SanDisk 256GB Ultra Fit USB 3.1 Flash Drive - SDCZ430-256G-G46, Black

Love its file transfer speed. The only con is its too small. You can easily lose them. Wish it comes with a short lanyard.

Purchased two of these 512GB Ultra Fit USB 3.1 Flash Drive. Unpackaged both USB Drives and added them to my laptop. BOTH DRIVE SPACE ONLY = 460GB each!!!! << NOT EVEN CLOSE >> NO ADDED SOFTWARE ->> >>> 52GB SHORT per-USB Drive. -- TOTAL LOST Drive space = 104GB. You need to do better SanDisk!

I purchased the USB in February 2019 and it failed in Nov 2019, ten months hmmm. From new it required far more pressure to insert then my other USB drives and the housing became noticeably warm when in use. At that point, I should have sent it back but instead dismissed it as the consequence of its small architecture and poor manufacturing tolerances. After less than fifty applications the housing broke but more annoying the stored data became unrecoverable. I have several full size SanDisk and other maker USB drives and none have exhibited the above noted concerns or failures. Unfortunately four days ago my wife purchased the SanDisk 256 model and it also requires more insertion force than should be required, foreshadowing dear reader. Would I recommend this product? Absolutely not. Will I continue future Sandisk purchases? Probably, but not their miniature series. SanDisk, if you wish to offer me recompense, I will gladly include your response as an appendix to my review. Cheers E Update: Nov 25, 2019 The day after submitting my Amazon review I contacted the SanDisk warranty department by email requesting recompense as the USB was less than 5 years old. I provided them a copy of my Amazon purchase order and the next day I received a follow-up email from SanDisk® Global Customer Care stating SanDisk did not have a 128gb replacement in stock (in the warehouse) but would I settle for two 64gb instead to which I replied, yes. Within a day or two I received another SanDisk email this time different in tone. It referenced my Amazon.com review and included the following highlighted in blue, Note: Refurbished, physically damaged or non-authentic products are not covered by SanDisk warranty. The email also included an RMA (Return to Merchant Authorization) but no mention of the previous replacement offer. So what happened, a SanDisk employee armed with my Amazon purchase receipt trolled the Amazon.com website and located my review. Upon reading it they identified I had mentioned the USB casing had broken and presto SanDisk feels the warranty claim is disqualified, hence the blue highlighted script. To appear as a good corporate citizen they now offer me an RMA (Return to Manufacturer Authorization) so we can go through the process. Okay I will, with the clear understanding that I intend publish every SanDisk response regardless of the outcome. Other critical Amazon reviews about this product identify similar concerns, it runs hotter than a full sized USB, it is a tight fit especially in USB 3.0 ports, the housing cracks and this device prematurely ends in software/hardware failure. See a similar Amazon.com posted review provided by Gennaro M. on March 15, 2018. It is one of the many provided by dissatisfied consumers. My complaint, like those generated before me, does not originate from consumer misuse, abuse or accident but by product failure and warranty issues. Stay tuned for SanDisks response which I intend to publish when I receive it. Cheers E On 2019.11.27, I received the following email from James P.. a SanDisk® Global Customer Care rep, Thank you for writing back to us. Please be informed that the statement which was sent in the e-mail is a standard statement which we use in all automated RMA approval e-mail for letting customers know that Refurbished, physically damaged or non-authentic products are not covered by SanDisk warranty. Also we understand that you are not very satisfied with the model of flash drive which you were using earlier i.e. SanDisk® Ultra Fit USB 3.1. Therefore we would like to offer you an alternative product i.e. SanDisk® Cruzer Glide USB 3.0 128GB (SDCZ600-128G) in replacement. Please suggest if you are agreed for the alternative model. I agreed to accept their offer and on 2019.12.10 I received without cost to me a full size USB SanDisk® Cruzer Glide USB 3.0 128GB (SDCZ600-128G) delivered to my door. In the end SanDisk® or the parent company Western Digital Technologies Inc honored the warranty. I will continue to use SanDisk® as long as the honor they warranty. However I would not again purchase or recommend this specific product the SanDisk® Ultra Fit USB 3.1. cheers e.

good buy.. small handy

I synced about 20 CDs on the drive for my car and barely touched the memory capacity. its the size of a quarter.

I am obsessive about keeping track of things that are important to me, and have a tenancy to have a decent capacity flash drive on me at all times. Sometimes its on a necklace chain, sometimes on a clip with my keys, but its always affixed to something difficult to lose. This dish drive however, defied all efforts to be fixed to a clip, or necklace. You might be able to get some delicate ribbon through the loop, but nothing of substance. After keeping careful track of this for months, and constantly searching for a means to secure it, I could find nothing that would fit through the loop. Other than being supremely easy to lose by even the most obsessive persons, its a good flash drive, and I have no other complaints.

Its seems pretty good other than it wont work for the primary reason I bought it. I purchased the 512gb version for a MCU2 Tesla to store video from the dashcam and sentry systems. Unfortunately the information system will not recognize it even after trying multiple formats and other troubleshooting. I got a micro SD in an adapter to work fine, but not this USB drive. Seems to work great in my Linux and Windows based computers, just but the Linux system in the Tesla.

I used this flash drive in my Tesla Model 3 to record video when in Sentry Mode. My Model 3 formatted the flash drive and began recording.

This multi-pack provides very good value and this small size and product package makes it very easy to add to keychains and tie-wrap to other items

Forget using a USB stick in a vehicle, with the thing sticking out so far you cant change gears. This memory thumb drive is small enough that no one will even notice its presence.
