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

Good and easy to use.

Purchased for use with a Blink control module. Lots of storage at a great price in a very small device. So compact, I plan to get another one to keep on my keychain.

I have purchased this item twice. I love how compact it is. I use it primarily for storing my photo RAW files so they dont take up space elsewhere on my computer. Great product!

still in box, keep forgetting to use it for backups.. im sure it works fine though. sandisk is a solid brand.

Like the large storage capacity. Outer plastic case cracked and now is broke. Still works but plastic case falls off. Metal would be better but probably would increase the manufacturing cost.

It is tiny but compact, which is very convenient considering my previous 1tb storage looks like a block of brick. So I panicked when I lost the usb after less than 2 months of use, looked everywhere but couldnt find it. So I decided to order another one of the usb again. Then I found my previous usb drive in the laundry a few days later lol. It still works, no data were corrupted from what I have checked! Now Sandisk profits from twice the USB sale, clever girl.

Pros: 1. This drive has been very reliable, and Ive never had any problems with reading or writing data from it. 2. Its tiny! It could, in theory, be plugged into a laptop semi-permanently without much trouble. Cons: 1. The thing is made of cheap, flimsy plastic that looks like it would break if I ever tried to carry it around in my pocket. 2. Its super slow. Plan for USB 2.0 (or worse!) speeds. Other thoughts: Originally I got this for archival purposes, as 512GB flash storage was nothing to sneeze at in 2020. Earlier this year (2023) I switched to a much better archival system, and so nowadays I instead keep it plugged into my main rig as permanent storage, with recycle bin enabled. I basically use it in place of the Downloads folder, for all the stuff, both wanted and unwanted, that you accumulate browsing the internet, watching media, etc. This has allowed me to use my main SSD for more important files, and saved me the inconvenience of upgrading to something larger. So, its definitely nice to have. I wouldnt recommend it though, as there are much better options out there. Speed really does matter a lot.

This product is priced well and on a per GB basis, you cant beat it. It is really fast so I can store and transfer a lot of stuff in minutes. E.g., I transferred a 4k movie in under two minutes. The large storage capacity is obviously why I got it and Im fairly happy with it, even though I just got it today.

I use this device to store drum kits in my Yamaha DTX900 e-drum module. Im not sure if I will ever run out of storage. I have dozens of kits stored on one drive so far. Since it is so small, I leave it in the module.

Big capacity, small size. It does get a bit warm when used for a while
