SanDisk 512GB Cruzer Ultra Fit USB 3.1 Flash Drive

I use a sync program to backup files for current projects onto several of these at preset intervals (10 minutes, one hour, and one day) so I always have a backup that I can detach and store away quickly. Plus, if I have overwritten a file by mistake, I have three safety nets I can use to backtrack.

Practically tripled the storage amount of my Dell laptop, I moved there many directories and clear 60 GB fro other usages

I bought this drive in December, 2021 but didn't open the package or begin to use it until October, 2022. Immediately, there were problems: The drive simply quits working during file transfers that last more than a few seconds. It will disconnect and the transfer gets interrupted, which means I need to cancel the file copy process and start again. This has been happening for months, and I don't trust the drive not to fail, so I've submitted it to SanDisk (Western Digital) for an RMA. Fortunately it has a 5 year warranty. Unlike prior generations of this type of drive, it feels light, flimsy, and cheap, with a plastic rather than a metal housing around the USB port. I'm very disappointed in the quality of this product and if I had known how badly it would turn out, I wouldn't have bought it, and certainly won't buy another one.

Excellent flash drive I use as a back-up device. Only downfall is it does not come with a cap or case to keep it safe and clean.

Name brands such as SanDisk tend to be more reliable than cheaper off or unknown brands. One does not want to trust your valuable data to an unreliable USB drive

Ever since Apple Inc. has decided to replace iTunes with that primitive Apple Music app disaster I started using Windows devices to run iTunes. The irony. . . This drive works perfectly for hosting my iTunes library, custom equalizer settings for every song, and playlists for every occasion. In the Apple Music app you can no longer set custom EQ for every song the way you still can do it in iTunes under Windows. When you run a four-thousand-Watt sound rig capable of 137dB, being able to readily equalize each and every track is of critical importance. Some songs can sound dangerously harsh and aggressive without proper EQ. You don't want your audience to suddenly bleed out of their ears! No latency and no issues of any kind with this drive. It works flawlessly with 64-bit Windows 11. I have it formatted to the NTFS file system as opposed to FAT. Custom equalizer settings for each song are flawlessly loaded every time, sound quality is as good as ever, and the physically small drive is almost too small to notice. I am 100% happy with it.
