Top positive review

Remarkably dependable, convenient, and inexpensive

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2017

For what I want a flash drive to do, this is perfect. I have several of these, and mostly use them to transfer files between non-networked computers. Nothing huge, so the speed limitations of USB 2.0 aren't an issue- I can wait an extra 2 seconds for things to copy. The small size of the drive is both a positive and negative attribute; I have lost them before, but they're very easy to keep in every laptop bag I have, on a keychain, etc. And given the price, losing one or two has never been heartbreaking (any files on them also exist on multiple laptops and backups, so that's not really a concern).

I've been using these for a few years now, and never had one fail. What brought me back to write a review most recently is that this weekend I actually put one through the washing machine and tumble dry in the pocket of a pair of jeans- and it still works like a charm today. For a sub-$10 flash drive, I was shocked. Then again, that's why all the flash memory I buy is SanDisk!

Not the fastest flash drive

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2014

Flash drive works as advertised. I bought flash drive to store music on and listen to it in my car stereo system. It seemed like when I transferred my music from my documents to the flash drive, it took longer than I expected. also when I plug it into my cat stereo, it takes a minute or two for my stereo to read the drive. I have used other sandisk flash drives on same stereo and they read quicker. Now with this being said, the flash drive was and is a great price which is a big plus. It also holds a lot of data and the drive is very small which makes it easy to carry around or keep in your pocket. I would highly recommend this flash drive if someone is using it for backup or occasional use. If it is a flash drive that you read and write to daily, then you might want to go with a regular Sandisk cruzer instead of the Sandisk cruzer blade. I am giving this three stars because the product did work as advertised but just not as fast as I thought a 2.0 USB flash drive should work.

These little flash drives were purchased to use as stocking stuffers for my older grandchildren and I was not disappointed. ( the kids were happy as well). The flash drives work well and the little straps are very useful to help the kids keep up with the flash drive. I just wish there had been a strap
Just yesterday, my creative little 10 year old great granddaughter was wanting a CD burned of some little movies she made and instead, I just gave her one of these with her movies on it and a strap to help her keep up with it. Now, she can add more movies to it as she creates them and she is a happy little girl.

I ended up putting a couple of these to work for myself as well. They are a very good value for the price.

Great product, weak plastic

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2017

I really like this flash drive. I purchased it a few months ago for a class I'm taking that requires dealing with large amounts of data, so I chose this flash drive because of the low price. I've had no problems with data corruption or anything so far (knock on wood) and the flash drive is a really nice compact size, much smaller than you would expect for 32GB. The only reason I won't give it a five star rating is because the hole for a key ring is very flimsy. I've had the flash drive on my key ring and just a couple days ago the plastic broke and the drive fell off my key ring. Needless to say, if I hadn't noticed it I would have lost a semester's worth of work (including my final project). So overall I would recommend this product, just be careful if you intend to put it on a key ring.

Saves space and works great

I played sims on my old computer and wanted to safely transfer the data over to my new one, so I bought this hoping it would do the trick. And it did! I never fully transfered the data onto my computer, instead I just keep it on the flashdrive and it runs fine, it frees up a lot of space on my computer. Which is nice with school starting soon. I ordered another one to run some more games, and might even order a few more for when school rolls around. I would totally recommend this product.

Great form factor and utility

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2012

I bought two of these for my boys and got to use one of them for myself for a short period of time. They both really like them, and I love the form factor. The write speed seems okay (although I didn't do any exhaustive tests) and both boys are very happy with them. The only thing better would be the little nib-sized flash drives like the Cruzer Fit.

I was looking for a cheap USB drive to use to back up my MP3 song library, and I caught this little rascal on sale for $9.99. I didn't mind that it was USB 2.0 and thus slower than 3.0 because not only was speed not an important factor to me, but also because I have read in the reviews of 3.0 drives that they get hot when copying, and that some of them get literally too hot to handle. I don't care if that is normal or not, it doesn't sit right with me, so I'm staying with slow and dependable.

I did 2 large copies to this drive (large for me, anyway). The first was my MP3 digital music library. Nothing for the record books but dear to me, it totaled 2032 files and 6.64 GB, according to Win 7. The displayed speed varied between 6.0-7.0 MB/sec. The copy took 17:28 (watching the Windows clock and the British Open at the same time, so definitely not a scientific measure), for a calculated speed of 6.34 MB/sec. I'm sure many will howl that this is dreadfully slow, but again, I don't care. Also, the drive did not warm up at all, but stayed at room temperature through all the copies.

I also copied over an archive drive, which was mostly photos (JPEGs), with a few text files, some e-books, and a complete copy of Diablo II (D2's 11 MPQ files totaled 1.87 GB - over half the total copy). The total copy was 786 files comprising 3.17 GB. The copy displayed a speed of 6.5-7.0 MP/sec throughout, and took 7:38 to complete, which calculates to 6.92 MB/sec.

I am totally happy with this drive and its performance. The only caveat is that it is *really* small. I have heard these drives referred to as "thumbnail drives", but this is the first time that I have seen one that is actually the size of my thumbnail !!! I didn't include a picture, since other reviews have already done so. I agree with other reviewers that this small size is probably intended for use in the dashboard of a car, and it would be great for that use. I just wish it came in a container of some sort, or had some way to protect the "plug-in part", which I'm assuming is the most vulnerable part of a USB drive. Because of that, which worries me a bit, I'm giving it a 4/5 rather than a 5/5.

Great LITTLE flash drive

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2017

Wow, this thing is SMALL.

The biggest concern I would have with this thing would be using it. I've been "out of" the flash drive world for a few years. I honestly think the last time I used one was 2009 for my high school, and it was a 1GB. These things have gotten bigger in memory and smaller in size. But boy does this thing work. I used this specifically for installing linux on a laptop and it worked flawlessly.

Right now I have it hooked up as an external file storage. I can imagine using this to transport photos, etc between computers. The argument can be made that the cloud is making these flash drives irrelevant, but for offline devices or plug-and-use functionality, SanDisk has done a fantastic job with this device. Just don't lose it!

As a side note for any potential Linux users as well, some people say they have issues installing Linux with SanDisk flash drives. I experienced no such issues thus far. I will update this review if the issues ever occur.
