Questions & Answers

Can you tell me how to use this?

You can use them with your opposable thumbs if you have a good grasp of your hands. You will have a very difficult time using these flash drives if you do not have opposable thumbs.

Can you tell me what class these are?

Unlike SD cards, they do not appear to have any class. A 100mb / sec speed is possible with these cards.

Would you be able to refund our money?

It may be possible, but if you didn't wait too long, you would have to review your Amazon orders, find the order for the item, and request a refund.

Write protection is on my drive and it won't let me write to it. What do I do?

You can fix this issue, but the solution will depend on which computer you have Googling solutions and selecting the one that works best for your computer system is the best option.

Selected User Reviews For SanDisk Cruzer Ultra 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive SDCZ48-016G-U46 up to 100MB/s (Pack of 5)

I've found these thumb drives to be fast and reliable! Since I am a professional photographer, DSL is a convenient way to deliver my work The thumb drives have three thumbs each
5/5

SanDisk is the most trusted brand when it comes to external storage devices Media outlets that cover state affairs and my contact It is possible to brand USB flash During the past several years, I have used no more than one failure of SanDisk Cruzer Ultra drives in the 16, 32, and 64 Gb sizes. Moreover, you should know that a 16 GB thumb drive DOES NOT offer 16 GB of data storage. I may never understand that, but you are confined to what you have. As every drive must reserve space for firmware, the capacity of the drive decreases, so buy a drive that has a capacity that is far above your real needs. There is no restriction on file size due to the USB standard, but in fact to the formatting of the device.
These devices come formatted to FAT32, which means that a single file cannot be larger than 4GB. But YOU can re-enter it if you wish Using Windows, format the hard drive. The thumb drive will connect to a computer via USB when you place it in your computer If your computer has a USB 3. 0 port, you can right-click on it If you click the drive, select FORMAT then choose NTFS, you will then be able to add large files. I do a lot of cinematic/video presentations and have had to re-format several times due to large files. If you want to use a larger movie file, format the drives. These drives are nice, long and have retractable USB connections, but the connection is still exposed to dust and debris that could be in your pocket. I highly recommend that you purchase a portable storage case as well to keep your drive safe when it is The CaseLogic zippered cases I personally use for storing, shipping, and transporting my valuable data are fantastic! The flash drives are loaded with SanDisk data. This is definitely a company I recommend! It is the best of both worlds when it comes to.

The speed of the write is extremely slow
3/5

It has really high reviews, which is surprising to me. There is a big problem with the speed of this USB stick - the writing speed is very slow. I got 6 out of 10 There is a 9 MB/s speed. There is no way to obtain 100MB/s as advertised by the vendor. Their deceptive advertising led me to believe they were legit and I was.

purpose, they work fine, read speeds seem to be good, and they have a simple user interface
3/5

My company bought these so that I could have a set of administrator images for various software packages that I manage. In this regard, they work fine. My read speeds seem fine, and the lanyard loop makes it easy for me to keep all my hard drives together and easily locate the one I need. I agree with others that the speed of writing is the issue. Nine to ten in most cases A USB 3 device can only do 10MB/s, which is painfully slow In my case, it's not a deal breaker since I am transferring data once and then reading it many times each rather than constantly changing the files on the drives, but anyone using them for actual data transfer should look elsewhere for something that at least comes close to those promised For those trying to discredit my comments, the speeds report are consistent across several PC models and model years as well as transfers of a single large or many small files. If I had planned to use these for anything other than static storage,.

I'm talking about USB3, NOT USB3-compatible REVIEWS CAN BE FALSE
3/5

DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. It is not possible to connect these thumb drives to USB 3. I cannot tell whether these are fake or if SanDisk is lying about their speeds. We were able to transfer data up to 15MB per second using Plugged into USB3 and USB3 respectively, they were both connected to the same port. There is only one interface. In all, we saw an average write speed of about I urge you to stay.

This is even better than what was It's no longer possible to turn on the activity LED
3/5

I hate it. After formatting and testing it for NTFS, I wrote about 7GB of data to an ISO file. The writing began around 25 minutes after formatting. The speed once reached 40 MB/s, but it then declined to 13 MB/s during sustained periods. I was amazed that I was able to read 7GB of data at a rate of 150+ MB/s throughout the file. The machine was warm while reading the large file, but stayed much cooler than I I love this product. I love this product. I love this product. With the exception of large multifamily There is a lot of lag when writing to GB. Then continue ****- I have added an edit to the message. As of December 15, 2019, I just received this latest batch, which is packaged in the same way as previous batch Item No. 16G- There is no blue activity LED on these U46s any more. *br**br* Grrrrrr. I reduced the stars from 4 Then continue ****- I have updated version 3 of this post. Currently, this batch is marked 130 MB/S on its packaging. However, the same performance was observed It takes a long time to write. It is very fast to read the book.

And now there is a blue activity LED.

Many work, but some do not
5/5

For the second time, I ordered SanDisk usb flash drives in packs of five. Both times, some of the flash drives were not working. It was the first bad one that I returned. It is not worth the headache and frustration of dealing with support. I recommend you stay away! The following is an update (a It's a relief to know I don't have to deal with SanDisk/Western Digital again after sending CWP Online a note regarding the defective flash drive. I will not be faced with the hassle of dealing with them While I was frustrated when I first wrote the original review, I have bought several SanDisk products over the years. Almost all of them I still use today. As a whole, they deserve 5 stars, outside of their support and with the support of third-party sellers such as CWP Online.

All but one of the drives failed to There are five SanDisk Ultra USB 3
3/5

0 devices in my set Item No. 16G- barcode) arrived with the 5 drives in individual packages (which could be sold one after another). We found one of the drives dead as soon as we arrived. As soon as I plugged it into the USB port and attempted to access the drive with Windows 10 File Explorer, the computer screen locked up and the only way I could unlock it was by removing the drive from the USB port. This even worked with CTRL-ALT-DEL. Alternate spelling of When I tried to safely eject the drive with Windows 10, I was unable to open anything, or to use DEL to open anything. The same thing happened when I tried it several times more. 4 out of the 5 drives appeared to be working properly. The drives come with extra software that includes the SanDisk SecureAccess password system. It is highly recommended that you use this software. In case you don't need password protection, you can delete the additional software and free up some storage.
