I paid a bit more to get a quality flash drive because I wanted it to be a permanent plugged-in storage device for my laptop. There were cheaper options, but I guessed that I could rely on SanDisk. That has paid off because it's first class and does the job perfectly. It's also very small and discreet, so it sits neatly on the side of my laptop without getting in the way. How on earth can they store so much stuff on a thing that's so tiny? Anyway I'm very happy with the product and would recommend it. Having tried cheap USB drives in the past and found them faulty or unreliable, I do recommend using a quality product. What's the point of storing things on a drive that's going to lose them?

It does get very very hot. And since its made of plastic, I wonder how long it will last or maybe burn the house down. Sadly, most USB sticks these days get very hot. Problem with this however is, that it is advertised being very fast while reading. But nothing is mentioned about write speed. Write speed is less then 10MB per second. That is very slow. But it is small and good value. So good for when you have time, not good when you need to upload alot and fast.

This USB drive has proven to be reliable so far but it gets worryingly hot quite quickly which casts some doubt on its long-term reliability. I find it's best to plug it in to a USB3 port just before using it and then remove it as soon as possible before it gets too hot to touch. It gets remarkably hot if left in place for any length of time.

So far so good. It works well and is beautifully compact. Not as robust a casing as previous versions of the sam manufacture, and no cover for the plug which is a pity. But it does the job very well.

Bought this for my wife's car as a music store hoping to merely copy all the mp3 files I already have on it. Slightly dismayed to find that the new car rejected it as not being readable. Doing some research reveals that drives this big are by default, formatted to "exFAT" and the car was looking for FAT32. As Windows has no native means of reverting this to FAT32 without a lot of fiddling around, I opted to use another smaller (32gb) drive which worked obviously with less music on it. However, that's not the Sandisk drive's fault but it's worth noting in case that's what you were planning to use it for. p.s I found no use for the security software pre-installed so got rid of it.
