Pros

Sandisk ultra dual drives are the most reliable usb thumb drives i've ever owned. It has a metal casing, with allows heat to transfer away from the circuitry inside faster than with plastic casing. The reversible usb c / usb connectors are clutch for ...  Read More

The one characteristic i decided i could ease up on is speed. They are pretty fast, not the fastest, but way faster than cheap usb 2. This is one is definitely worth the money, but then sandisk's usually are. It's up to you.



Cons

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But as many folks know heat is not the friend of electronics and i likely will be leery of relying on this drive too much for critical data until i see how it holds up over time
