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.

It works, it gets hot because it's fully metal and compact if you're looking for a tiny flash drive that's type-C and type-A, this could be an option.

Having the USB C port allows to easly transfer files from your smartphone or laptop with high speed. USB A on the other side has 3.0 interface that also has high-speed file transfer with a tower pc. Strong and small housing. Good price. Having the USB C port allows to easly transfer files from your smartphone or laptop with high speed.
