SanDisk 32GB (Five Pack) USB 3.0 Flash Ultra Memory Drive CZ48 - Bundle with (2) Everything But Stromboli Lanyard

Capacity is 30.76 GB! Use for smart Tvs movies!

From doing research, this is a common problem with this size and type of sandisk drive. Drive detects error and makes itself read only to prevent user from continuing to use drive and having drive fail with additional data. Source: Sandisk Support forum.

So far, so good. They arrived today and I wrote several files to one of them. Was smooth and easy process.

Long lasting

CLAIMED PERFORMANCE THAT USB 3.0 IS TEN TIMES FASTER THAN USB 2.0 IS NOT TRUE. ACTUAL TIME, CHECKED WITH A STOP-WATCH IS BARELY 80% FASTER. TIME TO COPY A 1.7 GB FOLDER (SOME 5100 FILES), WAS ABOUT 500 SECONDS, AS COMPARED TO 894 SECONDS FOR THE USB 2.0. THIS WAS DOUBLE CHECKED.

This was my third attempt to find flash drives to accommodate my needs. I had 5 gigs worth of photos that needed to be copied to flash drives. Two previous orders, nameless Chinese drives all had to be returned because they took hours to almost load the 5 gigs on 16 gig drives and then they wouldnt open. The SabDisk five each loaded the 5 gigs in about ten minutes and worked fine. Should have gone to SanDisk to begin with and the Chinese drives were not that much less expensive. I know everything comes from China and the only reason I refer to my previous purchases was because the only I.D. was the paper label that said made in China.

They work great.

Fast delivery, well packaged, good value.

Easy to work with. Plug the device in and you are ready to go. Cant be simpler than that. Definitely recomend. Will buy again.

I learned the hard way that most thumb drives, regardless of capacity, are formatted in a way that does not allow any single file over 4gb to be loaded. This is a problem for consumers. At the very least, manufacturers should be upfront about this so non-tech-savvy consumers (like me) dont return thumb drives as faulty (as I did) when they just need to be reformatted.
