Most people leaving comments on Amazon that their USB 3.0 flash drive is slow is because they either put it in a 2.0 port or don't have their usb 3.0 driver installed or working.
Thanks for the tip :)
As IT tech I've run into this many times especially on slightly dated OEM machines with Windows 7 that can heavily rely on the USB 3.0 driver.
is there a software that you can install for security. I mean a passcode that only I can use to access the information on the SanDisk this drive?
Sandisk includes this type of software with most of their flash drives...
Camdex thanks for the reply. I try to do everything with my cell phone. but I guess I have to download the software from the my laptop. because there are some private photos that I don't want anyone that has access to besides myself
Great review, thanks a lot. I've decided to buy it :)
+Sabeel M Hey thanks - it's a great little flash drive. Especially for the price.
Isn't there supposed to be some kind of light or flashing light to let you know it's communicating with the PC?
A very nice and precise video. Thanks!
Hey Girish, many thanks for watching and leaving me with a feedback. I really appreciate it :) Have a great day.
Great review dude, I've decided to buy it, nice flash drive and nice price :)
Bhai pls reply ..how is it..means heating problem,Speed???
Pls bhai,🙏🙏
I did and it's sloooow
Hey man great video!!
Thanks for watching. Appreciate it! Have a good day.
I'm a little bit late to comment on this video but I really like and amazed how you try your best to help and reply every comment on this video. You're being really helpfull sir. You deserve to get more views/subscribers. The video content/review also really clear and helpfull. I hope you become one of the successfull youtuber in the future ☺️ Sorry for bad english, not my first language.
-Your subscriber 😁
Hi there. Thanks for such a nice supportive comment. Doesn’t matter how old the video is. I always feel like it’s only courtesy to reply to everyone if they have spent time watching my video and writing something. Seems rather rude just to ignore someone.
Thanks again.
Joe Lam I see, thank you for helping people and have a nice day sir :)
@@scyxrazor473 You too, thanks. :)
Hey please share the link of your desktop wallpaper :D (HD if possible)
Also good review! Cheers 🍻
Hi thanks for watching for my video. I made that wallpaper myself, that was back in 2015. I don't think I have that file anymore though. 😅
Hi. I looked through my drive. But I can’t find it anymore. Sorry.
You can't encrypt it on a mac without downloading the software that they tell you to on the little package it comes in. So I did that, then when i tried to download the software on my computer it says it can't download it but doesn't tell me why..like wow whats going on. I want my money back but lost the receipt
Got the link for the software? I haven’t tried it before.
Does you sandisk ultra lights blue led upon inserted? Mine blinks blue light when inserted even though im not copying files or using it. Is it normal?
It's normal. When there's activity the light will blink. The thing is even if YOU are not using it, its' likely that the computer is accessing it every now and then when it does background stuff automatically.
Good review thanks! You forgot to mention there is no activity LED.
Isn’t there? Thought it did flash when activity? It’s pulsing when blue when connected?
That is why I can here, to see if there is an activity LED. A close examination of the video suggests there is an activity LED as JL mentions in his reply to you but it definitely should have been pointed out in the review as these LEDs are now uncommon. A thumbs down for the video as the review missed an important distinguishing feature. A thumbs up for Enuf Ots for asking the question!
Does this work with ps4. Like can I transfer the game saves from windows to ps4 or ps4 to windows
Is there such a feature on the ps4? Didn’t know you can transfer save files between the console and a computer?
Wait how comes mines have the black thing inside of the USB flash drive? It has 4 holes.
+AlexGaming YT Sorry what black thing? The actual USB connector? if its not blue, that means its a USB2 version, only the blue one is USB3.0. Unless I'm completely misunderstanding what you are talking about?
Hi! I bought this USB couple of days before working good but before formatting and after formatting its showing less space 28.9 GB of 32 GB. Can you tell me please is it normal or not?
Waiting for your reply.
+Bilal Malik Hi, formatted actual capacity is always less than the indicated space. The extra remaining space is used to store directory files so the USB stick knows where the files are stored on the flash drive. Imagine the 28.9 is purely your own data, the rest 3.1 gb is the index telling the computer where each file is stored on the flash drive. Does that make sense?
+Media6D Thanks i got it.
Bilal Malik Sweet :)
+Media6D Thanks
How do you tell if the usb is fake?
Sandisk has a Serial Number written over products, call Sandisk support from your mobile or visit their site and do a chat and tell them to verify that the pendrive is fake or original, they will ask the SERIAL NO , tell them and they will confirm it. Long process but worthy if your product is not looking original or behaving weirdly.
I can't slide it to get it out for the life of me. It's supposed to have some safety mechanism?
Hi there! Not that I’m aware off. But I usually give it a slight pinch with the thumb and index finger to give me a better grip while pushing up. Maybe there is a small catch? See if that works?
Nice Benchmark about SanDisk Ultra 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive
Thanks for checking out my video. 👍🏻
@@JoeLamOfficial welcome
Hello .. cuál es la diferencia entre cruze glide y flash drive ?
Hola. Estoy usando Google Translate. Ninguna diferencia. Cruze solo el nombre, creo. Importante solo para verificar si USB 2.0 o USB 3.0 y capacidad.
Will it work on a ps4 only to transfer videos files from ps4 into laptop?
It’s just a USB drive. Should work fine.
support.playstation.com/s/article/Save-and-Share-PS4-Gameplay-Videos?language=en_US
Hello, is there a led lamp flashing on it?
Yes there is. :)
why did you format the it at the beginning?
Usually it's preformatted to NTFS or FAT which is a windows format. Since I'm on a mac. I had to change it to MacOS_extended. Also to make sure it's clean before I do the test.
I bought mine couple weeks ago and once i decided to use it, I noticed some sandisk files so I formatted it to clear it up 100%. When i started copying files, it said it is write protected :( what do i do now?
windows or mac?
Joe Lam windows 7 ultimate 64bit, I remember those files are named sandisksecureaccess. I thought they were junk files and proceeded to just format it. It is brandnew
If you do full format, it should erase everything including the Sandisk preloaded softwares?
Joe Lam That's the problem sir. When I try to format it, it says it can't because of write protection. It prevents any type of deleting and transfer of data because it is encrypted. I went to sandisk website to ask. I hope I get an answer from them too. :(
That is strange. Have you got any files on there? If you have, check them under properties and see if any files are locked.
is the drive still working? is it good a year later?
Still works! I use it in my car with my SONY headunit, loaded with videos to watch. No issues.
Hey i am a little worried can u help
Will it work with windows 10
Then only i can buy it or my money could get wasted
It's not Windows that's the question. It's your hardware, laptop or desktop. It depends if the hardware supports 3.0 USB. Even if it doesn't support the full speed. It's backward compatible with USB 2.0 so it'll work 100%, not at the full speed. But it's future proofed if you upgrade your computer.
Thanks i understood but i think my laptop will support it as it has an internal memory of 256 gb and intel hd graphics also with i3 and its the dell inspiron
Sandeep Mahendra Just look at your USB port on your computer. Does it have a blue connection? If its blue - that means its USB3.0
what's the name of the application that he used?
+Aron Rivera itunes.apple.com/us/app/blackmagic-disk-speed-test/id425264550?mt=12
hey brother if we connect this pen drive to phone with type c otg, what speed will we get? 2.0 speed or 3.0 speed?? can you please test
Hi, it really depends what phone you have? If it’s not USB3.0 compatible, it will still work of course. Only a little slower.
@@JoeLamOfficial usb 3.0 port only available in some flagship phones like rog phones and other
@@JoeLamOfficial i have poco m2 pro which has 2.0 usb port and almost every phones has 2.0 port
In that case, it will just work at the USB2.0 max speed. Even if this UBS is 3.0.
32gb or 64gb for my laptop ? which 1 should i get ?
Surely that depends entirely on your own needs??? No difference in performance.
I got 128
what are the prices of each? if the 64gb is only a couple of dollars extra then get that.
Could this work if you put games on it? I know someone who is really low on storage but can’t afford other higher cost stuff
Depends really, what game, console or PC. It probably will work but it's not as fast as a proper SSD or M.2 drive for example. Will it work? Yes but it might be slow, but again depends how big the files are.
@@JoeLamOfficial alright thx, that’ll probably work then, this guy used to play games at like 5 FPS lol
@@orcabeast8006 That is no longer called a game, but a PowerPoint presentation. lol 🤣
@@JoeLamOfficial I’m exaggerating but basically lol! I remember he sent me a video and I was so confused because how low the fps was
@@orcabeast8006 lol well at least it won’t take much to upgrade if it’s that bad
Do you need to install an app for this flash drive to work?
No. Just Format in Windows or Mac. It’ll work just fine :)
@@JoeLamOfficial Thanks
No problem bud :)
Can I formated in FAT? (not FAT32)
Hi I use Mac and it is possible. FAT.
is this flash drive has an light indicator?
Yes there is.
Do you have an LED indicator blinking?
Yes, blue light flashing as you can see in the video.
Mine doesn't blinks! Works perfectly but I don't know why the led does not switch on... :'''''(
As long it works?
I bought a pair of them yesterday in Mediamarkt to play in Pioneer CDJS. Connected them to my computer, I copied lots of music...and they don't blink! Nor a sad touch...What a sh... :(
Mine flashes when plugged in. But then, why does it matter? As long as it works?
Can you download stuff like Kali Linux/ games onto this and run them off the the usb
Hi Andrew. Sure. A USB is a USB. depends on the OS. looking at their website says “Live
Image to run Kali Linux without installing it and it is perfect for running off a USB stick.
You are able to install Kali Linux in its default configuration from this image but you will not be able to choose between desktop environments or to specify additional packages to install.”
Sounds fine to me.
Joe Lam so if I take the downloaded the os onto the usb and plug it into another laptop will it still work
Yes but you need to make it a bootable USB first. Download Kali ISO file and run it through tool like these www.howtogeek.com/127377/the-best-free-tools-for-creating-a-bootable-windows-or-linux-usb-drive/
Sorry if you already know this.
Read the instructions www.kali.org/docs/installation/
Joe Lam no I am new to computers and this just cleared everything up for me thank you so much! I’m subscribing 👍
it will be faster than ultra flair??
Based on SanDisk spec sheet, Flair is quicker. Rated at 150Mb/s vs 100Mb/s for the Ultra. But real life wouldn't make a huge difference I reckon.
My Sandisk Ultra 32gb usb 3.0 heats up too quickly, Is that normal or else a defective piece?
As long as its not super hot ,then its fine that it does get a little warm.
Super hot, Do you mean that temperatures above 45 deg cel or 113 deg F?
Because the company says the operating temperature is between 0-45 deg C is normal. I want ur reply soon because I need to claim for replacement if its a Defective.
Vivek P That sounds way too hot. I think there's something wrong. Sure its not a fake or something? Shouldn't get that hot. What do you use it for?
Yep, the product code in the pendrive is original and I verified in the official sandisk website while registering my purchase and I even contacted the customer service they responded well conforming it as genuine. I widely use it for watching movies in laptop, pc and Smart TV's that's it. But one thing notable is it soon cools down to normal temperature as soon as i pluck it off down. Even though the performance is quite very well.
Vivek P It sounds very hot, I never had it run that hot. Question. How hot is your place, ambient, temperature, weather? I find that room temperature can affect electronic devices quite significantly.
Thank you!
Thank you for watching instead. 😉
Excuse me I bought the same thing and you have like about 31.99 gb available room and i have 28 gb. Even It says It is 32 gb? Is it normal or not? By the way not only the available room is 28gb the capacity also is 28gb.
Hi. This is normal. Every drive has to have head room for the index and file system. It will always rob some actual storage space. It’s normal for any storage drives. Hard drives. SSD or thumb drives.
Can u put it in your ps4 so you can put games on it
Hi Kay, if you mean this support.playstation.com/s/article/Manage-PS4-Saved-Data-on-USB-Storage?language=en_US, then yes. It should work.
What is reading speed per second Mbps
Around 140 MBps. 3:06
is it fake when they sell it for 20$-30$ at the supermarket???
Probably not, they are very cheap now days.
i got mine for $27, and it works pretty fast. reputable supermarkets are unlikely to sell fakes like that
I got mine for 10$ 🤣
(64 gb, i bought it at Sandisk official store)
it works in windows 10?
Yes, just need format it before using it.
I need something to run LibreElec.This will be more than enough. Got a 32GB one here in Philippines for $6.
Great price! Thankfully memory chips are getting more and more affordable these days. Thanks for checking out my video by the way. 🙋🏻♂️
I bought a Scan Disk Cruzer Glide 32 GB Drive. It only has 2.38 MB of total Storage! WTF???
Formatted? Is it possible that it’s a fake? 🙁
I bought the 32Gb version simply to make a recovery disc for my laptop, so I'm in no need of super speeds. For 9 dollars US, that's just fine.
Awesome. That's what I usually use it for. Flash it for ISO boot drives. :)
As demand rises for higher gigs. It makes more sense and cheaper for them to mass produce higher capacities these days and phase out lower gigs.
Does it work with windows 10
Of course. Should work straight out the box. Or format it to NTFS.
Is there any led indicator?
Hi. Yes there’s a flashing blue LED by the sliding mechanism.
@@JoeLamOfficial New versions are not comes with that. Is the USB 3.0 PORT tip got heated?
I see. Mine does. I guess they removed it. Yes it does get warm when used heavily.
Can u use this to play games
Probably Minesweeper. But no way is it quick enough to load games I reckon.
MY HK FEET oh ok
You should get a M.2 SSD in a portable case if you want to play games from the drive.
Is this the new gen or old gen usb drive ?? Thanks
Hi there. Mines 5 years old but looking at the Amazon page, it still looks very similar. No idea if they have changed any of the internals or not. amzn.to/35LyOLg
I'm indian bro nice video keep it up 😊
Thanks bro for the support. Appreciate it 🙏🏼
does it supports OTG?
That's down to the device and cable adapter isn't it?
Of course, 👍
Then this should work just fine :)
i hate it on ur keychain the usb comes out doesnt lock in
That's true, but does it side out that easily?
if works fast for you in tests because you used a empty drive , try to use like 80% of the space and do the speed test again , you will see what price of crap you got .
I wouldn't call it a piece of crap considering the price. It's never going to be lightning fast for a USB thumb drive. You get what you pay for.
I am calling piece of shit because they lie about speeds they advertise
I suppose. Well synthetic tests vs real world is usually different.
not really , when you do small test only begging of the NAND used , there is full speed tests like program will write data from 0-100% of the NAND , it will take time to write 32GB , then you run test again and rewrite data and compare speeds , this is a proper way to do full test . for example = i.imgur.com/XomzNqu.png
"41Mb/s write speed"? as in 41Megabits per second?
41 Megabytes (as in 328 Megabits per second).
I can’t slide it up
Push!
32GB version. Write 30MB/s but after 700MB pendrive is hot and writing 10-12MB/s CRAP.
Can't expect too much from a budget little pen drive. Want speed? Go for something that's SSD based.
After 2 days of use goes to read only mode.
That’s weird. Tried formatting? Full?Locked?
@@JoeLamOfficial Not weird, it is "safe mode" to protect your data when memory is near and of its life. Only problem is that this "safe mode" is triggered randomly. I lost receipt and I cannot return it now. I have heard it from lots of people, but only after it happened to me.
Not experienced it. But then can’t you just delete or format it to make it writable again?
@@JoeLamOfficial No, once it is switched to read only mode it is read only forever. Since you cannot write you cannot format. It is design flaw, and SandDisk did not pull bad units from market so ... better to stay away from SanDisk Ultra USB-s, or make sure to keep your receipt.
Thanks for sharing this info. Never knew this problem existed until you mentioned it. I did some digging and that seems to be the case. Even though other TH-cam videos seem to say it’s fixable but looking at what you said and even official sandisk statements. I don’t think it’s possible to fix, right? :/
I got a Fake usb With a smaller bottum style where the blue Things is for USB 3.0
Fake from? Refund it?
@@JoeLamOfficial a Technik marcet named Saturn
Does it work?
@@JoeLamOfficial yeah but after one Minute the type rate ging down from 40 to 17mb and ist hot
That’s not very good. Sounds more like USB2 speed.
Disk utility's only for Apple not window
I have this model but it overheats a lot
Do you live in a hot country? When you say overheat,, what happens? I've never experienced it before.
The USB Connector’s metal heats up every time I have it in for more than 1 min and i live in the northeast
@@Watrmeln does it still work though? What temperature are we talking about?
We talking like as hot as a metal playground on a 80 degree day (Fahrenheit) and yes it still works as intended
@@Watrmeln I guess if it still works then it's okay? I mean many computer components get quite hot, most laptops are too hot to touch but the still continue to function.
Speed drops down from 40 mbps to around 8 mbps when i send huge files larger than 1 gb.
Im gonna return this crap
Windows/Mac? Genuine copy? USB port speed, 2.0, 3.0? Faulty? As you saw on my synthetic and real world test with a 9.40Gb file transfer test, it averaged 41Mb/s. I'm not sponsored by Sandisk. I bought mine with my own money. Just trying to figure out why yours would be that slow. Doesn't sound right to me.
@@JoeLamOfficial windows genuine usb 3.0 port
i7 processor....
@@JoeLamOfficial i bought it from flipkart
Strange. Sometimes does fluctuate but as mentioned. Based on mine calculation it averaged 40Mb/s. Trying another brand or another model?
@@JoeLamOfficial it always fluctuate....many users has experienced the same when i read the review
I actually purchased this flash drive a few weeks ago and I am very dissapointed in the quality. First of all it's very cheaply made, but that wasn't nearly the biggest issue when I recieved it. It was when I actually slotted it into my usb drive on my lenovo laptop that the meltdown happened. My computer sparked up, I heard electrical noises, and to my horror, everything suddenly stopped working. The keyboard, the display, my word documents were in shambles. I had to actually pay GeekSquad to fix it for me and they said that the computer had been infected with a malware. I suspect it was the flash drive. I can't believe that would happen. I needed badly the extra 32gb to store my photos of my dog Rufus. He's a good boy, but I fear worse has come to worst and all of Rufus's pictures have been destrroyed. My poor, poor Rufus. So many years, so many memories. Thanks SanDisk, for destroying the only thing I had left of him.
Oh wow. First sorry to hear about your experience and precious memory Rufus. Where did you purchase the drive from?? Is it a genuine copy? Have you contacted the seller/shop/SanDisk about this issue?
@@JoeLamOfficial The laptop was a lenovo if I remember right
Is there any update on this? The warranty of the drive or your laptop?
@@JoeLamOfficial poor poor rufus
😔
This is the worst rated drive on amazon but my guess is people abuse this drive and just give it bad reviews, I got one of these at 16gb as a recovery drive for my gaming desktop and sandisk memory is reliable so its good.
Mine still works since I've made this video. Still using it now.
cool
Thanks for watching :)
Macintosh? What the fuck.
hi
Hi
This drive is a piece of shit. I have the 128GB version and despite the good read speed (100MB/s+), the AVERAGE write speed is a pitiful 18MB/s.
That's the truth with cheap thumb drives. Unless you get a SSD drive, these memory chips will always be limited in some way.
Don't buy it. Sandisk has a very low life span! Especially on SD and USB. Don't buy it!!!
Interesting. I've had many SanDisk SD cards that I use professionally and they not one has failed on me yet. Can't say for sure for the USB drives since I only had this one and I barely use it at all.
I use the affordable SD cards and USB from SanDisk and I never had any problems with it except its speeds.
SanDisk is one of the most trusted when it comes to those types of storages, you probably just had a defective item and now you think all their products have low life span.
My SanDisk pendrive is working since 2010...I m using it for 12 years still working...😂
Grow up bro 9.45 GB = 9.45*1024 MB and 9.45 GB = 9.45 *1024*8 Mb
For your info B(Byte) = 8 b (bit)
