SanDisk 32GB (Five Pack) USB 3.0 Flash Ultra Memory Drive CZ48 - Bundle with (2) Everything But Stromboli Lanyard

Capacity is 30.76 GB! Use for smart Tvs movies!

These are very fast for this price range. They seem well built too. Nice positive click when extended. Copying large batches of 25+ MB RAW camera files, I get 130+ MBPS read, and 35+ MPBS write speeds. I think this is a fantastic bargain.

I am having bad luck with this set of Flash drives. I purchased a set of 5 SanDisk 16GB Ultra USB 3.0 flash drives and so far 2 have failed me. I have a 2010 Macbook Pro (USB 2.0) that I connected the drives and copied files to. On 2 separate occasions I copied files to these drives and then ejected them. When I tried to connect them back to my laptop to verify the files, they failed to mount to my computer. I now have 2 pieces that will not mount to my macbook pro or my iMac. I havent tried them on any other computers. 2 out of 5 drives from this set have failed, 2 I gave to clients with recorded audio files (they worked when I handed them over to client) and the last one I still have and it is currently working. Its a mystery so I will avoid these next time.

Ive used all sorts of USBs and some were more compliant than others. If all you are going to do is transfer files then any old key will pretty well do. I, however, need a key that I can install on operating system on and this one fits the bill. Ive put bootable versions of Centos, Ubuntu and FreeDOS on these keys and they just keep chugging along. I used the installs to perform maintenance on servers and there is plenty of room on the key for the OS and the updates and firmwares needed to get my machines complaint. I highly recommend these keys.

Long lasting

The price is good for 5 retractable thumb drives. I like that the storage capacity isnt too small or too large. Im always worried that if it is too large, theres too much risk putting so much data on one drive. If its too small, its inconvenient. This storage capacity is a nice compromise.

I learned the hard way that most thumb drives, regardless of capacity, are formatted in a way that does not allow any single file over 4gb to be loaded. This is a problem for consumers. At the very least, manufacturers should be upfront about this so non-tech-savvy consumers (like me) dont return thumb drives as faulty (as I did) when they just need to be reformatted.

Order arrived on schedule and as advertised. These drives have shown no defects, and I’ve never had problems with Sandisk storage products.

The built in encryption is a bonus.

Although I have only used 3 out of the 5 Flash Drives, these appear to be functioning perfectly. I will most certainly purchase these again if required.
