One of the things that I really like about this drive is its size. It is incredibly small and compact, which makes it very easy to carry around with me wherever I go. Despite its small size, it has an impressive capacity of 256GB, which is more than enough for my needs.
The drive also has a USB 3.1 interface, which provides fast transfer speeds. I have been able to transfer large files such as videos and photos in just a matter of seconds, which is very convenient.
In terms of build quality, the SanDisk 256GB Ultra Fit USB 3.1 feels very sturdy and well-made. The drive has a metal casing that gives it a premium look and feel. I have accidentally dropped the drive a few times, but it has held up very well and has not suffered any damage.
Another great feature of this drive is its compatibility with a wide range of devices. I have used it with my laptop, desktop, and even my smart TV, and it has worked perfectly with all of them.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase of the SanDisk 256GB Ultra Fit USB 3.1. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-capacity, reliable, and compact USB drive. I would highly recommend this drive to anyone in the market for a new USB drive.
This SanDisk 3.2 Gen 1 flash memory stick would not read when directly connected to USB ports on my 2017-2021 Smart Samsung TVs or LG TVs. All TVs were 4K/UHD. I found using a USB 3.0/3.1 extension cord got this Samsung flash drive stick to read. And all the 4K and 2K videos played no problem on the TVs which I expected sine the same video and movie files were working on the TVs with the other flash memory sticks which were USB 3.0/3.1. The Samsung 3.2 Gen 1 would read and play when directly connected to the USB ports of my Roku Ultra and Wifi-Wireless Routers. I am extremely happy with the performance. This makes life a whole lot easier when traveling and needing to quickly copy files or watch movies on various devices. I just need to bring the 3.0/3.1 USB extension in case TVs don't read the stick directly.
A few months ago the infotainment system got confused and started showing up some playlists twice. I took the drive out to see if I could somehow reset whatever the car reads, but as it turns out there doesn't appear to be any kind of file the car writes on the drive (maybe it's stored internally on the car). In the process of taking the drive out, I cracked the plastic case around the contacts... ultimately I was afraid it would break off into a USB port so I took that part off entirely (see photo).
Yesterday I decided that I would try reformatting the drive to see if that solved the problem. I copied all of the content off (which took a good 5-6 hours) and tried to reformat the drive, but apparently now Windows sees it as write protected and I can't make it writable again. I don't know whether that has something to do with the broken casing or not, but now it is no longer usable either in the computer or in the car.
Maybe 20 months of that kind of constant use is a reasonable lifespan for a flash drive. I definitely wish I had gotten one with a metal casing instead of the plastic. I loved the form factor for what I needed, and it was reliable enough until I tried to reformat it. So take this review with a grain of salt - I'd consider my use case to be a fairly rigorous one. If you're considering a similar situation, I'm not sure I can recommend this specific drive (unless I buy a different one and it lasts even less time - in which case I'll come back here and eat my words!)
