SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO USB 3.2 Solid State Flash Drive – SDCZ880-128G-GAM46

I paid for 1 TERABYTE. I need to use 1 TERABYTE. Why on Earth does the drive only actually come wih 920 GB? And, WHY ARE CUSTOMERS NOT INFORMED? *Eighty gigabytes* is an enormous amount of storage to lose.Read more

I recently bought this to replace another Sandisk 128 GB flash drive which appears to suddenly show errors of drive being inaccessible (still have data on it and researching ways to recover the data atleast). Got Sandisk again as they still seemed to be on top of the list for reliability. The issue I noticed when trying to write on it, it appeared to be excessively hot to touch within just couple of minutes of use, so decided to use my infra red temperature reader and indicator showed surface temperatures of 104.5 F consistently much above the max 95F operating temperature listed. The bigger problem I have now is I cant even return the device for the sensitive data I already have on it now and since it uses AES 128 encryption (and not the new defacto-standard now of AES 256) so as a Security professional I understand the risk and since I have also read some known issues where the drive may go into write protect mode when using some desensitization tools so I have to absorb the loss now, buy another and securely dispose this one or wait for it to just fail one day (hopefully before damaging the port on my laptop). Not happy about the trouble I have to take for the price I paid.Read more

I purchased this encrypting thumb to backup sensitive files from my PC hard drive in case of crash. I moved my files but discovered during setup that I had to *PURCHASE THE UPGRADE* -OF $15 RIPOFF DOLLARS- if I wanted to use the drive across platforms or other PC’s. The thumb is useless if your computer crashes because it will not work on any other computer to retrieve the lost files. No where in the advertising does it mention payment for upgrade. I have not owned the drive long enough to rate it’s performance. BUT I SURE FEEL BURNED… I feel like a chicken who’s been PLUCKED- don’t let SanDisk PLUCK you. SanDisk -just another player- and champion of the RIPPOFF culture.Read more

This is not a cheap device. It is actually the most expensive one I’ve seen, however it feels really sturdy and the most important issue for me, is the security of my data. The data is encrypted and I feel this feature put me at ease.Read more

A review of Sandisk Extreme Pro 3.2 USB (256 GB) indicates that the relatively new entry does shine well in its read capabilities although as others have noted it does not write too fast! I compared its performance on two platforms. On the PC side I used a Dell Latitude Win 7 Pro 64 which was using a PCI express card to provide USB 3.0 port performance (barely so) vs a Macbook Pro running Mojave and built in USB 3 ports. Essentially, the sandisk was working in a less than ideal (speedwise) enviroment and so the values presented are an underestimate. On a full-steam, newer computer and port, it is expected to perform even faster, although probably with the same relative lag in the speed when writing to the flash drive than when reading data. The attached data images are of data transfer rates using ATTO software for the PC with sandisk formatted as NTFS (as received from factory). On the Mac, I formatted it using APFS which is claimed to be better optimized for USB and other external drives than the older Apple formats. Diskmark for Mac was used for speed testing. In addition to the screen-shot, the values have been provided in an excel table for clarity. The performance of Sandisk on the Mac was way better than the Lexmark (untitled) 16GB, Kingston 64GB (weakest performer), Crucial BX 500 SSD used as a USB drive in a UGreen SATA-USB case, Samsung T3 (all were USB 3 drives). Samsung was almost as fast as the Sandisk in sequential read and write performance. Sandisk was a lot slower in the random read performance and slightly slower in the write as well. The crucial SSD was slower than Sandisk and Samsung (both somewhat older generation compared to the new Sandisk stick), but faster than sandisk and samsung in the random write performance. The 3.2 Sandisk drive did not get hot even after a couple of hours of use including read-write testing and using software with lots of reads and write, creating backups (prolonged reading and writing) but just a little warm which is a good sign! Overall, Sandisk in my judgment gets four stars (maybe 4.5 if possible) but gets half a star less because of its heftier price and less than advertised performance. It must be noted that on a faster optimized newer computer system and upgraded port it might perform better, particularly if the improvement is across the board in all read and write functions. On the PC platform it is performing better than traditional USB 3 flash drives in my testing.Read more

bought this one mainly for recovery software turns out software is only good for 1 year cheaper sandisks had 2 or 4 years but tis one didn’t specified any limit i assume u get the full software since paying double the others!! sandisk if there’s is time limit make sure put that on description other wise it is a scamRead more

Si eres Dj y necesitas una buena Usb, esta es la indicada, me pasé 4500 canciones de Recordbox a la Extreme Pro en menos de 7 minutos, cuando con otras Usb’s supuestamente 3.1 me estaban exportando 400 canciones como en una hora, 100% recomendada, me sorprendió de másRead more
