SanDisk Cruzer Glide 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive -SDCZ600-256G-G35

This product was used for storing backup of computer for disaster recovery. Backing up about 200GB of data. It was fast and easily taken from one place to another and small enough to fit in pocket.

Its a flash drive I’ve only had it for a few days it does what you need to do.

I like this flash drive. 256 GB is a good amount of storage to back up files on your computer. No issues with previous SanDisk storage I have purchased.

This is nothing like the old Cruzer slide-out flash drives. Its much flimsier feeling in every way. Its also very slow to write to, which is aggravating if you are trying to fill up the full capacity. However, its pretty cheap for the size. If you just plan on occasionally adding files to it, or filling it up only once, then it seems acceptable. If you are planning on moving stuff around with it often, Id recommend something else. USB SSDs are getting a lot cheaper (maybe 2x the price of this), and are probably an order of magnitude faster, albeit usually a bit bulkier.

I first tried a SamDisk thinking that was this drive. It failed after a couple of months. This drive works great (I use as automatic backup drive) and its very sturdy, doesnt flop in the slot. Highly recommend.

Good products

I have a lonovo think pad that had only a small hard drive, bur has a port for a micro sd card. I have a 256 GB micro card in the slot--so I can back up the whole thing to the 256 GB USB flash drive. It takes a while, but about once a month backups give me peace of mind. I use smaller flash drives more often to back up work accomplished between the full backups.

Its reliable and easy to use

It didnt have a light to show activity as my previous Sandisk Cruzer flash drives had. It works great though.

I had to reformat this drive because it filled up to fast. Had to format with NTFX instead. I guess the thousands of files was too much for it and I couldnt copy more files even though it showed that it was less than half full. Besides that I loved it.
