SanDisk Ultra Luxe USB-C / USB-A Dual Flash Drive - 128GB

The build quality of the drive is great, and the swivel mechanism works well. However, writes are slow, and the drive gets extremely hot (too hot to touch) shortly after plugging it in, and remains at that high temperature, even with no disk activity taking place.

Sandisk is dropping the ball with this model.
The bad:
1. It's sloooooow.
2. The security software included is rubbish. And it will only work on a PC. (Samsung has security software that works on both Android, PC and MAC)
3. It gets hot
4. It's flimsy. It looks pretty but feels cheap and scratches easily.

I agree with everything SteveG78 says

Disappointing after so many good SanDisk sticks.
Is it annoying enough to go buy a different 512GB, maybe not but this won't be my stick of choice for long I agree with everything SteveG78 says

This is great for if you don't need to regularly transfer large files and just want a small drive that works for different devices.
However this tends to get extremely hot when transferring anything over a couple GB, so I'd suggest going for a proper external SSD if that is going to be your use case.

Very good quality drive, great that it has both USB-A and C allowing it to be used with most devices, can get a bit hot. Very good quality drive, great that it has both USB-A and C allowing it to be used with most devices, can get a bit hot.

It does get a little hot, and is very small, so make sure you don't lose it! It does get a little hot, and is very small, so make sure you don't lose it!

Back in the day I would carry around a few floppy's and a whole heap of rescue CD's and DVD's Today I carry this around with A bit of open source software I can do all and more with this one than I did in the past... and to boot I can download the iso's on the phone and transfer them direct to the USB stick so I don't even need the laptop now. Disclaimer your mileage may vary and you will need to know what you are doing. When I am not using it in that mode I often change the file system to ext4 or exfat so I can work around the 4gb barrier.

Pros can carry a lot of data around yes there is bigger solutions too
Cons the original fat16~fat3...view more Back in the day I would carry around a few floppy's and a whole heap of rescue CD's and DVD's Today I carry this around with A bit of open source software I can do all and more with this one than I did in the past... and to boot I can download the iso's on the phone and transfer them direct to the USB stick so I don't even need the laptop now.

Cons the original fat16~fat32 file system is its biggest limitation

Summery if you know what you are doing there is no problem it works... If you just need to carry a hole heap of small files there is nothing wrong with its original file system. I carry around one with that file system any way, so I can plug it in to a device that can only read the older file system.

The product had an issue, but it was exchanged for a new one through a very simple process. I am satisfied with the fast and convenient service. The product had an issue, but it was exchanged for a new one through a very simple process. I am satisfied with the fast and convenient service.

It's been really great! the only thing is it does get quite hot, but it doesn't bother me! It's been really great! the only thing is it does get quite hot, but it doesn't bother me!

Being able to copy some files from my phone to this pen drive is good.

I use this between my MacBook Air and my Android phone. It's fast, easy to use, and convenient. Bought it because it's metal. I'm not worried about breaking it like plastic ones.

My first thought when seeing this drive was damn that's small. Which I suppose has come in handy when using it on my keyring.
The only downside is that it gets rather hot during file transfers over 2gb, but apart from that it's a really useful piece of kit to have.
