128GB Ultra Luxe USB 3.1 Gen 1 Flash Drive - SDCZ74-128G-G46, Black

Sleek Design with Plenty of Storage This SanDisk Ultra Luxe 256GB USB 3.1 drive has been a solid performer for me. The all-metal casing feels sturdy and has a nice weight in hand, so it doesn’t come across as flimsy like some plastic drives. Its compact size makes it easy to keep on a keychain or in a laptop bag, and I appreciate that it doesn’t feel bulky even though it packs a generous 256GB of storage. In use, transfer speeds have been consistently fast for everyday tasks like moving videos, photos, and large documents. While it won’t quite match an SSD, for a flash drive it’s quick and reliable. The fact that it’s USB 3.1 means it works great on modern laptops, but it’s also backward compatible with older USB ports, which I’ve tested on a few different machines without any issues. One thing to be mindful of is that the all-metal design can get a little warm during prolonged transfers, but nothing concerning. The drive also doesn’t have a protective cap, so if you’re prone to tossing it into dusty pockets or bags, you may want to attach it to a keychain loop for better protection. Bottom line: A reliable, fast, and well-built USB drive with plenty of space. Ideal if you want something compact and stylish that can still handle larger files without slowing down.

This flash drive performs very average to maybe slightly above average in terms of speed. The build quality is extremely nice and solid metal, I prefer these drives for this reason alone. Because they are metal and very small, they do get extremely hot to a point where I cannot touch it without burning myself. They appear reliable so far, I've been using one of these drives for my SMB server which is on 24/7 and loads PlayStation games so it's not exactly an easy life either. I recommend these if you have the means but overall any other cheaper drive will do just as good.

This one is huge compared to what I have been using and they fit the slots tight so if I accidentally set my glasses down on them they don't kick out and then give me error messages. They are smaller in their outside physical dimensions as well and fit right next to each other without contacting each other. Performance is very fast loading even large files and it does not require any formatting. They are ready to go. Really worth every penny.

This seems to be a decent drive. Not as fast as the Samsung Bar Plus but fairly close on USB 3.0 port, though it does have the occasional temporary slow down on the 2GB+ size files. Haven't noticed any excessive heat when writing these large files as some have stated, just a little warm as to be expected. I imagine the metal casing helps with heat dispersion, just like my Samsungs. As all large capacity USB drives I own, the 1st thing I do is reformat to NTFS to allow playing of videos on my TVs. They don't like the exFat format, which is how this drive comes. I get anywhere from 80 to 95MB transfer rates, though as mentioned before, it will slow for a few seconds with some large files, down to 25-30MB, before resuming USB 3.0 speeds. My Samsungs will average about 110MB and they don't drop in speed like this drive, but they have gone up in pricing over the last couple of years. So overall, this SanDisk Ultra Luxe seems to be a decent drive for the money and I'll probably get more if it holds up. Recommended.

The molded metal formfactor means that it's easy to add to your keychain and always have it handy; since the hole is in the metal body of the drive itself that means no tiny metal ring or plastic tab to break off. As long as you don't loose your keys, you're pretty much guaranteed that the flashdrive is still with them. Speed is pretty decent, with a caveat: it gets *really* slow when you have more than one copy job writing to the drive at the same time, it will take literally 10+ times longer to finish than if you copy them as two separate batches one after the other. The metal body of the drive also gets pretty hot when in use, but so far I haven't seen any reliability issues.

Fast and Secure Data Storage. I carried this on my keychain for 2 years, (Even went swimming with it accidently) And after drying it out have no problem writing or reading from it. Formatted it to NTFS from FAT32 so I could store large files on it. If I could change one thing it would be to make the hole in it larger to better fit on key rings.

Purchased this to increase my storage size for my Tesla. Saw this product after seeing a review from another customer here. Very easy to install. after putting it in the front usb port, go control --> safety --> format usb drive. It is installed after it said "Success." Love the increased storage sapce.

Great drive. Transfers are fast

Perfeito. Vai servir para meu propósito.

As always, high-quality product from SanDisk. I was a loyal customer of this brand for many, many years. Maybe there is something like... I don't remember if I had it with the previous ones, but this one... It does get warmish, but not hot, when you write stuff on it. And when I work on it from my computer and when I press SAVE, it takes a few seconds... Computer freezes for a few seconds when it saves it. So if I have to press SAVE often enough, it can be quite inconvenient. So I sometimes just choose to work on files saved on my computer and then save the final files onto the USB, instead of working with the files directly on the USB itself. Other than that, it's a high-quality product, and I'm quite happy.

La marque ne déçoit toujours pas. Cette clé USB est pratique car elle passe partout, avec sa conception droite sans rebord qui dépasse, on peut l'introduire à côté d'une autre clé. Sa matière est solide mais on s'aperçoit qu'elle chauffe, sans causer de dommage aux fichiers, une fois retirée elle reprend vite sa température normale. Avec 128 Go, elle est performante et pratique pour transférer des gros fichiers.

love the built quality, its amazing, the writting speed is 100mb+ , totally love it. after some times it dips to 50mb/s but still its comparatively faster then other i tried. copied 100gb data, went well.

..Mint, um den Rechner mit einem Linux-System hochzufahren ( die Voraussetzung ist das Umstellen des BIOS, auf "First Boot Drive USB" ) - der Rechner fragt dann beim Hochfahren zuerst die USB-Ports ab, ob da ein bootfähiges Betriebssystem vorliegt - wenn ja bootet er dieses System - bei mr Linux-Mint. Wenn nichts ( bootfähiges ) am USB-Port hängt, geht der weiter zur SSD/HDD - dauert 1-2 Sekunden. Ich will mich nicht mehr, auf Dauer, von Microsoft abhängig machen - zumal ich meinem am häufigst genutzten Rechner nur mit "Tricks", ein Windows 11 aufspielen/updaten konnte - ursprünglich war da mal Windows 8 drauf - und das funktionierte ja auch gut --- mit anderen Worten - laut Microsoft ist das kleine Netbook für ein Updade auf Win11 zu alt. Gerade der Kleine ( 14" ), ist aber mein "Dialyse-Rechner", den ich halt immer zur Dialyse mitschleppe, um die vielen Stunden "totzuschlagen". Wie gesagt - hab mir Linux auf diesen Stick "gezogen" ( kostenlos!!! ), um mich in das Linux-System einzuarbeiten - wenn das irgendwann klappt - auf wiedersehen Windows ------ denn jeden Monat, für Windows 365 Kohle abzudrücken, wenn Microsoft mal wieder den Support einstellt ---- definitiv NEIN - dann können die mich mal ( im Mondschein begegnen oder wo keine Sonne hinscheint ). Dieser Stick hier, ist für das Linux-Mint, LOCKER schnell genug, Linux fährt fast so schnell vom Stick hoch, wie Windows von der eingebauten SSD - und sonderlich warm, wird der während des Betriebs, auch nicht. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit diesem "Miniteil" und möchte den, auf diesem Weg, weiterempfehlen - ein würdiger Nachfolger für einen SanDisk-Titanium, mein bisher schnellster - und ich hab da EINIGE USB-Sticks, von verschiedenen Herstellern - meine anderen "Lieblingssticks" gibts nicht mehr - die weissen Tosh......., hab ich noch zwei. Inzwischen hab ich in meinen insgesammt 5 Rechnern, nur noch SSDs drin. Ihr glaubt nicht, wie schnell auch ein alter Rechner sein/werden kann - ( hab einen uralten i5, "Stand-alone" ohne Netzwerkanbindung, mit XP und Win7 über einen Bootmanager - SAAAAGENHAFT - für alte Programme/Software halt - und den Labeldrucker - jetzt ratet mal von wem diese SSDs sind - richtig - SanDisk. Es gibt nur einen Hersteller, dessen SSDs etwa die gleiche, hohe Übertragungsrate haben ( Sams... ), die kosten aber oft gut das Doppelte - eher noch mehr - nicht selten das Dreifache ------ und sehr zuverlässig, sind die SanDisks hier auch - eigene Erfahrung. Übrigens - auch meine bevorzugten, häufig verwendeten Sticks sind alle von SanDisk - hohe Leistung, für wenig "Asche". Noch was - der hier hat 128GB - für ein Linux-System, sprich Mint, LOOOOOOOCKER ausreichend - das könntest du, theoretisch, sogar zigfach aufspielen - laut GOOGLE, ist da die Voraussetzug 8 GB ----------- nur schnell muss er halt sein - und das ist der hier, sogar sehr schnell.
