SanDisk Ultra Flair USB (5 Pack) 3.0 64GB Flash Drive High Performance Thumb Drive/Jump Drive up to 150MB/s - with (2) Everything But Stromboli (tm) Lanyard

Smaller then i thought but good drives

These guys are my go-tos for USB drives. I record video during product demonstrations and give these USB drives to our sales reps or directly to our customers. For video, these drives are fast and have good capacity, but they are also good for general purpose use. And you cant beat the price!

These drives are a good value and pretty fast (see below for more info.) They also look nice, although the metal understandably gets scratched from being inserted. My only concern is that they get pretty warm when being used, especially over USB 3.0. They arent burning hot or anything, but Ive never owned a flash drive (metal or otherwise) that did this. (I also find the included Everything But Stromboli lanyard to be kind of strange but thats neither here nor there.) ***Testing info:*** I used the USB FlashBench software to measure the actual performance against the manufacturers claims of 150 MB/s speeds and 15x faster than USB 2.0 (also to detect counterfeits.) On my computer the drives read data at about 141 MB/s and write at 101 MB/s over USB 3.0. On USB 2.0, they read at 29 MB/s and write at 19 MB/s. In other words, theyre about 5x faster over USB 3.0. These speeds are comparable to other fast drives and for the price Im totally happy with that.

Great purchase. Needed several of these for an IT class and they work perfectly. They get pretty hot to the touch.

Two of the 5 USB drives had problems; one could not be formatted and was therefore useless.

Great thumb drive. I Just wished it had a little led light to tell me when its reading/writing.

They all worked well. The computer recognizes them as USB 3.0 and they operate at the corresponding transfer speed.

I store information, music, and movies.

Crystal Disk Mark used to check performance. Read Performance acceptable ( not best in class usb 3.1) @ 130 mb/s Write performance dismal at sub 10 mb/s. I had expected double or triple this speed (20-30mb/s)

Worthless to me. Bought specifically to make several boot installers... not allowing it to make an efi partition makes these doo doo.
