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

Very small, attractive package with rounded edges and big storage capacity. To think how much memory devices have improved! Comes with useful vault password-needed software to protect files. Two thumbs up.

Dead on arrival. Tried the flash drive on 3 different computers and not one would recognize it. Will exchange and may change rating depending on how the next drive functions. Update: Received a new flash drive in 2 days. The drive is advertised at 512 GB but you only get to utilize 460 GB. The flash drive seems to function well so far for the first few hours of backing up files.

To have this kind of storage in such a small package is a tremendous convenience. I have a 512 GB version of this andc it has petrformed perfectly and takes up virtuall no space in my car. Sandisk has always produced an exceptional product and these flash drives are definitely in that category.

So far I have two of these flash drives. Both are currently connected to my laptop via a USB 3.0 hub. One is older than the other. Both have been functioning well. I have the 256 gb version on both. Nice amount of space for not a lot of money, helping me keep my hard drive cleaner. At one point I did have the older one directly connected to the computer. Ive not noticed any difference in the transfer rate since I swapped it to the hub, which was something I worried over. Both have nice transfer speeds, more than geared to my needs. *Edit, August 2021* Since I originally wrote this review sometime in 2020, I have invested in several more of these drives. I now have somewhere around 12 to 15 or so ranging in size between 64 gb all the way up to the 512 gb version. They are used in multiple applications. Three are TV drives, attached to the three smart TVs in the house (unless Im adding to them, in which case they spend some time in one of the two USB hubs I have.) One is about to be geared towards my Wii, and the rest are computer storage for my desktop and laptop. Those computer storage ones are the ones that live in the hubs full time. I use them for everything. Ive a massive music collection, and that is now split between about 4 of the 512 gbs. My movies are on another, one is for computer file storage (which is my catch-all drive for program files, pictures, and documents.) I could keep going with the uses I have for these, but the long story short is I no longer have to worry about losing everything if my hard drive fails me. Because even if one or two of these lock up, loss will be minimal. Speed is still not an issue at all, And to date, none have locked up on me, and they see quite a bit of use.

This flash drive is great as most of Sandisks products are. I love that this is very compact so it does not stick out very far like most flash drives do. 256gb is just enough for my device. Yes, I will buy more if I need them.

I dont know how many Ive bought now. I did crack one and lost all the data that was in it, hence the minus one star. I would be raving about it if it had been durable enough to withstand taking the brunt of the fall when my laptop slid off a low chair. I keep it inserted all the time. So when my laptop fell, the flash drive cracked from the pressure of being crushed between the floor and my laptop.

This is a great flash drive to use as a Time Machine back up for your MacBook. I have a MacBook Air M2 512G laptop. This works great to back up using Time Machine. It is so small I can just keep it plugged into my laptop. And just eject it if it needs to be removed. It is very small with a little loop on top to place on a small key ring or something else to connect it to so you dont lose it. Even with my C to USB A adaptor it is a small device. See photos

Its portable and easy to use..Best suitable for Vehicles Entertainment system. Just hard to remove or insert as its too small so need to be cautious. Expected more storage capacity as now a days storage chips are so cheap.

Great product and price

The capacity and speed are fine. Whats not good is the oh so thin plastic casing of the drive. Its cracked open and almost broken away. Not good Sandisk!
