SanDisk 256GB Ultra Fit USB 3.1 Flash Drive - SDCZ430-256G-G46, Black

I dont know how many Ive bought now. I did crack one and lost all the data that was in it, hence the minus one star. I would be raving about it if it had been durable enough to withstand taking the brunt of the fall when my laptop slid off a low chair. I keep it inserted all the time. So when my laptop fell, the flash drive cracked from the pressure of being crushed between the floor and my laptop.

I am obsessive about keeping track of things that are important to me, and have a tenancy to have a decent capacity flash drive on me at all times. Sometimes its on a necklace chain, sometimes on a clip with my keys, but its always affixed to something difficult to lose. This dish drive however, defied all efforts to be fixed to a clip, or necklace. You might be able to get some delicate ribbon through the loop, but nothing of substance. After keeping careful track of this for months, and constantly searching for a means to secure it, I could find nothing that would fit through the loop. Other than being supremely easy to lose by even the most obsessive persons, its a good flash drive, and I have no other complaints.

While this SanDisk drive is easy to use and quite fast there are some limits. First limit is the USB A connector. Most recent laptop/desktop computer manufactures have switched to USB C, which requires the buyer to seek an adapter and may limit the speed of the USB 3 connection. Second once the user places the drive to the USB port and wishes to remove the drive to another machine getting the drive out can be a challenge. Plastic is flimsy and easy to break if the user uses a cord or rope like puller. While I like the drive the case construction is not great.

This flash drive is great as most of Sandisks products are. I love that this is very compact so it does not stick out very far like most flash drives do. 256gb is just enough for my device. Yes, I will buy more if I need them.

The product is good but the durability is bad as you can see in the photos the USB flash drive banded, easily. made with really thin plastic.

This is a great flash drive to use as a Time Machine back up for your MacBook. I have a MacBook Air M2 512G laptop. This works great to back up using Time Machine. It is so small I can just keep it plugged into my laptop. And just eject it if it needs to be removed. It is very small with a little loop on top to place on a small key ring or something else to connect it to so you dont lose it. Even with my C to USB A adaptor it is a small device. See photos

Big storage on a tiny drive. I immediately bought a strap in the hope that it will keep me from losing it. Best use might be additional (backup) storage permanently installed in your computer.

Good

It arrived slightly late, but that’s due to weather conditions so completely understandable; on the actual product: I love how it is very Small and Compact and doesn’t stick out of Xbox Series S too much. I have it formatted for Backward Compatible Xbox Games. It was easy to double my Xbox Storage from 512GB to 1TB. I very much recommend this for any Xbox Series S owner.

I love the size. It is quite tiny and can be hidden almost anywhere. For securing information this is the optimal size.
