The only negative, which is clearly stated on the packaging, so it is known from the beginning, is that the USB-C port is only compatible with mobile phones and tablets and not with computers with a USB-C port. At least as far as MacBook is concerned, the device is not recognized when used in a USB-C port, it must be connected with a USB-A adapter.

Because I transfer photos and I basically had it as a backup, fast file transfer, incredible, I was glad it had a port for mobile input, but later on, it stopped transferring files to the mobile, then it simply stopped communicating with the computer (meaning you plug it into the PC, it just shows there is an unrecognized file)

  It's okay in terms of speed and reliability, but they get very hot very easily (I've bought quite a few, so they're all like this), and the mechanism that changes from type A to type C shouldn't be plastic because it can't withstand the pressures (the force you need to push the stick if it gets stuck in the port), so you have issues quite often, and in 2 main cases, this plastic clip has broken...

  Very good and convenient for anyone who wants to use it between mac (usb-c) and pc (usb-a), 4 stars because the mechanism is a bit low quality and after many uses it gets stuck resulting in not keeping the ports open.

  I had bought the same one 2 years ago in 32 GB, it still works flawlessly and I decided to get another one in 64 GB, for the price and the company it is reliable, also it is normal to heat up during use...here a 2 GB stick that plays music in the car raises temperature, let alone if we want to transfer for example a 4K resolution movie, for me using it on a mobile for back up of photos from the mobile, music transfer is very fair. Both sticks have worked on SAMSUNG mobiles with good USB-C port application.

  Very good USB stick, I have had it for about 3 months and I bought it so that I can connect it to both my computer and my mobile phone. The connection is seamless, as well as the transfers I have made. It seems to be of good quality and fast. Time will tell if the purchase and choice I made were worth it.

  This review is about size: 256 GB, colour: Black

  I have it for over 2 years.
  Fast, convenient, cheap, it is immediately recognized by both the computer and the android.
  But... after 6-8 months, the selector does not lock, so you have to hold the security with your finger while inserting it into a port. In some ports, this is extremely inconvenient.
  But... it gets hot. I don't know how this affects its performance, but when I use it for a long time and take it out, it is really hot.
  But... after 18 months, the computer periodically loses it. It works normally and then suddenly acts as if it is disconnecting by itself. Even during file transfers... annoying.
  So I had to get another one.
  If it says something, I bought the same one today.
  Even for 2 years of life, it is worth the money I pay.

  This review is about the size: 64 GB

  Very beautiful but also so small that I didn't expect it. It is less than 3 fingers (natural size). I played with the button and I see that it has phases where the button "locks" either if you leave it in the middle or if you move it right or left. I inserted it, removed it, and it read it directly.

  What I liked a lot is that inside the flash drive there is a manual and an application (called Memory Zone) from SanDisk which you install and within it, you can play ball much better in terms of file transfers and copying. Very good. It also has other tools inside as you can see in the photos. From me, it is a big yes that it provides this application. For now, I am very satisfied. I hope and wish it continues to work as well as continue to be readable by the phone and computer because another random one I bought from China after 3 uses is not readable by the devices.

  Additionally, I will come back to see if the button works after some time or if it goes crazy back and forth (with simple use and gentle movements).

  The only thing I noticed for now is that it requires a little force to insert it into the phone (maybe that's why it broke for others, but I will see in the future). That's all for now. I hope I helped. It's worth it for me.

  UPDATE:
  After so much time, its usefulness was to transfer songs to the flash drive for the car.

  Unfortunately, I was very happy at first but not anymore.

  The application crashes like crazy. The flash drive is slower than a turtle. While it reads the flash drive and I see my files, it doesn't let me make any transfers outside the application. Especially the application itself was fine at first, now it crashes and throws me out. I don't know what's wrong because the phone is very fast.

  I am completely disappointed...

  Convenient with its 2 different USB types, however, after minimal use it heats up quite a bit and the data transfer is not the fastest I have seen.

  Excellent value for money! Quite fast speeds as long as it is connected, of course, to a corresponding port (type C or blue type A), and very practical that it has both types of connections. In terms of quality, it may not be the best I have ever held in my hands, but for its price, it is excellent.

  After 6 months, the button broke and it doesn't lock in any position (USB A or USB C). You need to hold it when you plug it into the PC.

  Convenient with the 2 plugs (type A & type C). It requires a little attention, the side plastic that pushes & collects the plugs does not withstand much wear and tear. It heats up during high-speed and long-duration data transfers (without any problem).

  Recording at 35mb/s on average (5gb 600 photos/videos) takes about 3 minutes.
  Storage capacity is 57.2 Gibibytes.
  Material construction and practicality, neither heavy nor hot.
  Is it worth the money? It is worth it.

  This review is about the size: 64 GB

  For about 10 euros, this 64GB flash drive with dual USB A and Type C ports is truly worth its money. It is the future of storage without adapters, making transportation much easier. It is compatible as a regular USB with most computers and devices, and can be directly connected to mobile phones, MacBooks, and newer computers with the Type C port. It also includes the Sandisk android application. I bought 2 identical 64GB flash drives.

  In terms of speed, it performs exceptionally well in this price range as a USB 3.1, especially when connected to a blue port or Type C. I will also run benchmarks.

  Since it is a 64GB drive, it comes formatted in FAT32 (compatible everywhere but sacrifices small files up to 4GB). This is done by the manufacturer, as it is usually not possible to format it this way. All storage media up to 32GB are now in FAT32, while those above 64GB come in exFAT for USB/SD cards and NTFS for hard drives, ensuring compatibility everywhere. If you need to format it from Windows, you only have the option of exFAT and NTFS, with no option for formatting in FAT32 (only possible through Linux or special software). If you experience compatibility issues on your mobile or TV, even if it is formatted in exFAT, it may work if you format it in NTFS.

  The only thing that bothers me is that it could have a larger hole to attach a lanyard or keychain.

  As for reliability, I don't know yet how well it will perform since it was purchased on March 17, 2022, but it will be reevaluated in the future.

  Fast data transfer.
  Small size that is convenient for transportation and does not require carrying cables with you.
  I do not have an opinion yet on the mechanism that switches USB to type-C, how durable it is over time.

  It's fine. I use it to run Chrome OS on laptops. That means it's connected all day to the port.
  It doesn't heat up at all and it works quickly. (the day I installed the OS, it heated up quite a bit)

  It requires some attention when switching between regular USB and type C to avoid damage, the mechanism doesn't seem 100% reliable. Otherwise, it is fully satisfactory for average use.

  This review is about the size: 64 GB

  Well, let's clarify a few things...

  First of all, the flash drive is great in terms of speed. Formatted in exFAT and NTFS, it reached over 160MB/s read and 65MB/s write. Those who say it's slow or plugged it into a USB 2.0 port or expect SSD speeds... Well, those speeds apply to sequential read and write, just like any other flash drive or disk/SSD. If someone tries to copy a folder with hundreds or thousands of small files (KB-sized) and expects to see those speeds, they better forget about it because it simply doesn't happen.

  Others complain about the capacity. However, things are not at all as they describe them. First of all, have they ever bought any storage unit from any manufacturer and seen their operating system display the advertised capacity? Of course not! The capacities are EXACTLY what the manufacturers state, but there is a significant difference. There is a distinction between KiloByte (as stated by the manufacturer) and KibiByte (the scale used by the operating system). Let's break it down a bit more: 1 KiloByte = 1000 Bytes. 1 KibiByte = 1024 Bytes. Therefore, 1 MegaByte = 1000x1000 Bytes = 1,000,000 Bytes, but 1 MebiByte = 1024x1024 Bytes = 1,048,576 Bytes. So, when the manufacturer says 32 GigaBytes, it means 32,000,000,000 Bytes, which is approximately 29.8 GibiBytes. Simple math.

  As for the heating issue, EVERYTHING heats up, it's just that those with a metallic casing dissipate heat better, so the casing itself gets warmer. However, this is actually a good thing because it means that the heat we feel when touching it has been transferred away from the chip. Of course, not everything heats up the same way, but that's the general idea. So, nothing to worry about. Quite the opposite.

  The only drawback, which has also been mentioned by other users, is that the security mechanism that holds the connectors in place doesn't snap tightly, so when you try to plug the flash drive into a somewhat tight port, the connector tends to retract. This aspect could definitely use some improvement.

  Overall, and I say this with certainty as I have been using it daily for a long time, it is one of the best solutions, especially because it incorporates a Type-C connector, which gives it greater flexibility.

  Heats up quickly. Transfers files quickly from a computer, which is why I wanted it.

  But it seems to have a problem copying or deleting files from a mobile phone, although it reads the ones I copied from the computer. The application may have a problem.

  If it was only for a computer, I would definitely go for another one. Now that it is also for a mobile phone, someone might be better off spending a little more money and getting a better one.

  Nice equipment, but the slider on the left and right sometimes may not resist the pressure to insert into the phone or computer, and you have to play around with it. But a minor critique.

  The copying speeds are frustratingly slow. It never worked at USB 3.0 speeds. As soon as it heats up, after about 1 minute, the speed drops to zero levels. Tragic. I returned it, thinking it was broken, and they gave me another one. Same problems.

  This review is about the size: 64 GB

  Beautiful, small, and useless. The negatives outweigh the positives. Firstly, its capacity is not 64GB, on the computer it is 61 and on the mobile device that reads it differently it is 57.7GB less is not a small amount. Now the real problem, in Android, you can transfer files either from the pre-installed application of the respective manufacturer (My Files) or from the SanDisk Memory Zone application. Through "My Files," the transfer speed is 2mb/sec but it has good read speed, while through the SanDisk application, it has a write speed of 30mb/sec but for some reason it has terrible read speed. It cannot play 4K videos directly from the flash drive, it has crazy buffering. On a computer with USB 3.0, the speed is around 30mb, imagine transferring 40GB at a speed of 30mb/sec, it takes 1.5 hours, so it is automatically impractical and partly useless... The worst part for me (Note 8) is that for some reason, the mobile device either reads it through its own application or through the SanDisk one, it does not display it in both simultaneously. So, it will read it through the inconvenient SanDisk application in order to write files and then remove/insert it again to be able to view the files.

  I do not recommend it to anyone, it is better to get a normal good USB flash drive and use it with the adapter!

  ***After months of use, I take back what I said. Partially. The speeds, etc. remain the same, but it is convenient if you always have it with you. To clean your mobile device, transfer files to and from the mobile device-PC, and use it as a USB when needed. I will also get the 128GB version.

  Average in terms of speed, there are definitely better options out there, but the price is quite good for what it offers. Very user-friendly thanks to the type C (directly compatible with mobile devices), overall a good choice and quite attractive as a USB.

  It does what it says, reads over 150mb/s and writes at best 45mb/s. It was tested on a new computer a while ago with all possible connections. The only downside is the capacity... 28gb available... but I kind of expected that. Personally, I am satisfied.

  I bought it from abroad for around €16, by the way

  I consider it overrated and expensive for what it offers.
  I bought it on 16/08/2017 for 60€ and nowhere did it mention the read, write, response time speeds, nor did it mention the IOPS Read/Write.
  Considering all of the competition, I thought it was the fastest, but when I connect it to my computer, it shows speeds in the double digits, meaning 10-19MB/s Read/write.
  On my phone, it takes literal hours to transfer 8GB video files in 2K and FullHD.
  It's a big inconvenience.
  All companies should make fast memories in USB sticks with speeds over 200MB/s.
