Title: Works like itâs supposed to
Review: Working great so far.I previously tried to save money and purchased a few Amazon brand drives. Terrible idea. They kept âautoâ ejecting without me touching them or anything on my computer. And then, of course, I would get a warning that I should eject them before removing them .. but I never removed them.Decided to scrap those as it was just constantly ejecting (honestly about every 10-15 min or more).. these ScanDisk brands are performing perfectly

Title: Fast and Reliable
Review: First of all let's be clear, the real size of space is 115 GB. Other than that it is really fast and the transfer speed is consistent. SanDisk is still a very reliable brand and this is a sturdy hard plastic flash drive. I use it to get media content on my PS5 so yes it works great there.I'll update my review to let you know the actual speed of transfer that I'm getting from it. Just make sure you're using your USB 3.0 and above port so you can take full advantage of the speed.

Title: worked great for a software download
Review: My Bose tv speaker quit putting out any sound ($300 new) at 2 yrs old-tried the old unplug the power & hdmi connection-no good. I found a maybe fix was to download new software-had to be 45gb or less-I didn't have much hope but IT FIXED IT!!!!

Title: Drive gets very hot w/sustained read/write & will fail file copy, otherwise fine for basic use
Review: Put the 3 pack through their paces since I will be using them to run an O/S.Observations:- Fast initial writes (50MB/s) dropping to a steady 13-15MB/s in a prolonged write scenario- Read speeds very good (150MB/s), even in a prolonged scenario- Deeper into testing, I found that far too often attempts to do sustained read/write would terminate unexpectedly with an error (0x800701b1 Error - "A Device Which Does Not Exist Was Specified")- Taking the drives out of the socket I noticed the metal portion was scalding hot- From further experimentation, it seems heat was indeed the major factor for the failed operations - blowing on the drive would actually eliminate the problem altogetherMy personal conclusion from all this is the drives are good for basic use (short spurts of either read or write) likely perfectly fine for the use cases I intend for these drives.

Title: Good storage solution
Review: I needed some extra storage space for my files, and I wanted to have some extra copies.These were just right for what we needed. And the price was good. No problems transfering the data, although it was not a lot. I don't know how fast it would work for larger file transfers.

Title: Acceptable R/W for price
Review: Using AS SSD bench and 1GB Write/Read, 1GB Sequential clocked in at 55 Mb/s and read at 147 Mb/s. note that the drive does heat up fast to multiple tests did reduce write speeds down to 25-30 Mb/s. So the drive does perform to spec.

Title: Read speeds better than advertised
Review: I bought a 3 pack. Read speeds tested at 164 MB/s to 170 MB/s. So, my results were better than advertised, which is a pleasant surprise.

Review: I like these drives! SanDisk drives are reliable and fast enough to carry around day-to-day small files. As a downside, they are VERY easy to misplace due to their small size. If your key ring is large enough, you can attach them to it easily however.Please note that if you are going to transfer, say, 28GB of data in one fell swoop, it might take quite a long time as you'll hit a write-hole. It also goes fast-ish for a few gigabyte before reaching said write-hole. Even if it advertises USB 3.0, you cannot reach speeds that fast on that drive. So, that said, don't buy this if you expect super fast writing speeds. However, reading speeds are quite good and doing a Windows install with this takes no time at all. Heck, moving back said 28GB back to a local hard drive or SSD take no time at all. If writing speeds are important, get an external SSD instead (be sure to get one with a DRAM cache!)My order of a 3-pack was all validated and the storage is all real. That said, beware of FAKE flash drives! If you want to check if your drives actually reports the correct advertised storage, google "ValiDrive" from the GRC (Gibson Research Corporation) and test them. Like I said, all 3 drives I received from this 32GB 3-pack were all actual 32GB drives.

Review: I'm giving this USB stick five stars overall because I'm thrilled with my purchase, mainly because it works flawlessly so far, the delivery was extremely fast, and the USB came well secured. However, as I mentioned in my rating, I think the value for the money is closer to three stars when you consider the number of gigabytes you get, mainly because people these days need 10x times more space on devices like this, and because a lot of data and documents are stored electronically. Given that everything is becoming more and more expensive these days, I think spending nearly 50.$ for just 512Gb is a bit of a rip off; for that price, I would rather get 1TB, or possibly 750GB / 820GB, ..However I realize that the $$ of USB's are pretty much the same across all stores, on the web or not, and that SanDisk is the most trustable company of USB memory sticks, and that is the reason I deliberately went with the choice to get it, regardless of the exorbitant cost. Since those reviews are an aide for individuals to purchase or not to purchase something, I need to add that a couple of years back I purchased a set of 2x 512GB USB sticks for I think 20.$ from some unknown by me brand, and one got my PC ''virused'' and second quit working at second use, so in the event that you searching for more reasonably priced USB, know that less expensive product not generally implies it's great on the long run, and despite the fact that those memory sticks are fundamentals nowadays, and we as a whole would like them to not be so expensive, it is smarter to contribute greater sum and have it basically everlastingly, than attempting to set aside cash and in the end loose that cash on the grounds that the gadget is flawed and you need to buy new one or/and pay for return which summaries loosed more money in the end.I hope my review will assist you with your decision making for possible purchasing of this item.
