Update.. The reason why I had issues was because the bugs and lack of read support the new APFS file system has as compared to HFS+AT first I assumed the device was faulty because of this, but reformatting drive gets it working again.. So far now I know it was Apple to blame, the device has been working well as an external OS drive without me having to update the internal drive and loosing function of art software.I thought it would be good idea to clone my High Sierra from a standard USB three stick drive to a SSD one, and got this. It did the job. Reason for this is I refused to update my main Mac drive as I have a mental health issue with flat design,and some of my art programs would stop working ..but my iPhone i keep up to date for financial stuff, I cant synch updated iPhone iOS 11 in Mavericks, iTunes 11 , so I had to install macOS on separate drive to do, but due to usuage speed, it is a bit a pain the arse to do, and as certain things need updating. Cloned the 128GB High Sierra to this 256 SSD USB stick drive. Found os Booted almost as fast as my main drive, which was good enough to create an illusion that it was booting off a partition of internal drive. I decided to update to Mojave , it worked.. but ran a bit slower than High Sierra and after 2 boots, the drive failed, making macbook unbootable while drive was in the port. I thought my Mojave killed my mac. But mac booted when drive was removed. Then i booted into Mavericks, I found the the drive would not register or load in Finder.. tried on my other computers nothing.. Then i opened Disk Utility.. it was reading the drive but the partition was gone, including the restore one for high Sierra for the drive. I thought the drive was busted and even filed a return.. but then I tried erase/reformat drive with a new partition, it became usable again. Cloned High Sierra back on again, and its working again. So I am thinking the problem is on Apple , and would have to hope Apple fixes the partition destroying bug in its new update. (some people experienced this problem occur on their main drives when updating, rendering their macs unusable until repair by a technician)

Fastest usb flash I have tested. It's at least 4x as fast as Samsung Fit Plus 256GB in write speed. But compared to my past gen Extreme 64GB (not Extreme Pro) it's about 10-15% faster in transferring large files, but for small files the difference is just a few %. Flash drives were connected to USB3.0 ports, maybe the difference would be bigger if connected in 3.1 but I doubt it, since while transfering large files Extreme Pro has spikes of 340MB/s but 99% of the time the speeds are ~200-240MB/s. I also noticed that sliding mechanism is better on my previous gen Sandisk drive. This one has smaller notch which your finger has to grab to slide the mechanism,cause the rest of the surface is very slippery.Would I recommend this drive. Yes I would.But if you want the fast drive with better value I would suggest going with Extreme Go which is ~30% cheaper. If it is fast as it's previous model (Extreme USB 3.0) that is best buy.Read full review...

I have one computer which is still of the 2009 era so has not really got usb 3 - i added a card but this isn't going to be as fast as the true usb 3 rig. Having said that the speeds are stunning from this.Most of the time what one will find with usb 3 sticks is the read speed is perky but the write speed is usually pretty poor.Not so with this - I have some hard drives that can't keep up with this and that's quite a thing.I also have the same comment from a friend who says pretty much the same thing on his rig which does have usb 3. Faster speeds than I get and competes with the internal HDD.Of course if you look at the cost vs SSD or HDD it's massively expensive but in this day and age we dopay for speed but I bought this in a sale and it was the cheapest I have seen - given that this 128GB was worth it to me and the day after I bought it, the price was 50% more than I paid. I'm glad I jumped at it when I did.

I was first known of this drive from a work colleague who demonstrated the speed of the drive. After this looked into the drive and found out it was replaced with this newer one. I got this when it was down to around 40 pounds, worth every penny. Transferring large files is rapid in comparison with other drives, the utility which encrypts data is very useful in case of theft or loss of the device. I have seen some reviews which point out the SMART status as failed for the device, i did experience this when testing the drive however with different utilities but i believe that this is software related and not drive related and have been using this since with no problems.Great drive to get for larger file storage or quick transfer of files to another device.

Its a fast drive no doubt. At home, connecting to USB3.0, with 10 and 30MB files from my SSD, it flew. GB after GB.However, there is no magic for small files (<1MB). In the office, also with 3.0, from SSD source, I was copying some 20 GB set with a large portion of small files and it took nearly an hour. Fortunately it was a one off.Depending on the use, and file sizes typically involved might be either a waste of money (as much cheaper drives would do just as well) or a great asset.Durability, time will tell.

At first I thought it was lacking the advertised speeds - but this is because you need to disable quick eject (in windows - haven't tried it on any other o/s) - which enables write caching and allows the full speeds to be obtained (less than half without - c. 120MB/sec write speed - if quick eject enabled.) So very pleased as I bought it for high speed transfers - and it does that. Other than that its just a normal well designed usb stick - don't know about reliability yet, but can't imagine it won't be reliable.

Incredibly fast USB drive. Reaching around 300-400 MB/s write speeds, and 400+ MB/s read speeds.Beware if using those speeds for over 5 minutes - the metal casing will be very warm to the touch. If you wipe the drive using 3 passes for instance, it will be too hot to touch, so I recommend giving it time to cool off. Not sure how much this heat will affect its longevity, but heat is never good for electronics. In anticipation of this, have bumped off a star.

Well packaged, arrived in plenty of time. I compared this against a normal usb 3.0 I had laying around. I created a Windows 10 install usb and it took over 19 minutes. Then I tried the SSD flash drive from SanDisk. I got a warning that it's a large drive but continued. It loaded the files onto the drive in under 8 seconds and boots fine! Very pleased with this and even tried other OS like linux. Very happy with this product.

I always use Sandisk Pro SD, microSD and Pro USB pen keys. I use them in mobile phones, cameras and with my computer and TV. They perform brilliantly. I can typically copy from my laptop onto an Extreme Pro USB at 220Mbps! Great for such a small device.Highly recommended.

Fast. Really fast. Real life figures copying a 5+GB mkv movie from computer with SSD drive to pen key: USB2 to older SanDisk pen key struggles to maintain 28MB/s. This drive using USB3 copies same file at a steady 180MB/s.What an improvement! Real bangs for bucks.

This drive has become my daily driver and lives on my keys. Very well made and tough with the aluminium outer casing. Very fast provided you use the correct usb ports ive had 340+ Write speeds from it in 3.1 Gen 1/2 ports. Great Drive

pro:- Incredible fast both to write and read- perfect choice for a Raspberry Pi 4 b+contra- a bit bulky, not too easy to plug anything next to it to the other 3.1 USB port- quite expensive for a low-priced computer

20.3.2018

One of the fastest drives I have ever owned reaches the advertised speeds easily u can't go wrong with this drive I recommend this drive if you require speed and have the 3.1 gen 2 connector.

Had various SanDisk memory products over the years, they've always been robust, reliable and fast (as much as the technology allows at the time) - these new memory sticks are no exception.

By far one of the best usb stick you can find on the market. I have been using it for a while for my DJ performance, never let me down - super fast reading. Definetely recommend it!
