Review: 64GB version excellent for Linux installations - Rev 2/9/22 The 64GB version of this drive, and of the Sandisk Ultra-FIT, are excellent for creating and running encrypted Linux installations, which I use on "secure" mini-PCs. [1] The suitability of a particular type of drive for this purpose is due to the specifics of its implementation, and the only way to determine whether it's suitable is to try it. Smaller versions might also work well, but larger drives tend to have faster write-speeds. I decided to try an Ultra Luxe to avoid the plastic connector-shroud on the Ultra-FIT, which I've worn out with frequent plugging/unplugging, so that the bottom of the shroud came off, but the drive still worked fine, although caps don't stay put without tape. But there are various ways to avoid excessive plugging and unplugging, such as leaving the drive plugged into a "port protector" (an extender-adapter), although this defeats the purpose of the stubby case, which is to allow the drive to be plugged into a port without sticking out and creating a risk of damaging the drive or port as a result of hitting the drive. If you're using the drive to transfer data between PCs, you can use a KM switch such as a CKLau-64H2ua with a switched USB port to switch the drive between PCs. ` The fit is snug, but I wouldn't call it tight (perhaps there's some variation between units), and the drive I received didn't run particularly warm. How hot a drive runs seems to depend on the particular unit, the PC being used, and other factors. If a particular unit runs very hot, it might be due to an internal component failure. I have a 32GB Ultra-FIT which runs hot, which I used for an installation, and the installation developed problems soon after I started using it, indicating drive failure. SSDs provide a means of monitoring their temperature, and high temperature is considered to be an indication of imminent failure. Sandisk drives have a five-year warranty, but since failure is rare, I'd rather toss a $10 flash drive than to get it replaced. Another concern with a drive that runs hot is excessive power consumption, which is mainly a problem when using such a drive with battery-powered devices. But I suppose that the chips are tested for such things as excessive power consumption at the wafer level, and would never be used for a drive if they exceed the limit. But this can't predict whether a chip will fail after a short while, which is typically when they fail - if they last a short while, they'll last a long time, assuming that they aren't subjected to excessive voltages. When using a drive for storage on a Linux PC, it should be formatted in a Linux format (EXT4) for best write-speed. Encryption reduces write-speed, although this depends on how much processing-power the PC has. Notes [1] "Secure" by my definition - not NSA-spec, but NSA-proof, i.e. no internet connection, internal storage, or wireless circuitry, including in keyboards, monitors, printers, or KM switches, which switch keyboards and monitors between PCs. I use a Gigabyte mini-PC which I got from desertcart for about $180 including 8GB of DRAM as my "secure" PC, and it has all the power I need. It's nice not having to worry about security vs. the Thought Police (a dirty unconstitutional NSA black-op exposed by Snowden, who has apparently been exiled for life).
Review: Excellent USB key - There's not much to say; it's a fast USB stick with good storage capacity. It also has a sturdy design so it can live happily on my keychain without the key attachment point breaking.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the write speed of this drive?**
A: Sustained write speeds of about 30MB/s on Windows 10 (20H2), I am reading my Kingston React Plus (300 MB/s) around 130MB/s on the same port.

**Q: Does this have an activity indicator light?**
A: It does not.  Inam veryhappy with it, though.

**Q: Can this USB key be password protected?**
A: SanDisk's proprietary software is not required to encrypt (password protect) this USB drive. In fact, you're better off using something more ubiquitous such as BitLocker, which is built into the OS, and also accessible on Linux (and i think Mac, but I never use that).

There's nothing special about this drive that requires using their proprietary software.

**Q: Can I use this on my smart tv?**
A: Yes on most Smart TVs

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tiny, fast and reliable
*by N***H on May 7, 2023*

Does not disappoint in speed and reliability, and it's built quite nice. It get's get hot while in use, so don't hold on to it too long when removing it from your USB port. It cooldown in seconds, but I recommend using a keyring for better grip and comfort.
