Very good and reliable, they hold data and videos and are generally just as good as the colorful plastic ones of the brand, which, because they are plastic, of course, do not get very hot, but with a lot of plugging and unplugging, the plastic at the corners where it goes into the USB port of the devices wears out. These do not have that problem.

Sturdy and durable.
I usually use it for media files on the TV.
I also have a smaller capacity one of the same type for over 6 years and it still works perfectly.
The speeds are ok, I haven't specifically checked the speeds, I just know that it transfers large files in a short time.
I personally recommend it.

I have the 32GB blue, Sandisk Ultra Flair USB A.
Beautiful for me and convenient. Small but not so small that it prevents me from using it.
Also, it's just slightly wider than the port itself so it doesn't block other devices.
As for speeds, it reaches about 130MB/s and maintains them for at least 8GB of data, that's as much as I've transferred.
I've used it to install Windows with Rufus. On a 2014 laptop and on a desktop PC with an AM4 B450 motherboard.

Of course, I don't know how durable it will be over time, but for now, no complaints. Also, because I read reviews about temperature, mine doesn't get very hot. Barely lukewarm.

I made a video about this specific one

Thank you.

I use it for formatting laptops. Its speed is satisfactory and its size is very practical.

Every Sandisk I have bought burns out. Also, I notice a lot of fluctuations in the copy speed, which I don't see in other similar USBs

It heats up as soon as you plug it into the computer and after a few minutes it gets very hot. It hasn't been damaged but I mainly use it to store photos. It's not for everyday use.

Used for academic and professional purposes for 2 years now. Fast file transfer speed, quality construction, and it also comes with pre-installed encryption software for important data. Ideal for people who travel often and need large capacity at a fair price. The main drawback is that it heats up easily even during small file transfers.

It gets excessively hot. 20 minutes connected to the router's USB and it was almost untouchable. I believe that if I leave it connected for a long time, it will burn out.

It hasn't disappointed me so far, it's small and convenient, and at the same time fast. The only downside might be that it heats up.

I use it on a keyboard to load sounds and read mp3s for the instrument. While it reads the mp3, if I play the keys at the same time and the vibration transfers to the USB stick, it stops reading with very destructive results during my live work. With other USBs over the years, I have not encountered the same issue. And it started giving me problems relatively early after I bought it!

I bought it just for Windows. I haven't tried it on anything else, but it's definitely worth the money.

I bought at different dates, one at 32GB and one at 64GB. One happened to break quickly and they replaced it at the store immediately after testing. I gifted the smaller one and the other will soon have the same fate. The reason is that I bought several USB sticks from different brands/models until I found one with better performance, especially in writing, for the same price. Even if it was just a small difference. I should add that I couldn't get my work done with products that don't have a cap. Now I buy with a plastic cover. Typical build quality from a top company in the world.

Generally, I have never had a problem with Sandisk until I tried this USB Stick. I bought it to install Windows 11 on a new system.

First of all, I see that it has generally positive reviews, so I probably just received a defective product.

Now let's get to the problems:

The drive was supposed to be 64GB (that's what the packaging said when I opened it), but after the first connection to my PC, it seemed that the storage is actually 32GB.

Secondly, and more importantly, the stick for some silly reason has Write Protection, which makes it useless since you can't transfer any files in or out of it. I spent 2 hours trying various actions (cmd commands, registry files, properties) to remove it but to no avail.

Finally, there is no official Sandisk software that can even recognize the USB Stick.

In short, I threw 8 euros in the trash.

Although it heats up (normal since aluminum acts as a heatsink), it is fast and convenient. The fastest option at a similar cost for flash drives.

Although at first I was a bit disappointed because it overheats when you put it in the computer, I am going through the process of making a review because I accidentally washed it in the washing machine and not only does it work, but it also has all the files inside without being altered! Kudos to the company for the quality of construction!

I won't bore you with technology, it simply does its job well, it has a size that you can find in your bag, not like some other tiny things that get lost and you never find them again, and from what it seems, it doesn't break or wear out easily.

To pano kontogiannis. Format it to ntfs model. The original is fat32. That's why it doesn't let you transfer large files. Choose ntfs, format it, and then you'll be all set. I've bought the USB twice in different capacities and it's just fine! I come back after some time and use of the USB and I can say that it has lost its performance significantly!!! Small movies of about 1-2GB take a long time to transfer to a USB 3 port. What format have I done and I didn't see any difference. That's it

It does its job perfectly, it hasn't made me think about whether it's fast or slow, I don't feel it heating up, but I haven't put it down to time it. It simply does its job. It's small in size which means it doesn't block the side ports.

Very good price, but suffers from writing speed.
With the empty stick, I transferred 32GB (in 25 files of approximately equal size). The speed started just above 20MB/s and almost immediately dropped (and remained) around 17MB/sec, and the transfer took half an hour. Not recommended for those who frequently transfer large amounts of data. But for a cheap stick intended for occasional use, it is excellent.

It does not heat up as much as some others. It mainly heats up at the entrance, but because its body is made of aluminum, it cools down quickly.

The speeds are decent - good.

For their price, they are okay, but they do not reach the advertised speeds compared to other USB sticks.

I made the purchase in order to play 4k movies on my television. I can't transfer the movie to the flash drive. It tells me that the file is too large (even though the flash drive is empty.) And we're talking about files of 4-6.5 GB

I use it exclusively for movies on TV, I don't push it. It gets very hot, I have never experienced a stick getting so hot before (same goes for the computer), even with the same brand. It also has connection interruptions on the TV while watching a movie, and when you connect it to charge, you have to keep adjusting it until it connects, fortunately not regularly. Its speed is average, 15 to 20 on movies, but it constantly fluctuates to annoyingly low levels and stops for a little while sometimes. It's a shame.

I did not check the speeds as I am not interested in them for everyday use.
The plastic part is neither bad nor anything special.
We will see how it will hold up hanging on keychains in everyday use.
For its price, you don't ask for anything more.
Of course, in EVERY USB stick, your sensitive data should be backed up.
None lasts forever

Member of the Western Digital family!!!! one of the best USBs that someone can buy for this price

Very fast in both read and write since it is a genuine USB 3.0. It does get quite hot, but that's actually good because it means the heat doesn't stay inside the USB stick, damaging it and reducing its lifespan.

Unfortunately, mine stopped working within a year. All three computers (Windows 10) would freeze completely whenever I tried to open a large file, and I could barely write even small files. I tried everything. Formatting, wiping with specialized software, reformatting the partition, nothing worked. However, I believe I was just unlucky because I have bought a bunch of Sandisk sticks and they are all perfect. And while it was working, I had no complaints.

P.S.: BEWARE of cheap OTG adapters for mobile phones, that's how I burned another stick

It is very good but it raises temperature too easily. It burns so much that it is difficult to touch it and to be honest, I am afraid something might happen to my computer's motherboard due to the heat. Otherwise, it is very good and I believe it is worth its money.

After 1.5 years, the disconnections started and it requires a fix to connect.
Recently, I also lost a file.
I use it on Linux, only 1-2 times a month.

Honest for its price and very small in size, therefore very convenient to have it permanently on a keychain.

It does its job just fine, it's just exposed in front and also it is VERY small and I'm constantly looking for it.
