Questions & Answers

Is there a light that flashes when you upload or download files to this FD? If that's the case, what is the light's location? at the very end, at the very top, and at the very bottom?

My 16 GB flash drive came with a light when I bought it in May 2020.

Is it possible to add a keychain?

No, unless it's a small cable type of key chain, you can't attach a keychain to this flash drive. There isn't enough room behind the provided stud for the tight turn out of the cavity because it's in the corner. I hung mine from a rubber band.

Is it possible to use this to make a backup of everything on my laptop so that I can reinstall Windows 7? What is the best way to determine the size of the stick I require?

Just keep two things in mind. 1) You cannot simply copy files to back up your computerbr>2) This 256GB. I did a test with my phone and it takes over 4 hours to transfer 64GB, and 16 hours to copy the entire 256GB, making it a very slow device.br>br>If your laptop has USB 3.0, it will take less than 4 hours.br>br>If your laptop has USB 3.0, it will take less than 16 hours.br>br>If your laptop has USB 3.0, it will take less than 16 hours to copy the entire 256 If you have a budget of $0, the SanDisk 256GB Extreme PRO is a better option. It will only take 100 minutes to fill that one, as opposed to the 200 minutes it will take to fill the other one. This one takes 16 hours and costs slightly less than twice as much as this one.

I'd like to download slides, but I'm not sure how to determine capacity or which size to purchase. ?

When you've gathered all of your slides into a folder, whether it's a single folder or multiple folders, you can right-click on that folder, select properties, and the folder size will appear in that window. You can purchase the size needed for that folder if there are no more slides to be added, but I only use 80% of my drives.

Selected User Reviews For SanDisk 64GB Cruzer USB 2.0 Flash Drive - SDCZ36-064G-B35

It's not a good idea to keep any important documents or mission-critical information on your computer
3/5

data that is crucial Over the last three years, we've purchased about 20 of these SanDisk drives, with about half of them failing. I bought another drive in October 2017 with the expectation that SanDisk would fix the issues, but both of the new drives I've received have failed. Either I get a message saying "you must format the drive" while browsing files, or the contents just vanish and the drives become inaccessible unless they are unplugged and replugged, resulting in the same failures. br>br>Overall, I am dissatisfied with the purchases and have had to spend a significant amount of time and money with our clients to replace these drives. We've had much better luck with PNY drives, but even with the occasional failures, I'm switching to Toshiba 500 GB portable hard drives, as flash drive technology above 32 GB appears to be on its way out. 64 GB is simply unreliable at the moment.

128GB on a 32GB card
3/5

Disappointed to the point of frustration. This flash drive was given to me and I've been using it to upload photos for the past week. I was taken aback when I received an error message stating that the drive was full, despite the fact that there were only 31 files on it. Total storage capacity is 9 GB. I double-checked the back of the drive where the details are printed, and it does say it's a 128GB drive, not a 32GB drive; I'm well past my return window because I didn't start using it until recently, and only checked that it worked upon receipt. I never expected to have to double-check that SanDisk was selling me the 128GB drive I paid for and not a smaller one. This has soured my opinion of SanDisk products. After owning five other SanDisk drives in the past few years and having no problems with any of them, I assumed they were a trustworthy brand.

BUYING IS A MISTAKE
3/5

ITEM IS A FAKE. I attempted to fill in the blanks with the number 36. It had 8 GB of photos and videos on it, but it said there wasn't enough room. However, I was able to squeeze 29 into the space. 8gb. It's most likely a 32GB, despite the fact that the outside shows 128GB and the computer shows 128GB. However, attempting to use more than 32 results in an error. It's amazing that Amazon allows this.

Large enough to hold archives but small enough to fit in a drawer
5/5

To store photos and videos, I bought two 256GB hard drives. Flash drives are ideal for this because they are small, convenient, inexpensive, and have enough memory to store thousands of photos, videos, and other files. I bought USB 2. Instead of USB 3, you can use 0 drives. Because the output of my computer is 2, I've given it a score of zero. 0 only. You can see which ones are installed on your Mac by going to: system report/USB/apple/about this mac br>br>There are two points to remember: 1) The write speed is extremely slow, despite the fact that the read speed is adequate. If you plan to write files to the drive frequently, a standalone external hard drive might be a better option. Write speed should not be an issue for archival applications. 2) If you want to load individual files larger than 4GB, you must first reformat the drive, which is a fairly simple process for which I found instructions on Google. The large files load without a hitch after formatting. NOTE: Because all data is erased during the process, format before loading any files.

It moves at a snail's pace
3/5

It is not something you should purchase. I purchased a 256 GB hard drive, but it is extremely slow! It is not something you should purchase. br>I have another 128 GB from the same brand that I purchased last year and it works fine; however, I couldn't figure out why this 256 GB is so slow that it's unusable.

Write Speed is less than 10mb/s
3/5

Speed of writing is extremely slow; When you're saving a 72-gigabyte file. It was transferring at around 5 mb/s and said it would take 5 hours 30 minutes to transfer the zip file to this flash drive. USB 2 is supported by my computer. 0 and in Device Settings in Windows 7, I changed the setting to Performance [which did not improve the transfer speed]. Make sure to look into the Read and Write Speeds of any flash drive you intend to purchase. I recommend the Patriot Supersonic Rage 2 [400 MB/s read, 200 MB/s write] or the Patriot Magnum 2 [400 MB/s read, 300 MB/s write] USB 3. 0 flash drives. 1 [that are USB 2 backwards compatible]. 0].

Design flaw in the hardware both the past and the present I just got off the phone with SanDisk Tech Support, and I can confidently state that I will never buy another device from them! This week, my 2015 SanDisk Cruzer 128GB developed a "write protected" fault, and it can no longer be read, written to, formatted, or repaired
3/5

br>br>I tried all of the available online solutions, which are supposed to work with most other USB drives with this issue, but they didn't work. Then I came across a knowledge base article on Sandisk's own website that stated that the drive could go into "write protect" mode at any time and that there was no way to get it out. (To comply with Amazon review guidelines, the link has been removed. ) THERE IS NO FIX! )br>br>THERE IS NO FIX! AND THEY ACCEPT THAT THEIR PRODUCT IS TO BLAME! Despite this, br>br> due to the fact that there are only three of them The company refused to service or replace my device during its one year manufacturer warranty and instead offered me 25% credit on their online store. What a slap in the face! Why would I want another stick with inherent flaws? br>br>The truth is that warranties are irrelevant when dealing with known flaws. Recalls are designed to do just that. br>br>However, in SanDisk's case, the drives with built-in flaws are still being sold. It's simply a ticking time bomb - reviews will show that other people are having the same problem on new and old drives alike. You could get months, if not years, of use out of it. br>br>This has been and will continue to be a problem. br>br>When you factor in the problems I've had with other SanDisk models in the past, you can bet I'll steer clear of this scumbag. You, too, have a lot of options in the USB Flash Media market, and I recommend that you take advantage of them.

The review section has yet again failed
3/5

If you need to send or receive sensitive information, don't use this device. When I bought it in June, it was connected, backed up, and verified. br>I tried to access it last week, but the same computer is unable to do so. br>I tried rebooting, using different computers, and using different USB ports, but nothing worked. br>It's a squander of funds. The majority of reviewers have had no issues, but there appears to be a trend in the negative reviews. br>I wouldn't trust this device with vital information. There are enough failures on this list to make you stop and think. br>At $56, with no chance of a refund, I'd suggest trying a different product rather than risking it.
