was a big improvement and worked perfectly straight out of the packet. It has a small lanyard eye for portability and security and is perfect for short or long-term data backup. Its compatibility with USB 2.0 and 3.0 is another big plus point. 5 stars!

Works fantastic as a storage device in a Vauxhall Mokka 2018 model and plugs directly into the head unit via a hidden compartment in dashboard and as the USB stick is micro sized i have no problem with leaving it plugged in all the time. The cars media head unit have has no problem reading the whole 64Gigs of music and videos i have copied onto it and to date i have had no latance issues, nor have i had any freezing or locking up when using the usb stick. perfect for my use in the car and is small and discret and not problem with it getting knocked or hit by little fingers. Would reccomend for this application as a car music media device.
