SanDisk Cruzer Glide 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive -SDCZ600-256G-G35

Have used SanDisk flash drives in the past and they always perform as expected.

This used product was defective and was unrecognizable to my computer from the start. I returned it for a full refund and purchased a new in box one that works perfectly. I guess the moral of the story is to only buy stuff like this if it is in the orginal packaging.

This is nothing like the old Cruzer slide-out flash drives. Its much flimsier feeling in every way. Its also very slow to write to, which is aggravating if you are trying to fill up the full capacity. However, its pretty cheap for the size. If you just plan on occasionally adding files to it, or filling it up only once, then it seems acceptable. If you are planning on moving stuff around with it often, Id recommend something else. USB SSDs are getting a lot cheaper (maybe 2x the price of this), and are probably an order of magnitude faster, albeit usually a bit bulkier.

I have a lonovo think pad that had only a small hard drive, bur has a port for a micro sd card. I have a 256 GB micro card in the slot--so I can back up the whole thing to the 256 GB USB flash drive. It takes a while, but about once a month backups give me peace of mind. I use smaller flash drives more often to back up work accomplished between the full backups.

purchase to put my 3d movies on for projector. Works great. High quality.

I like this flash drive. 256 GB is a good amount of storage to back up files on your computer. No issues with previous SanDisk storage I have purchased.
