(with usb2or3 port but not benchmark tests or supplier quotes) thanks.** A: 18mb/s i tested this 32gb, that's why its not listed and just says 15x usb 2. They get very hot, they work on the device im using for about 2 years when contacts are worn out after plug in and out few times a week random. Sadly the device i use cannot use more than 32gb/s else i would not buy them **Q: The 128gb scandisk usb3 clip on: for the keychain. Is this metal or plastic? Its a bit difficult to tell from the picture.** A: Item = 'SanDisk Ultra Flair 128 GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive'. The handle is plastic. Overall, the drive is pretty-small & doesn't look too hardy to me, so I personally wouldn't put it in a keyring (at least, not continuously). **Q: Bought 64gb. but ony 57.2gb available. How is it acceptable? Isn't this false advertising? 7gb lower than the advertised capacity.** A: Dear Amazon Customer, I am Chris from SanDisk® Customer Care. I understand that you would like to understand why the actual capacity of your 64GB USB appears to be less. A portion of the total capacity is used to store certain functions including optimizations of the memory that support performance and endurance and therefore is not available for user storage. This is disclosed on our packaging and marketing materials when you see the statement "Actual user storage less." As a leader in flash storage technology, SanDisk offers multiple products at different speeds and capacities to address a variety of consumer needs. To provide the optimum product for you, we're continuously improving and updating our technology, products, firmware, and design. Continual improvements and updates are made to our product (both new products and existing product lines) and can include changes to the basic file structure, formatting and other functions. These optimizations may result in variances as to the amount of memory space that is available for user storage, but are essential to performance and endurance of the products. https://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/46 If you require more information, please do not hesitate to contact us at english_support@sandisk.com quoting the day you have posted your comment.

Regards, Chris SanDisk Customer Care **Q: Is this compatible with windows 10 and when you first insert it into the USB do you need to do anything e.g formatting etc. ?** A: Dear Eva, My name is Shira from SanDisk Customer Care. I would like to inform you that the drive should be working fine with Windows 10. Also, it is preformatted and ready for use immediately.

Speed isn't too bad and I've not had any problems with them yet. My oldest one would be 3 years old and it's working great. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product *by R***B on 12 September 2025* I used this drive to save and back up all my iPhone photos (with a Lightning adapter), and it worked great. The 256GB capacity is plenty for large photo and video libraries, and transfer speeds are noticeably faster than standard USB 2.0 sticks. I like the sleek metal casing, though it can get warm during heavy transfers. Password protection is a nice extra, but I mainly value the reliability and speed. Pros: • Large 256GB capacity, perfect for photos/videos • Fast transfer speeds (up to 150 MB/s) • Durable, sleek metal design • Password protection option Cons: • Can heat up during long transfers • No cap or cover, so the connector is exposed Overall, a fast, durable, and dependable USB stick — great for backups and everyday use. ★★★★★ ## Frequently Bought Together - SanDisk 256GB Ultra Flair USB 3.0 Flash Drive - SDCZ73-256G-G46, black - Seagate Portable 2TB External Hard Drive HDD — USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, PlayStation, & Xbox -1-Year Rescue Service (STGX2000400) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/48149869-sandisk-ultra-flair-usb-type-a-flash-drive-256gb-usb](https://www.desertcart.is/products/48149869-sandisk-ultra-flair-usb-type-a-flash-drive-256gb-usb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-07-22*
