Pros & Cons
Pros
First limit is the usb a connector. But a good amount all the same. I remember when 56kb was a fast throughput and 512mb was an acceptable usb storage size.
The compact size is awesome. It barely sticks out of the laptop and actually keeps up with gaming. It makes the addition very seamless, and doesn't obstruct the view or controls.
Cons
Mine never got used to the point of getting broken and cracked. All the folders are still there but it dumped every mp3 file contained in every single folder. Will not show up at all on my laptop nor on my desktop computers.
Package says 512g. Pc reads 460g. Short by about 18gb.
Speed is nowhere close to what they are boasting. Speeds plummet and only temporarily recover after formatting. Once they've got data on them again, they're slow as syrup.
Highlights
Quality
Works great, high amount of storage, and has pretty fast speeds when connected to a pc.
The drive operates smoothly with reliable performance, and its sleek black finish adds a touch of style.
Transfer speeds are not even close to what it's labeled, but they never are.
Ez to lose but hey this is the tiniest 256 gig you can get.

The flash drive is small enough to simply leave it installed all the time and the incremental backups are done automatically

I am not sure if it is just a windows thing but this drive is noticeably slower for writes than my other sandisk drives

The ratings say it should be fairly fast bit im lucky to get 10mbs writes
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I have enabled cache and disabled the windows quick removal option to speed up the writes which helped but it is still a slow performer
