SanDisk Cruzer Ultra 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive SDCZ48-016G-U46 up to 100MB/s (Pack of 5)

Good value

Im a professional photographer and much of my work is delivered via USB-3 Thumb Drives. SanDisk is the most trusted brand in solid-state media and my go-to brand for USB drives. I have been using SanDisk Cruzer Ultra drives in 16, 32, and 64 gb sizes without a single failure for many years. You should know that a 16 GB Thumb drive does NOT provide 16 GB of data storage, I will never understand that is, but you are limited. Each drive has to reserve space for firmware and that drops your drive capacity, so purchase a drive that has a capacity far above what you actually need. Limited file size has nothing to do with the USB rated size, but is due to the formatting These Drives come Formatted to FAT32 that means a single file cannot be larger than 4GB as formatted. BUT YOU can re-format the drive with Windows. When you place the thumb drive in your usb-3 port on your computer, you can right-click the drive and select FORMAT, then instead of FAT32, Choose NTFS and you can then add large files to the drive. I do a lot of cinematic/video presentations and have had to re-format the drives for those larger movie files. I like these drives and the USB connection is retractable, BUT, it is still exposed to dust and debris that may be in your pocket, I highly recommend that you also purchase some sort of case to put your drive in when its not in use. I personally use the CaseLogic zippered cases for storage, mailing and transporting my valuable data-loaded SanDisk Flash Drives. I would definitely recommend them! They are the best combination of price, quality, and performance.

They seem to be doing what they were advertised to do however I am not using them for any extensive data savings just a little bit of files here and there only complaint I have is theyre kind of boring wish they would have came in some sort of stylish silver but Im being a little picky at that point

Large size - Fast upload, best price for usb of this size. - pack of 5 perfect. Believe me, I searched long and wide needing many to upload genealogy files/photos/videos for each of my family. These worked great.. and again - super fast transferring. I keep ordering this product set.

Needed to buy some for upcoming recordings. Didnt want to spend a ton of $$$ and I need a good brand that would last. These work GREAT!

Work as expected. The 3.0 works faster than the older flash drives.

I like these, works very well at a great price. Used them as OS installers for Windows & Mac

good quality , used them for years

All 4 flash drives did load and download information correctly. However the SanDiskSecureAccess software supplied with the flash drives is defective. Software first wants to update its software. I did upgrade two flash drives and both ended with an Application called PrivateAccess_win which when clicked states it cant find the right path for a file it claims to have put on C drive. I really do not want security software writing to any C drive without permission. I did not upgrade the software on 2 flash drives and ended up with the normal SanDiskSecureAccessV3.01_win application which allowed me to enter a password, it gives the normal login and vault display but will not accept any files. Gives error “This vault could not be loaded, it may be located on another computer of the original vault file has been manually removed” I use ScanDisk vaults on perhaps 9 other ScanDisk flash drives with no problem. Not worth returning these will just trash them.

Used for deliverables to clients, great value, speed is good enough
