What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Great transfer speed,perfect size to add to a keychain. This is my third 1tb dual thumb drive.
Strongly built with a premium metal casing and a huge 512gb storage capacity. All-metal (have a nice heft), and sturdy. Very clean and sturdy build quality.
The quality of this product is exceptional. You can trust sandisk to deliver a top performance product. Sandisk is a well known brand.
Works with iphone and android smartphone, also with pc, mac and chromebook. Only problem is that it is difficult to insert the usb-c side into samsung s10, s21 and s23fe phones. Very easy to use with both usb a & c ports.
Cons
Sandisk should be asheamed for selling junk like this. Looks a bit like a scam to me. To get a replacement under warranty requires that you ship it back at your own expense with a proof of delivery.
The write speed is unimpressive, maxing-out at about 7 mib/s, which is far below usb 2. Write speed starts to throttle down within seconds of writing data and will go all the way down to single digit then zero. Read speed is about 115mbs.
Highlights
Quality

Metal body makes it durable to be in key chain among keys for convenience and portability.

Price
The price seems right, and overall i'm happy with it.
Competitiveness
Hinge is actually way better than the similar lexar form factor, it's quite sturdy and the material is pretty good, as a flash ... Read More

The downsides to this is the drive has no room for built in cache making it slower than a conventional ssd or larger drive but this is only noticable when trying to move 10gb at once

I made use of the flip enclosure which is also metal as a heat sink by turning it 90 degrees off axis so air could flow over it
