This has become my new best friend. I will absolutely be buying more of these. They are so easy to use, space-saving, and affordable. I store many videos for education purposes, employee orientation, in-services, etc, as well as for my personal use. These work well for the size of my video files, plus allow me to keep separate drives for ebooks, organizational records, and topics that I teach, which makes it so much easier to organize my files and just grab-and-go with everything I need for a given day's teaching materials, including rosters, handouts, student forms. They are much more compact than my former devices, so ALL of them can be stored in a single small zippered pouch in my file cabinet.

Was looking for a USB thumb drive and found this Usb at a competitive price and according to other reviews, good read speeds and OK writing speeds. The drive looks very nice and it is quite small (not as small as some of those nano drives, but still very small). The speed I measured with Crystal Mark came out at: Read = 140+ MB/s and Writing = 30 MB/s. I think at this price, this is a great drive.
Brayden Quintero
I got this when I was starting a new embedded PC project, and have over the week or so had to flash maybe 50 times, each time writing a new OS to the drive, then booting from it and installing from it. It's fast and has worked flawlessly.
Cherise
This USB 3.0 is very nice and fast writes. And small but not to small. I was able to write 219GB to this drive using one command file with no errors. Over 20K files over 200GB of files one try all files copied as fast as expected and all files look good.
Aysha Craft
I ordered a couple of these because of their size and speed plus the reputation has come to be known for. I was not disappointed with my purchase. The flash drive is very compact and can easily be carried on key chain or lanyard. The speed of the 3.0 is good also, my times for transfer or copying of files has been reduced by a good 70%-80%.

I’ve had this thumb drive for over 1 years, still works great. Fastest one I’ve used too. It does get hot, but that doesn’t bother me, as long as it works. I recently accidentally ran it through the washer and dryer and it still works! LOST NO DATA!
Maxime
Bought this USB to store my VST's, waves, Plugin Alliance ect dll files on this and it works great for that purpose as well as keeping other documents, photos, videos, music. If your a music producer or musician mixing your own music and need to store your vst's somewhere I recommend this USB.
Arlo Hollis
I needed this to make a VENTOY USB--- and I did- now I have over 25 different distros of LINUX on ONE USB and can boot into any of them as a LIVE operating system. Save a lot of time on my distro hopping- or if I just want to use something different each time.. I tried OTHER USB drives and several of them failed
Zakk Wicks
After using for quite a while. This is able to handle some pretty good amount of writes. Normally you may see some slow down in transfer speeds but I’ve written over 2 terabytes to this flash drive and read about the same off and it’s holding strong.
Cormac Mccarty
I found it to be a great USB. I'd buy another one if I need it. Love the size actually. Saw some people say it gets pretty warm or hot. I did find that it did get warm if used on my Mac, but on my PC and in an external USB hub, cool as a cucumber. No loss of data and pretty fast.
Gemma Myers
As a photographer I have given about 500 of these to my clients over the last three years and the just work. I havent seen one single failure yet and they are fast! USB 3.0 gets great transfer rates. because they have a metal case they do get hot while in use. Dont be alarmed. Plastic case drive do that too you just feel it because the plastic insulates.
Haniya Rodriquez
It's prob my fav. its small and has a metallic feel to it so its perfect when i use it for work.(cnc machines) and works great loding stl files from your computer or whatever you wish to write on it.. had a cheap plastic one and it would take 5 min to load a program but this only takes about a minute.. great product just put it on a lanyard so ya dont loose it..
Elsie-May
this thing is TINY, like maybe 2nd knuckle of your pinky finger to tip - tiny, and very narrow. Its small. Better put it in a plastic box with your other USB Keys. Surprisingly, you can write on it in permanent marker and it sticks. So, if you are going to make recovery key or some such, it is perfect.
Manha Williams
What is important is the speed and this thing is super fast. 6 times faster than my USB 2.0. I tested it by adding the same file to this USB drive and my old USB drive. It took 2 minutes to upload the file to this USB drive and 12 minutes to my old USB drive. If saving time is your main focus, buy it.
Paige
This is an extremely portable and durable drive, easily can attach to a keychain for personal use or to use as an auxiliary drive for your laptop or desktop, making it the perfect choice for adding storage space to your existing computer setup. I highly recommend this product, and will buy again when the need arises.
Ned
Based on other reviews, we did not have any major issues with heat. I keep mine plugged into a MacBook Pro for the whole day and it does stay warm, probably a good thing to dissipate the heat as it has metal casing. But I see no performance issues. Bought 2 more 128gb drives like this and these are also used similarly on other computers. Would recommend and would buy again.
Kavita
This thing is fantastic. Plugged it in and was able to very quickly drag and drop files. It was a lot smaller than I expected, but that was a pleasant surprise since I didn't need another giant dongle sticking out of my computer.
Jonny
Super easy to use once you figure out how. I have to say it does a great job, once you figure it out it’s really easy to use, and it holds a lot of files! Easy to download the files to a new location once they’re on the usb as well. Great product!
Mali Cox
I’ve read several reviews and some weren’t too flattering. My experience is that it works great. Decent transfer speeds, was able to format it for my Mac and I can use it with TimeMachine. It’s much smaller than I expect. haven’t noticed any unusual heat from the drive.
Parker
Amazing! Great quality for the unbeatable price. Similar items sell for around 30, I was so glad to find something similar at a more affordable price. I love your product, thank you!
Wade
I bought four of these for a work project upgrading software on about 100 user desktop PCs; the only issue we had was actually that most of the PCs were USB 2.0 and our USB-device scan protocol took longer than we'd like, but that's nothing against these devices, just the hardware. They were perfect for the job, because we couldn't connect too many of the machines to the host server at once or it would get bogged down transferring the software. Four people and we still probably wouldn't have finished in one day without these things. On the USB 3.0 machines, they were super fast!
Rubie Oneal
Got this as a stocking stuffer for my sister, and she LOVES it. Clips it to her key chain, so she has it nearby always. Instead of loading the laptop with all the capacity grabbing photos, she loads them on this thumb drive.
Kieren Krause
This is a USB drive you can buy without worries. My received item has a Writing/Reading speed, 67MB/134MB/s. I did a real full drive writing test and didn't find any corrupted files such as unreadable image or video files. The facts indicate Sunshine is a reliable and trusted brand. Buy it if you need a fast and secure USB stick.
Kaira Monaghan
My wife and I were about to upgrade phones and needed to download all of our pictures and videos. First, the design of this flash drive is very slick and subtle. Secondly, it is very lightweight and easy to use. Thirdly...the storage. My wife and I had hundreds of videos and close to ten thousand photos from our phones (yes...we took way too many pictures). After uploading them to the flash drive, we had not even used 1/4 of its capacity yet! If you are looking for a flash drive that holds A LOT of storage, buy this now!
Ellis Meadows
I needed an external drive that is large enough to transfer all my iTunes data from one computer to another, and chose this particular one because I had a positive experience with 128 GB one. I was a bit concerned reading reviews by others about the heating issue but decided to order one anyway, and I am glad I did. It doesn't get that hot even after using for hours of transmitting data back & forth, and it is solidly made and simple to use - plug it in, create ID & PW for protection and copy/paste or drag/drop. And, the data transfer speed is super fast.
Efan Koch
The flash drive was detected immediately by my computer. I transferred some music files to it so far. It was fast, accurate, and did not seem to have any lag. I would definitely recommend.
Mujtaba
When I received the item, I was shocked with how small it is. Like tiny. I needed to attach it to a bigger item so I wouldn't lose it. Great storage capacity. No issues so far.
Grady Lord
It works as it's supposed to, has the amount of storage it's supposed to, and I'm pleased with it. Of course it's going to get hot when in use, it's metal, which conducts heat. It does what it's supposed to, don't let the claims of it getting hot deter you from choosing this one. It's super small and looks nice. I would totally buy again!
Eren Walmsley
I am a huge fan of this usb and the quality of there products. I was surprised of the small size of this drive. I'm using this in my security system as it's main and only memory storage. I chose this out of having respect and trust in there products based on history with this brand.
Keaton
Overall this is a great flash drive, it's the fastest metal drive I've found. The metal design seems sturdy and should hopefully hold up to being thrown around with my keys.
Lilianna Martins
No problems so far. I copied, transferred, deleted all the data on the drive then reformatted the drive, RE: HEAT, I guess all these small capacity do the same. I really worked this 16GB out for six straight 6 hours copying 98 music files, editing & spot listening to all 98 tracks, spot listening to all 98 tracks, reediting 37 tracks, re listening to the 37 tracks then spot listening to all 98 tracks again. Then customized the number listing arrangement of all 98 tracks on the flash drive, then checking the spelling of all my selections.
Martha
Working as expected. After a large file transfer on a usb 3 port, it was a little warm, but not too bad. Faster transfer rates will result in higher temperatures. Having designed electronics for a career: if the parts inside are getting warm, the best way to get the heat out is using metal. With plastic, the part inside will be hotter and the outside of the plastic will be cooler. Also, for plastic at the same temperature as metal, the metal will feel hotter to the touch since it transmits heat to your finger faster. I suspect the metal case is simply doing its job keeping the parts inside cool, but people are used to plastic sticks.
Anja Durham
Copying files to them went quickly and they're very portable, even better if you attach them to a lanyard or a keychain. This is extremely well rated - you know you're not getting cheap memory that will get corrupted & lose all your files.
Phebe
It's a USB drive; they have pretty much become commodities. TBH I don't even know where this one is, or how long ago I lost it. I shop for these by storage capacity, known brands, and style. USB 3.0 was a bonus for faster transfer speeds.
Rohan Thomson
It functions well. My only problem is that it gets hot after only using for less than 30 mins.
Jill Mcphee
I used this flash drive for reinstalling windows before windows 10 made that very easy. It was a great tool for that, but was also easily recognized on every computer i needed it for, for other printing and whatnot.
Shivam Gough
No problems. Capacity as advertised. Arrived on time.
Briana
Great little flash drive. SanDisk has never let me down when it comes to memory cards and flash drives. I love the modern design and the compact size. For the price, you cannot get any better.
Calista Mcgill
The most thing I like this is the size which is not too big nor small. I did try the very small size from other branch which is hard to grab it, or some larger size which may prevent to insert to close by USB port. so far, I enjoy it.
Jai Calvert
I got the 128 GB version and it holds the right amount of stuff that I need. As a videographer, it's handy to have a place where I can dump everything and have a backup of each event. I highly recommend this product if you want something that is easy to use and is a great value for your money. This product is very sleek looking and I have no complaints in regard to the cosmetics of the device and in the actual use of the product.
Kirby Duffy
Makes a great boot drive for installing Linux Mint. Real nice form factor and easy to grasp for removal. The read speed is decent at 145mb/sec, but the write is slow at 25mb/sec. I wish they made the same form factor with higher read and write.
Wendy Zamora
Hey, it was a great deal and I snatched up a couple of them. Sure beats buying and shipping a 1tb spinning drive to sent a client 100GB worth of files. Probably will keep buying these as needed.
Zara Duncan
This drive is awesome!
Theon Pierce
I'm using this to store mp4 files. My transfer rate is fast with big file (3gb file transfers at 2mb per second). The drive is small and easy to take with you when you are going out. You can store anywhere such as purse, backpack, pocket, binder, and other places being that it's small. I would buy this again, in my humble opinion.
Hafsa Horner
I've bought several SanDisk products. They are all excellent in quality that I've never had any problems with them. For this particular one, the good thing is it has been pre-formatted to FAT32 which is good for both Windows and Mac. So, on either machine, you can just put it in and use, no need to go through the format process again.
Ronny Harrell
I'm rating it 4 stars for now as I've used it for just a day but it was working as advertised. Only 1 minor things though I didn't expect it to be so small.
Maksymilian
The compact design and material makes it feel very high quality. I'd expect this one to last just as long if not longer.
Ameena Trujillo
Small size, big capacity, fast, mine has had no problem betting hot.
Ariya Ford
Many reviews talk about the heat from this..and it does get warm, but I don't think that is a big deal.
Waleed Snider
The product works fine on Windows 8.1 and 10. No compatibility issues. I was skeptical about the advertised speed, but to my pleasant surprise (so far) it is great: 256GB for something below 7 min - I consider this good for my picture storage backup.
Conal Garza
Maybe they should add radiator fins to these big capacity flash drives. Worked fine, gets really warm, almost hot, when moving a biggish (70 GB or so). Otherwise, no complaint.
Diya Huynh
Works great with my MacBook Pro.
Wiktoria Horn
This work prefect for moving large files, though like people mentioned it does get hot sometimes….only thing I didn’t like was the cap being so tiny since the unit is small, it would be extremely easy to lose
Lorenzo
Let me start off by saying I have had no issues like what everybody has said in other reviews yes it gets warm but not hot so I'm not sure what they mean unless they have real delicate sensitive fingers. This device has worked to expectation for the purpose I use it for. It is way smaller then what I expected half the size of a regular flash drive but with great power.
Bobbie Alford
Great storage size and perfect portability size. Attached easily to my key ring and now I have a portable storage device that blends easily with my keys and take safely along with me
Kaleb Yang
Exactly what you think you are ordering and for a good price, can't believe I waited so long to upgrade my storage size because I was afraid I'd run into technical issues with a new drive.
Victoria
The drive works at the advertised speeds, but it does get pretty hot. Since there is bare metal on the sides, you tend to notice/feel the heat more. Just let the drive sit for bit, if you transferring a lot of data.
Janet Dixon
Plenty fast for what I use it for. Excellent pricing. Love it. Have bought a number of them thus far with no issues. Only thing better for just a smidge more moolah would be the Samsung BAR Plus.
Jaidan
The drive is extremely fast. Used the password protection and files were encrypted quickly with no problems. Only issue you have to run SanDisk SecureAccess to access program to enter password to open file. Program should open with request to enter password. Other than that no issues were noted.
Usman Briggs
You know what, it's been like 10 years since I've bought one of these things thanks to cloud services but it's a huge upgrade from my 8GB one.
Miles
Excellent flash drive, the read and wrote speeds are very quick and it’s USB 3.0 which is also a huge bonus, I’ve been using this 128gb drive for over a few weeks and I love it.
Joann
So many flash drives now aren't what they say they are for storage. If you're looking for one that is, this is it. Just wrote the review to help others from getting ripped off, like I have been repeatedly...
Sarah-Louise Lane
This little device is the perfect way to carry information when traveling or from one house to another. It's easy and fits into a pocket. So convenient.
Khadeeja
Was looking for a long time for a good small storage and this is just the best fit! Works perfect with no issues and fast data transfer as well
Masuma Watt
Works great AFTER reformatting to NTSF to allow large (5Gb) movie file sizes. Got this drive for a DVD portable player BUT that machine only works up to 32Gb, ho well still works great as a backup drive.
Stacie
These USB thumb drives are easy to use. They are small and convenient. The transfer speed is very good. I believe these are rated as USB 3 which means much faster transfer speeds. So far all of the drives have been reliable. I would recommend these USB thumb drives to anyone.
Norma
It gets hot to the touch after a few minutes.
Nishat Mccann
Cool and great working thumb drive. Very nice security software loaded onto the drive, you can remove it. Wow small, easy to conseal and very fast transfer speeds.
Ishika
This flash drive offers relatively high storage capacity and a fast 3.0 data transfer rate at a reasonable price. It has worked flawlessly with every device I have plugged it into. Can’t ask for much more than that.
Flynn Shelton
Came as advertised. USB connection was snug, and during a very long hard drive backup, it did get pretty warm, but not too hot to touch. Bought it for my wife to backup her documents and pictures, and so far so good.
Grover Begum
I was very happy with this because I was able to do exactly what I needed to do and you can reuse it for other things and go over what you had on there’d
Harvir
I've ordered several of these in different capacities. They're small, easy to handle, and really make using a couple of them side by side on the laptop a breeze. Their slim size makes side-by-side use very easy. And the ergonomics are such that inserting and removing is a breeze.
Mimi Jackson
This drive is very fast compared to the ones I bought 2-3 years ago. I highly recommend it, but buy with higher storage capacity.
Archie
The product works fine. I have transferred files to and from the drive. Unfortunately I've lost it twice. It is so small. I know it is in the house somewhere.
Eryn Zavala
Excellent quality at a good price. I used it on my smart tv for pause on live tv. Formatted quickly and works perfectly.
Shane
these are a good brand , very small in size , fastest speed =3.0, metal casing instead of plastic. good deal , good price,
Rosalie Markham
This flash drive works great, but it gets quite hot very quickly. Don't know if that is normal for a drive with a metal case. So far so good, though.
Alyx Connolly
It’s very easy to use and works well. It is small in size, which is a plus, unless you are likely to lose things.
Alister Spears
Windows 11 boot drive was about 4gb but recommends 8gb on Microsoft Support. This worked perfectly.
Arabella Farrell
Great looking and working thumb drive I bought two, so we could back up videos on our cell phones.
Theo Smith
Got this one to install multiple computers and perform tech support for my company, it has plenty of space for windows (boot) and other corporate approved software like office, browsers, and our custom made software.
Azeem Pitt
Works great as is supposed to be, my last name brand drive was crap out of the box and would constantly disconnect and reconnect randomly and pop up the drive files window, so far no issue with these.
Meghan
Good and no complaint with write speed and read speed. Great value in that regard. As for portability, take care, because the loop is just glued black plastic. The big S brand uses a solid aluminum loop, FYI. Still happy with the value and quality.
Gracie-Mae Collier
Good quality: good function easy to use, worked as expected. received on time and in excellent condition.
Naseem
Best value for your money.
Honey
It worked great for what I needed it for! Backing up photos and using as a boot drive.
Amanpreet Reeve
I don't have any complain about this flash drive. The speed is good, lot of space and good price.
Humaira
This usb drive came in and was as described. Worked well first time and was easy to format and use. Very quick transfer speeds and all.
Arianna
It is fast and at both read and write speed.
Sharmin Fellows
Plug it in the laptop n transfered files quickly.. so far no issues..
Carwyn Cotton
Overall happy. Never had any issues using these. I don't know if it writes/reads as advertised. But since I don't use it much it doesn't matter to me.
Thierry
Works as expected but it is very small. This makes it quite difficult to connect to your device and means you need to add a large tag so as not to lose it...
Meerab
This just is stated in the description.
Bartosz Mcgrath
Good quality
Zayan Mccallum
Thank you all received. worthy and responsible seller 5 +.
