Pros & Cons
Pros
Product of malaysia, sandisk is a reputable company that produces high quality drives. Design is nice, overall, and i like that it doesn't block adjacent ports.
Made of aluminum and inside of a plastic slider that lets you retract it when not in use. Easy to unpack, and no scissors are needed.
Gb sandisk flash drive has a respectable 60. Mb/second reads and 100mb/second write speeds.
Other than that, no complaints with this one. With 3. Stars, it is worth over the 4. Now about the downsides. True 3.
I need this to load windows on a new pc after mine took a dump. Writing files to this drive is quick enough that it only took me a couple minutes to backup ~15gb of files from my old computer that had failing hdd's. This has lots of storage capacity.
Highlights
Quality
I have always liked the quality of sandisk flash drives.
Reading about it, it seems like a great product.
I'm not a huge fan of the form factor, since the handle part doesn't lie flat with the drive, and it's a little awkward to get ... Read More
With the advent of cloud storage, the use of the formerly ubiquitous 'thumb' drives or flash drives is on the decline.
Shipping
This may not be the most fast drive, but it delivers consistent results without fear of corruption.
If you are looking to get a usb that is super fast because you have huge file size transfers then maybe look at something else.
Packaging/appearance
Not pokey by any means, but nothing that stands above the rest of the pack, either.
The packaging of this drive says read speeds up to 356 mb/s and write speeds up to 100 mb/s.
Competitiveness
The sandisk drive does feel like a step up in build quality-wise compared to the vansuny drives.
My synology router requires a flash drive to offer certain security features, and when initially using an unknown chinese brand usb 3.
Every time i buy another competitors flash drive i am disappointed.
Exfat will not work with soundcraft virtual mixers and probably with most pro audio hardware.

After experiencing some flash drive issues with the cheap drives i usually use and after doing some research i discovered that not all usb 3 flash drives are alike

Most of that performance is related to read and write speeds
