Good drive for the money
When purchasing flash drives I try to read the reviews and understand what I'm getting into. Unfortunately, this one had no reviews, but was such a good deal, I decided to purchase it anyway. I have read about fake usb flash devices being sold (mainly on ebay but also on amazon), so I was a bit wary. Happily, this device is as advertised: I ran a full f3 test (this is the linux equivalent to h2testw) to determine the true capacity - it really is 64 GB and operates at USB 2.0 speeds (ubuntu disk utility benchmark reports average read rate of 35.8 MB/s and write rate of 3.0 MB/s). Pros: - good price (approx $1 per GB) - full 64 GB of storage in very small package - trusted SanDisk name - validates as true 64GB USB 2.0 device - small metal rod on back for connecting to key chain - BoBoTech shipped quickly Cons: - USB 2 is a bit slow (but USB3 devices are WAY more expensive) - plastic shell seems a bit flimsy (this hasn't been a problem on my smaller 16GB Cruzer) - 1/8" wider on each side from the connector - very tight fit next to power connector on my laptop Overall, I would recommend this drive if you are looking for a large capacity thumb drive and can live with USB 2 transfer speeds.
