I love this thing My MacBook has a USBC port and everything else I use has the old standard USB. This makes switching between the two a breeze.

The best use case for this product is when connections to both Type A and C are needed and data is written incrementally to this drive. If your use case includes individual writes of 100GB or more find something faster.

This review is intended as a direct companion to my mixedtopoor verdict on item SDDDC232GB, because I bought both units at the same time specifically in order to compare them in ways that were not listed on the spec sheets.First up, I have to echo what I said there You are probably looking at this model because you have shortlisted units that have both USB A and C without the need for a separate adaptor. Pricing is also very close, and they both claim to have the same speed. How to chooseFirstly, the negative in my testing the WRITE speed is actually about 50 less on this at 40MBs rather than 60. Read speed was confirmed identical at 140MBs.However, the positives in my opinion far outweigh the negative because the physical usability is far superior. The sliding mechanism is THE major weakness of the sibling model. Poor design and weak materials combine to make it an almost guaranteed frustrating experience. This unit is slimmer overall and the pivot design obviously sidesteps all issues nicely. Even if the pivot hinge totally failed and detached completely, you would still have a usable drive and I am not so sure the same could be said for the slider.You will surely have noticed that read and write speeds are currently far better if you get a premium USBAonly unit, so if you are interested in ultimate speed you will not be looking at a dualinterface unit anyway. So, never mind the speed loss this is the one to get.

Compact, easy to use, fast enough for my needs, does the job I bought it for. Simple way to move data from my Android phone to a laptop in a pinch. Practical hoop to attach it to a key ring. No frill, no fuss.
Mikie –
I needed something easier to store my photos on my phone as it was taking way too much storage I absolutely love that this USB is type c exactly like my phone which makes it super convenient And plus its so stylish
Crafter –
It seemed like a good idea. Not easy to sync with the phone. I had to go into the store and have a Geek Squad person set it up. Then I found I didnt really need it. I could sync my phone and computer another way. It does move pictures from phone to it easy once it gets set up.
jerseymom –
This drive did exactly what youd want it to. Worked well in my computer and was easy to use. Also, it has a nice top so it keeps the dust out. Im glad I had this, it stored a lot of data that I needed,
GFChi –
Got this when it was on sale. I will say, it is a small, but doable flash drive. I like it has both kinds of USBs on each side. Dont need an adapter or anything. It loads up nicely on my computer and works like any other flash drive. There are two items on the drive, but I think thats for an app on Android, but you can delete them with ease. I would suggest putting this on a keychain or have a wristband attached to the loop on it, so you dont lose it. Overall, its a really good flash drive.
Tom –
A very handy USB stick, especially if you have USB C ports and you dont use them. It is not too small to lose, nor is it too big to be inconvenient. You can easily attach a noose to it, or strap it to your keychain, so it always comes in hand.
DJM7 –
Clever design and useful if you want a storage device to work with your mobile device. However, it is worth nothing that this device is quite small. Again, small is good for a mobile, typec, device but not goat for a typea device
SkyDoc –
This thumb drive works with both USBA and USBC.Much faster than my older convertible USB drive.Switching from A to C is a bit of kludge requiring pulling connectors apart and reattaching them in a different order. Easy to lose pieces. But fast
Seeker –
Excellent product small in size almost to small. Will not work on an iPad Pro, only computers. Build in universal design can easily move from old machine to new.
TheWilyTouchstone –
Small size, small capacity, great for data on the go, but those who are unaware of their strength or possessing butterfingers should be careful of this flash drives delicate frame and flimsy feel. All the pictures make it seem much larger than it actually is.Not for those who easily misplace tiny bits
Edward M. –
I bought this drive because i exist, like most people, in a multicomputer universe. My older HP Windows 10 laptop needs to share files with my newer Surface Go. This works perfectly for this purpose, in cases when I dont prefer to use OneDrive or Google Drive.
iPadmini5 –
Works well with iPad or Phone transfer of data when switching devices phone to another phoneor ipad to another ipad. Just have to make sure that your device can handle using an usb c device
AndyW –
Excellent USBC flash drive. It slides easily out of its protective case and is easy to carry very lightweight. And the color black is nice as well.
Penjim –
Bought this to ise as an OTG drive for the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Works great to transfer files from or to the phone from a computer or tablet. Works well.
comppaul –
This USB Key works well in both the TypeC and TypeA methods. It simply rotates to the two positions. I have used it in both ways, and it works just as I expected in both. It is even smaller than I expected. I fits into small spaces.
GreggG –
Small footprint, large storage volume, rapid access, nothing not to like. I didnt realize that USBC storage drives were a thing until I saw this in the store, great for MacBooks. Only problem is that its so small I worry about losing it…
TechnologyUnicorn –
This works great for backing up your mobile devices. It also makes transferring information between a laptop and mobile device a breeze.
Charity3 –
I purchased the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive to move my pictures and documents to it so I could free up space on my phone. Also I can use it to transfer whatever I want to my computer. It has a keyring hole so I can carry it with me. I am very satisfied with it and was very pleased with the ease of the transfer.
Fuko –
Oh wow Best versatility flash drives for school Jumping between Android PhonesTablets and PCs, this is the best flash drive to load a quick document or transfer photos
Sound –
This is a very versatile product that we used to store a lot of pictures. Best Buy was pick shipping it and the price was deeply discounted. I highly recommend it.
TamagoGoBaby –
Works great. It was in my pocket when I floated a river, and it still works after i dried it out, so i deff recommend if longevity is something youre looking for. Not sure if it was a fluke, but yeh, this thing still works
Lovelymom33 –
Im happy with it. Price is good. Working good. Nothing to complain about. I like the size too.
Joey –
Love the fact that I can use this on all of my devices, transferring files is so much simpler without obnoxious USBC dongles. Speeds are great, just not sure how durable this thing is. Doesnt feel like something I would travel with, the plastic feels pretty cheap.
bran999 –
Ive had this drive for a while now, and I love it Its tiny and so it fits everywhere but still has a ton of storage. I did a lot of research to find the best price for this much storage and this drive won out. Very reliable. Its taken some rough treatment and havent had any issues. I have a mac and its perfect for collaborating on projects switching between USBC and USBA on different devices. It has enough storage for all my school projects and movies. Its nice to use it on my MacBook with the USBC, and then plug it into my TV with the USBA and watch movies on it.
JRH2 –
This was a brand new item that I opened the packaging on my self It was sealed and there were already photos posted on it Why was this and how did this happen on a sealed product
TLHershi –
This was quite interesting just from the title prior to purchasing it. It kept on selling out at my local store. I finally decided to order via online shipping. It was a good purchase for the price. It is a 128 GB for a good amount and I can definitely have the versatility and usage with a cell phone with a USBC or even a computer with USB c for faster transfer rates. Additionally it still does have the classic USB a which typically I leave the USBC hanging out and then slide in the USB a as its smaller with the usbc sticking out and doesnt get snagged along with anything. The overall stick did feel warm when plugged in which I think the materials are more plasticky or perhaps some sort of carbon like material it wasnt too bad but definitely felt heat when plugged into a cell phone. It is efficient for what it is and not a bad buy to have a couple laying around in a desk drawer or a backpack or for you ladies in your purse.
Prof –
Couldnt get it to work. Brought it back to Best Buy. Initially they thought it was faulty, but eventually got it to work. Not confident it will continue to work.
Irishgirl –
I purchased this flash drive to store data. I was getting a new work computer and did not want to lose data. I needed one side USB Type A and the other side to be USB Type C. Im so glad I saved my data on this. I lost a lot of information from the old computer when it was supposedly transferred onto the new one.
Disappointed –
Sure they said it would be easy to load the pictures from my android phone. Not so… I still have not been successful. Not real easy for someone not tech savvy.
Raymond –
This is a usable flash drive with both USB A and C ports. 128GB will store plenty however the product fails to disclose the write speed. Write speeds will effect how long it will take to copy files to the flash drive. 3060 mbps write speed isnt really that good in relation to the capacity. Ill be returning mine. Hopefully, this review will answer the question of actual write speeds of this flash drive as there are few reviews.
DJ –
Ive had a little keychain USB drive like this before but since it was metal it easily bent and its hard to get back into shape, but with this being plastic its lighter and instead of bending and not snapping back this one is pretty durable in my pocket. It also doesnt get very hot while in use like my old USB drive did, so overall Im impressed.
NoirJason –
This thing is fast and super useful to transfer things between devices and store data from any device. If you do any production and or mobile on the go tech related things this will be perfect for you and its SUPER compact too so perfect for phones but its VERY small so just loop it on a keychain or something to help not loose it on the go
InternetRouter –
Save photos off of your Smart Phone easily. Best Buy staff know their products and easily help you make a great purchase. The photo stick gives me peace of mind and saves storage space on my cell phone. Thank You
Miro –
Sandisk is my favorites, flash drive, micro SD, external SSD, everything works great, super fast and if you are lucky, not even expensive, but you have to watch Bestbuy deals. Many times less than half price.
Kris –
Best one I have. Its strong and not reliable. I would purchase one bigger next time. Thank you for your reply assistance.
micahthomas –
Works great as usbc and regular usb storage drive. Perfect for transferring stuff between an older desktop and the newer laptops with only usbc.
Srpr –
Works great. Load rates are fast compared to other brands i tried. Doesnt suffer from lag or chugging like others. Highly recommended.
mantis011 –
Works really good, allows me to use a Macbook Pro 16 with only USBC ports and my desktop which is antiUSB C. Does the job well, its fast, and it reverses ports extremely simply. Good job.
Timewalker –
As advertised.ProsEasy purchase, small physical size, convenient to use, fairly decent storage size and transfer speed is good.Cons needs a cap to keep dust out of the uncovered end, but its not a large concern relative to how I use the device.I purchased the device for easy storage of photos from my phone USBC and it more than met my expectations. I would definitely recommend this drive.
Lateraluz –
Awesome little drive, very fast and I can use it to pass files from pc to tablet to phone pretty easily. Only downside is that it feels a bit cheap, the build quality is not that great. Other than that, the product is great
RandyG –
Got on sale for 15. Makes a great keychain usb for portable apps and saving files. Comes in hand as a person who has to work on family computers from time to time. USB C is mostly just for more connectivity options. Speed are acceptable at 100MBps.
Anonymouse –
This drive is surpisingly small but has lots of storage space, and fast transfer speeds. Thumb drives from SanDisk are usually some of the best on the market. I bought this for my Samsung tablet to archive files. Works as advertised.
Rick –
I got tired of emailing photos from my phone to my PC and got this on sale price. Works great I also tried it for transferring music from my PC to the phone, and it worked well but Im not crazy about its failure to recognize the music file names. Ive got it on my key ring so I have it wherever I go.
chuck –
on salegreat deal. works as described.similar deal to amazon but i trust this item is genuine and i needed right now.would buy again, no problems yet but i doubt i will encounter any
philtech –
Convenient drive for moving of files no matter if it has USB c or regular USB a. I keep it on my keychain to easily copy files from my phone and then use them on my computer. When its on sale its a good deal. I was able to format it to exFAT so I could store files greater than 4GB in size and have been using it almost daily without issues.
Manny –
Great little flash drive. Good value for the money. We have used them always for our grandkids small lap top. It helps for the memory when you have a small computer. Would buy again.
Kiki R –
The SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go is perfect for moving photos between my phone, tablet and laptop. Before to get the same job done I needed both an adapter and USB drive. This dual ended drive removes the need for an adapter in a very compact little package. It is so small it fits easily in your pocket, purse or desk drawer.
Adam –
feels very cheaply made. the USB A side is made out of very thin plastic that can be bent easily. Works perfectly fine if you need to move files between USB A and USB C devices.
Lexbytheway –
I bought the 64GB and I liked it so much that I bought one with bigger capacity. Very convenient since it can be used by both USBA and USBC, and so far performance is good.
RonS –
We bought a blink security camera which works pretty well. It came its a 30 day free cloud service that saves your shots. But after 30 days it gets kind of expensive. So we bought this SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go 128GB USB Type AUSB Type C Flash Drive. Its a bit slower than the cloud service, but a lot cheaper.
Condorl –
This purchase is intended to provide extra and additional storage space when the time arrives. The purpose will be to catalog certain, but specific materials by design for easy accessibility.
dawny624 –
This is the perfect size drive to be able to carry with you wherever you go. I have it attached to my keychain so it is always with me for when I need it. It can be used for smartphones, tablets and computers. I mostly use it on my phone and my laptop. It quickly transfers my pictures, files, etc from my phone to clear up space and its compatible with most operating systems.
glam454 –
Works well with both my computer and phone. I like the small size. I also have a PNY dual drive and this Sandisk is at least 13 its size.
DaveO –
Great for the transfer of huge files by sneaker net from Windows to my wifes MacBook. Could even be used for backup or as a boot drive for Linux.Works greatPhysically much smaller than I expected.
tomlever –
Fast transfer speeds through both the new USBC and traditional USBA plug sockets. The other great thing about this USB Flash Drive is its thin width meaning it does not take up much space when plugged into the side of a laptop or computer compared to other flash drives, that can be so fat that they prevent you plugging in other devices into the sockets beside them.
Bari –
Lightning fast, and reliable so far. I just wish there was a way to capprotect both ends when not in use. While I could see that, when I purchased it, I didnt really think about it at the timejust be aware of where you set it down when not using it.
gnibblet –
This thing is magical. Gets data from any USBC device to any other USB device and back again.It does get really hot when under high load…so be cautious and dont overwork it…but wow…worth every penny
1husker –
Love this thing Holds more than I expected yes, I looked online to get an idea. I cleared off an old iMac and will throw it in a safe for safekeeping. Something like 15k pictures and other documents and videos. Only downside is the size. Its REALLY, REALLY tiny and could easily get lost
StrugglingUniStudent –
Great sleek flash drive. Supports both my MacBook Air and my Samsung S20FE yay. Great easy way to transfer files between my phone and Mac without airdrop. Have only used for a couple of days and have been very happy with it.
jasvanek –
Needed a new drive to move lots of large files. Wanted one that would work with my chromebook as well as the desktop. Fits the bill perfectly. Very small and the USB 3.2 makes file transfers fast. Highly recommend this drive.
MzMarshmellow –
This has been a great device for file storage and transfers I got this because it fit in my Surface Pro X with the case on, unlike the converter I was using prior to this purchase. I am more than pleased and i hight recommend getting one if you have devices with different usb ports.
Jrbachschmid –
Did not work. I spent 2 hours uploading pictures from my old phone on it. When I went to put it in my new phone, all the pictures were there put ruined. They would show a quarter of the picture then white blanked out the rest.of each picture.
Jamboozie –
Just format right out of the packaging to exfat and you will have great functionality between Mac and PC with both the USBC and 3.0 connections you cant go wrong. Speeds are fast and the drive is tiny. Bought on sale, 64gb for 18.
Lo Mac –
I purchased this little stick as a backuptransfer device for my iPad Pro. Its the perfect size to connect to my iPad then transfer to my MacBook. Has a handy little niche to attach to a key ring, so you wont lose it as well.
LKJ06513 –
This little powerhouse offers storage via USB 3.1 type A or USB type C. 32GB. It allows for high speed easy transfer from my phone to computer. swivel connector lets you hook it to a keychain. It is nice to not have to remove phone case to use as my others have
Rob123 –
Tiny little storage device, smaller than a pinkie finger Using it to store mp4 videos for Plex or to take with us to use in vehicle. Currently have almost 40 mp4 1080p movies and using around 80 gigs. Use as type C or USB.
paul –
Makes life easy. My laptop has a USBc connection and I need to pass files to a coworker whos computer only has the USB3 inputs. Makes it easy to use rather than having adapters etc. Best of both words
Sunflower2020 –
Got a good deal for this Flash Drive. Bought it for transferring files photos between my cell phones 2 laptops, pretty fast convenient.
Dadof2 –
I got this drive to basically backup all the pictures I have. I thought so disorganized with pictures on my phone on my computer and my daughters devices and I wanted to put them all at one place so I can conveniently go through them. This drive worked great its small sleek and I had no problems with large photos or videos being downloaded. Youre looking for a duel Drive I highly recommend this one it will meet all your needs.
Smarty –
Works well. Trying to save photos and just stuck it in and waited. Nothing to it. I am a novice and thought I would need lots of help. Worked like a charm. Now, Since Ive accomplished this, I can have lots of freed up space. There is always a solution when you ask a question.Thanks
GoernerZarzeaux –
small, fast, huge storage capacity, and two different formats USB A and USB C. works perfectly with both formats. my only caveat is that is the size and appearance as the 64 Gb drive and the writing that identifies it is extremely small and hard to seeread.
Divyesh –
Usb type A and Usb type C ports make this an extremely versatile storage device. Transfer speeds are good and I have had no problems transfering data between my Laptop Usb type A, my home computer Usb type A and type C, and my phone Usb type C.
Mustafa –
Bought 128GB model but only had 114GB of space. I understand actual usage space varies but do not understand 14GB for a USB drive. Contacted Sandisk and they said it was OS. I dont know how an OS for a USB drive can be so large.
JStone –
Good buy. It works as it should and I can use it on my old tech and new. I still have a few old computers that havent kicked the bucket yet and this helps me pull files from them and put them on my new computer when needed. The only negative Ive noticed is when using the USBC side and transferring large GoPro vids it does get a bit warm to the touch. It doesnt do that with smaller files or when using the Type A side.
MS33 –
This device has been a life saver between my Samsung phone and my computer. I am able to continue on files and transfer pics between the devices.Im looking forward to buying more of these.
Justin –
The price was right and the usb stick type jobby does exactly what i need it to. Iv yet to fully max out its capacity but im pretty confident that it has the capacity stated. Extra bonus for being able to be used with my phones usb c input as well.
BRIAN –
Poor locking mechanism when the drive is extended. A few poor connections until one learns to keep the slider extended manually until the drive is properly inserted in the port.Would not recommend nor buy this brand again
931Columbia911 –
I got this so I could move pictures and videos from my Pixel 4 between the phone, my chromebook and desktop. It also helps clear storage on my phone and Google One cloud storage from photosvideos that I want to keep but dont necessarily want to take up storage space. The fact it fits my phone with an Otterbox case is also a great convenience. I used to use a UsbC hub, connect that into my phone then insert a microsd card into the hub and save things that way but this is much simpler. Highly recommend this for phones without a memory card slot
Random849 –
Its OK as USB drives go. It works and the dual connection is nice. Its pretty cheaply made though. Afraid it wont last.
TechFan –
Nice and handy dual storage Flash Drive. Works good for music, photos and document files. Fast enough for normal usage and plays music through vehicle system like a breeze. Definitely recommend, especially when you can purchase on sale.
Bobbecky –
This thumb drive is very handy because on the newer computers and Im sure other devices, there are USBC ports that this drive can be used in. It also allows you to connect to a conventional USB port on the other end of the drive, so data can be transferred between devices.
DRich –
The drive is made of flimsy plastic. I couldnt tell from the package. My concern is it will get bent if kept on my keychain, unlke the metal usb drive it replaced. Transfer speeds seem good.
PyroDaPimp69 –
Fast write speed. High compatibility amongst devices. I used these for Windows 10 Installs and both the image creation and execution go quickly.Great if you want to basically make a back up drive or boot image.
ElvinCarr –
A GREAT PENDRIVE. EXCELLENT IF YOU WANT TO USE TO CONNECT IT TO YOUR CELL PHONE WITH A USB TYPE C CONNECTOR. HAS SUFFICIENT STORAGE CAPACITY.
AllanMcD –
It works as it should. I own the aluminum version also and prefer it over this plastic version. This one seems a little too flimsy and delicate, but it works in a pinch.
Cheeks –
I love this little USB. Its small enough to fit in my pocket. I use this for all of my projects to take from one place to another without lugging my laptop around. Ive always bought this brand of USBs and I definitely will continue.
Rippem –
Versatility and a large amount of storage in a compact package that is reasonably priced.It is nice to have USB 3 data transfer speeds while offering both Type A and C connectivity.With 128GB of storage space the one thumb drive can be used for multiple devices.Given the thumb drives features the sales price was very competitive.Downside are the relatively slow data transfer speeds. For some this may not be a problem but I planned on using the thumb drive to run multiple OSes for which I would not recommend this device.
PHILLIP –
under win 7 no USAP CRYSTALDISKMARK 6.0.2 64BIT 1G test FILE X5117.2 READ 22.6 WRITE,WORKS IN PHONECOMES UP UNDER ANDROID WITH SOME SOFTWARE.SCANDISK MEMY ZONE COPING SOFTWARE works well…makes it easy to copy file from phone to usb stick..has a backup software too, it really east to use, highly recommend for most people.i think this is what your paying for, the east to backup thing to the stick, but no instruction on how to install program.i had to copy it to phone, then install it, run it.lets you backup photos, music, videos, doc, contacts.im still testing it, chk it it backs up stuff from micro card too..software very good. again light green stick looks cheap plastic, well made, ill put it on key ring see how long it lasts.if recommend getting black, looks more expensive…
poodlelover302 –
This item is a great combination tool for me as it enables me to use just 1 drive with my hardware using type A USB connectors and also my laptop with USB type C ports only. Before this I had to use a separate adapter to connect the laptop. Its a big timesaver and eliminates one more possible loose connection. I will probably buy at least one more.
Kenneth B. –
Perfect for my wifes needs. Have a small neoprene pouch to keep it in so I dont have to worry about a capless design. In this case, total portability and storage capacity eclipses initial write speed irregular speed from usbtousb copy that wildly swung from fastest to 10, at sometimes almost seemed to stop. Need a HUGE storage that works on PC and USBC phone This is the monster.
ReviewStuff –
This flash drive is great for your new MacBook Pro Its perfect for transferring gigabytes of data from one computer to another computer.
Dang –
I got this USB stick for less than thirty dollars. Im not going to complain much. The only way to improve this product and make it very Apple is to manufacture this thumb drive out of titanium or CNC aluminium.
DjPooh –
Couldnt update my MacBook Air without it. Plugs right in and works immediately Take everything off your Mac to free up space and its more than enough storage
TMart –
Always great service. Employees very helpful and knowledgeable. COVID makes keeping shelf items available pretty tough to do. This store does a great job in doing this and or heli In getting product for the customer.
espn3233 –
Works Flawlessly between my M1 MacBook and Windows PC Would definitely recommend this flash drive. Just make sure you format it to exFat if you want to use it for both Mac and Windows.
cpiro –
Extremely fast USB Flash Drive. Comes in a micro size, excellent to carry around. Its very small size which is perfect for me.
Thebestgift –
This product work excellent and very fast to down load the amount of space easy to copy and paste photos and video files. I will recommend this product to anyone.
