SANDISK 512GB Ultra Luxe USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive - SDCZ74-512G-GAM46

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.

Wow! I didnt realize it was a metal case. This drive is beautiful. I noticed it is a little too tight in the USB-a slot. I really had to press it in...this almost lost it a star. But then I put some 800 GB of videos onto the drive and it took less than an hour to transfer. And it was attached to my M4 Mac Mini via a dock, so an hour is probably slower than it would have been if connected directly. Im just so impressed!

Ya, read speed is fast, but nobody really cares about that. Write speed is slow, but I think that's really just based on usb 3.2; usb 3.0 is almost unusable for large writes. As the tech gets better write speeds will increase. It gets hot, but still works, and cools down quickly. For now, this is about as good as you can get.

The SanDisk 512GB Ultra Luxe USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive impresses with its compact size and robust metal design, offering superior durability over plastic alternatives. Its sleek, premium feel makes it a reliable choice for daily use. With fast data transfer speeds and ample storage, it's perfect for managing large files effortlessly. Highly recommended!

I purchased this storage drive strictly for the purpose of recording content directly from my Xbox Series X/S - here's my take: Elevate your file storage experience with the SanDisk 512GB Ultra Luxe USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive, boasting an elegant, full cast metal design.

I'm not using this feature, but would be helpful for this sensitive items ;) The bottom line: this is a premium product, and is definitely priced that way. You can find “cheaper” options. For what my end goal is, producing high quality content, having this piece of equipment being of trustworthy build and quality was important to me. The issue of it being difficult to insert into the devices I've used it with is a bit of a detractors, but I'm careful as to not force it and damage anything.

Works great for programming

actual writing speeds up 240MB in burst.

Great drive. Transfers are fast

livré ecrasée donc inutilisable....inadmissible...

Très pratique et rapide. Elle chauffe effectivement mais se refroidit vite lorsqu’elle est déconnectée

Pendrives feitos em metal são os melhores e maís resistentes.
