This USB stick really struggles to stay clicked into either open position. For plugging into a PC using the regular USB3 side it isnt a big deal, but plugged into my mobile device with the USBC end, it would retract at the slightest pressure when moving around.

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
John R –
It is great to use because my Macbook Air uses the 3.1 USBC and my older pc uses the Usb 2.0 Style it isnt 2.0 speed, just adaper part. Pretty quick to move from iPad to Macbook to old pc or any combination

I purchased this USB to go with my new MacBook Pro 15 2017 due to the fact the Mac only has USB C ports, and its come in extremely handy since.The tech world is moving towards USB C with many new devices offering USB C in the mix of ports, or in apples case, the only port. This little USB therefore comes in super handy as it allows you to plug in to any standard USBUSB C device and means you only need to cary one USB with you,The USB itself is pretty well built, it has a simple design with a plasticmetal housing, a small slider that you use to push either the regular USB or the USB C out and a small hole to attach a lanyard onto.A small, but welcomed feature is that when you retract the USB the slider sits in the centre and stays there, unlike another SanDisk dual USB drive I have used in the past where the slider wont lock into place and as a result the USBs are always sliding out and exposing themselves.Due to the metal body the USB can become extremely hot when transferring allot of data, however from what I can tell this does not seem to effect the performance, you may just want to be careful of this when in use.I cant remember what format the USB came in but I quickly reformatted it to ExFAT so it would work well on both my Mac and PC, this is really easy to do on windows Cant speak for Mac as Ive never formatted a drive on my Mac, I assume it would be just as easy however and once done means you can transfer the USB between Mac and PC without issue.The new MacBook Pros have very limited storage unless your willing to pay a fortune for an upgrade, therefore this is a great way to cut down on costs with a new Mac as you can get a lower storage model and then one of these to store the things youll use less often. I personally keep backups of my projects on the USB as well as some of my Steam games, the USB is fast enough to be able to download games to it and play them directly off the USB so you can really save some space by storing your games on here.Overall the USB is a must have for new MacBook owners and would do just fine if you intend to use it as a regular USB stick, a future proof investment as more things will begin to move to USB C over the years so this should last you a while

Im using the typeC end to hold an installation of unraid. It works, so thats good. I havent done any speed testing or anything fancy, but for my usecase, it just does its job.
D Kelly –
I bought this USB and after trying to use it many times it becomes stupidly hot, way too hot to touch and crashes my phone more then once. To the point of having to do a hard reboot of my phone and thats not something I want to do often.Extremely unhappy with the product and will be trying to get a complete refund
Luke056 –
Very disappointed. The build quality is absolutely shocking and creaks as you hold it. It feels like its about to shatter in my hands if I grip it too hard. It does work, but I dont feel safe keeping important files on it out of fear that it will break.
John –
Great small and compact USB.. perfect for MacBook and Windows machine.. Make sure to format to XFat format before use.. handy to have USBC and USBA
Mandy –
Pros No good points unable to use as it doesnt connect to iPhone iPad…dont know this til packaging cut openCons Dont advertise as suitable for all smartphones.. should hilight NOT compatible with iPhone
e3s4uuk –
Good product. Lot of data storage. Reliable reputed company. Can be used as a backup divorce and to transfer data between phone and computer.
Hyong –
Performance and quality were confirmed while using USB storage devices of various companies.All products generally promote reading speed.Therefore, the reading speed is fast.However, I think writing speed is more important.Of all the products I have used, SanDisk products are the most reliable.This product can be used in two ports, so it is convenient and has excellent performance.

An excellent disc that is very well made, small and exactly what I required to transfer music from my computer via USB for use in my Skoda car which has a USBc connection. Transferred about 30 C.D. s in under 30 minutes it is astonishingly fast Very fairly priced as well.
Anonymous –
Handy if yo have a new car as a lot are now using the typ c connection. So suitable for home a vehicle transfer data.
Philippa –
Fantastic, small enough to fit in car without protruding to much. Need type C connection for car but grate to have standard USB fitting
Anonymous –
I bought this to use mainly at work with its added type C connection which is the latest style of connectivity being used by Volkswagen in their new model range, in short I was able to download some music onto this and then plug it into the cars socket play the music simple and i can still test the older models which use the standard usb just by using the slider to select my choice, simple easy to use loads of memory to, will be useful on holiday too in hire cars. just need to load more music
Don –
The product performs well. The Sandisk software for managing files and media wont automatically rotate on my tabliet not optimum. And what do you do with the thing You cant put it on a keychain, and even if you wanted to do that the ends are uncovered so that they will fill with pocket lint even when closed. I have resorted to putting it in a baggie for now.
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.

This item has limits on which equipment it is compatible with. The details and links are in the small print on the rear of the packaging, but none on the product information details. This item was not compatible with any of the 3 items for which I wanted it.
William –
It works just fine. Hopefully the dual interfaces will futureproof it somewhat. I was hoping that it would have a more solid metal construction. Its just the usual plastic but, as I say, it does the job.
Etorr85 –
Works perfectly for my needs. USBC to use with my laptop, and USB 3.1 for use with my work computer. The only flaw is that there isnt an easy way to attach a lanyard to keep it accessible. It has a very small opening on the side that will fit a piece of string, so I ran a piece of nylon string to attach it to a key ring. Aside from that, no issues.
julian9076 –
Someone engaged their brain here USB 2 plug one end USB C plug the other end, both retractable, 64GB as well and it is a SanDisk to boot. Perfect for me to transfer files from old Mac to new MacBook Pro. It looks good as well what more can you ask.
Anonymous –
Finally, a high quality and affordable USB drive with a C connector, but also an A. Works perfectly and is supercompact.
Anonymous –
It does his job BUT it doesnt fit very well in my usb port type C macbook air. It feels really not good and kinda have to force it inside. Fortunately I got a USB hub and I just use the normal usb port. The usb C fits very well in my smartphone huawei honor 10 so i dont really know whats his problem with my mac.
Nick –
Its very small but has bags of capacity. Ideal for me for backing up files. Just lacking some way of attaching it to something bigger to avoid it getting lost
chaddneil37 –
I was looking for something that would work with my Mac Mini 2018 and iPad Pro 11 and this does the trick I can swap between the two easily and transfer speeds are great.
Paulm –
Works exactly like instructed. Had a little trouble figuring out how to use it with iPad but YouTube resolved very easily.
Paul –
I bought two of these to prepare for my new MacBook Pro purchase. I tried them both and they both fail to make a usable connection using the usbc plug. I can no longer return them to BH but Sandisk is going to get these back. ABSOLUTE garbage Shame on you SANDISK you are about to LOSE a loyal pro customer.
BillM –
It gets 4 stars because its only 116 gigabytes not the full 128. It might as well be advertised as a 115 gig thumb drive since thats essentially what it really is..
Barry –
Brilliant idea having selectable C and USB connectors. Drive works flawlessly and very well priced for the capacity. SanDisk have been around forever, so no problems with the quality.
Jack –
I have a few of these different capacities great usb delivery as promised all my purchases for usb from pic stop excellent

Great flexible USB stick for switching files from PC tofrom mobile phone. A must have for on the move flexible file storage and transfer. Clever product.
Tess –
Considering how much the SanDisk cost, I personally feel that the quality of the unit should be look much better in real life. You might be surprised to realise this, but many product images are not the real thing. They are Rendered CAD images. Giving the impression that the quality is much better than they are. Its done for advertising. The product images look great, but its not real. I just hope that the tech quality is much better than the true appearance, which is very cheap looking in the hand. With cheap looking tinish metal outer case and low quality plastic feel. In real, it does not look or feel like a quality product at all. I have bought much better.
Kenneth G –
This first thing that blows you away about this drive is the capacity in such a small case. The next thing that may capture your imagination is what application might be made to your Android or other device with the special TypeC connector. It has both TypeC and USB 3.1 We have enough junk to carry around in this life. Better to carry around a jewel.
Kelderek –
The speeds good and as advertised, even if they arent top of class. The best feature is having both USBC and USBA connectors, which is super convenient. I have even plugged it directly into my Moto X4 Android phone and it mounted it right away.It is physically quite small and has some little holes on the bottom if you want to loop some heavy threadstring for hanging on a keychain.

Pros Sort of thing I would choose as a gift good value for moneyCons No improvements needed.
Christopher –
Pros Compact useful formatCons none
mearle95 –
Great Product. Large memory capacity. Reliable study and fast.
Clyde –
After maybe a years use, mine will no longer snap into place on either side, so you have to be very careful to push it in so that it makes contact. I would prefer that the device be a little larger and more robust, and have a more positive detente.
usra6634 –
This thumb drive works great on my Huawei phone with the USBC end. Now I dont have to hook up with my computer to quick save pictures when phone is becoming full. Then I can transfer to the computer for editing later with the USB 3.0 end.
Anonymous –
Twoconnection usb and usb c flash drive with large capacity of 64 GB. It is very useful for downloading photos and music from my smartphone to a computer and vice versa. I recommend to everyone.
Anonymous –
Bought this to transfer music and pictures between PC USB 3, Tablet and Mobile Phone both USBC.Worked on all three devices with no problems.Instantly identified and usable.Highly recommended.
James –
Cons It was a real struggle to get the drive into the thunderbolt port and the button on top feels very flimsy.
Christopher –
This is a great little unit and I love the dual interface design. Its no bigger than many of my other drives. My laptop and Chromebook recognise it instantly BUT my Wileyfox Swift 2 refuses to recognise it when its plugged into the USBC port. Even the Sandisk software fails to see it. Ill keep it as its good for other stuff but its frustrating that the USBC doesnt work for me.
zippersnapper –
Performs flawlessly as expected from Sandisk. Perfect for on the go dumping of pics or other documents from your phone. This is ideal if you need to quickly access that information on a PC
Anonymous –
A quick and fast way to transfer your files from your Android tablet and mobile USB C, between devices or back up on your PC without the hassle of synching your device to your PC. An easy to use, secure backup or extra storage solution.
Techazonia –
Higherend aluminiummetal materials used, sturdy construction and design. Much better built quality than the newer SanDisk Dual USB drives, which are entirely plastic.
Denny –
The convenience of USBA and USBC in a single drive is very helpful when transferring files between new and old computers, but the performance is much slower than the specs stated. Its possibly the slowest USB 3 drive I own. It will write files at a speed averaging from 10 15 Megabytes per second , compared to 70 90 Megabytes for my other flash drives. It will work OK in a pinch, but I wouldnt purchase it again.
Anonymous –
The USB drive is very good when utilising its full potential with a 3.1 port with very fast read and write speeds.It also works with USB gen 2 and 3.0 ports just not as fast due to the port limiting the speed but overall a great product and I highly recommend
kitcostantino –
This Sandisk 128gb Ultra Dual Drive USB AUSB Type C drive is the best small usb OTG drive ive used yet.My daily driver is a OnePlus 6t and i use this drive to back up and transfer filesbackups on the go. The speed is great, my portable sandisk ssd is faster, but this is fast enough for most tasks. the form factor is great. This drive is the first one ive used that can go into my usb c port without having to remove my phone from its case. Ya know, fragile glass backed glass screen devices seem to have more longevity staying in their cases, so its a great win for a longtime android modder like myself. TWRP works well with the drive as does Oxygen OS booted to system. A truly perfect drive to go in my small case of thumb drives and cables i carry on me daily old beats audio case. if you flash custom roms and kernels, this drive is a great tool to have. kitcostantino xda
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,
Gerald –
Bought this to back up data files from my old desktop to new. Having the dual USB connectors made it super quick and easy. So, did a great job at a very fair price.
John –
Pros Clever idea, really handy having both types of USB connector.Cons Runs very hot.
Brett J. –
Love finally having a flash drive that works with my new MacBook Pro without a stupid dongle. Plus the bonus of working with my old USB 3 computers as well. Its much smaller than I expected, and slower when connected thru USBC on MBP as well.
henrikthuesen –
These batteries have the highest capacity of any nonrechargeable battery. This mean that these batteries will last longer than any other batteries you use, whether its used in a flashlight, RC car etc. Furthermore, these batteries will keep a stable power delivery untill they are 95 depleted. Regular batteries get weaker when only 50 depleted, which you will notice by a flashlight getting weaker even though its much power left in the batteries. You will not have that problem with these, and I really recommend them. They have approx double capacity compared to regular batteries you find by the counter in stores. Which means that 4 of these batteries will last as long as 8 regular batteries.
Rob –
bought this because I have many files on old MacBook and printers still use old USB and want to use with 2019 MacBook Pro .
woogieman007 –
Bought as an experiment to see if my new phone was Type C charge turns out its not but I found the little adapter that comes with most phones Micro USB to USB it can now be used as a memory card and still use 2 sims which I do. May not work with all phones but for mine it did. Gets a little worm Ive spotted so I would unplug it when not in use, the clip is a bit flimsy but its OK. Transfers files quickly using a normal USB from the computer and smaller then I thought it would be which is a good thing for me. Would be nice to pay a little more for a metal one as this is plastic and may not last as long but good so far.
APOLLO457 –
This USB drive is noticeably faster than similar entry level dives such as the MicroCenter branded ones made by PNY at one point.The dual sided functionality is convenient, but I would have preferred a slightly smallertapered form factor for the USBC side as it currently does not fit into the hole in my phone case.Overall this is a quality product however.
RICHARD –
Good, inexpensive flash drive for moving files between newer USBC older USBA Macs. The whole thing feels a bit flimsy, and I wish it had a loop to attach to a key ring its small and easily misplaced, but works as it should.
Graham D –
Like many people, Ive used dozens of Sandisk products over the years both at home and at work, and by and large Ive no cause for complaint. So when the time came for me to buy a new flash drive, I had no hesitation in choosing another Sandisk product.Sadly I was deeply disappointed.This device gets very hot in use, is very slow when copying anything, it corrupts data and sometimes loses data. Reformatting it has no effect on either its speed or reliability.Because I use it at work and it carries sensitive information, when it started going wrong, I had no choice other than to physically destroy the device rather than return it for a refund.It has been a complete waste of time and money.FWIW I used it on both a MacBook Pro running Mojave and PCs running Windows 10.
ilbay –
this is a great value flash drive, 128gb is a lot. the double usb 3 and type c allows me to transfer files easily between my iPad Mac and pc. speed is good but not grate but for this price its an absolute bargain
mars2662026 –
Best and quick way to backup mobile items, it takes away fear of device loss. Usually contents like contacts and music etc. are as valuable, 126 GB dual drive is extra easy to use.
davidh1165 –
Perfect for my drone that shoots in 4K 60fps. Upload videos on to it in super fast time and play them through my tv with smooth visuals. Highly recommended.
SoccerDadof2 –
Purchased this to use to make periodic backups of my Android. Initial use was a bit lengthy and resulted in the drive getting much hotter than I ever would have anticipated. Only time will tell if this product will last. Given how warm it got, Ive got my doubts.
William –
super helpful to have both usb c and a, which makes compatibility super easy… however since both end is used, there is no easy way to put on a key ring.
Frank B. –
If You Want Speeds That Are Fast, Look Elsewhere.. For About 12.00 More I Could Have Bought A Seagate 1TB 6GB Sata That Is Faster Than This DOG And Its Certainly Not A Greyhound Either…More Like A Basset Hound. I Have One 3.1 Slot On My Motherboard An Add In Card Which Is Also 3.1.. All My PCs Have 6 Core Intel CPUs. Two Of Them Have The Intel 5930K Installed On The X99 Motherboards, Both AsRock. The Other 6Core Is The Ivy Bridge 4930K Installed On ASRock X79 MB.. All Are Fast Not Overclocked. This Is Not Because Of A Hardware Configuration But Just Because It Is A Slow Drive… I Have Not Tried It On My Fastest System Which Has The Samsung M.2 EVO 250GBs PCIe… This M.2 Is Very Fast But I Didnt Buy This Drive For That PC. I Wanted It For The Machine That Has The 3.1 MB Slot For This Drive.. I May Even Give It To My Girl, She Doesnt Mind Waiting Several Minutes To Transfer Files….. I Do…
James –
works ok but the small catch that selects either C or USB port does not realy lock the connection inplace and sometimes when you insert ito the port the connection pushes back into the drive.would buy the next drive with a better solid slide or one without a sliding mech. works fast enough but nothing special
John R –
It is great to use because my Macbook Air uses the 3.1 USBC and my older pc uses the Usb 2.0 Style it isnt 2.0 speed, just adaper part. Pretty quick to move from iPad to Macbook to old pc or any combination
Anonymous –
Does what I expected it to. Small and compact. Good design.

Good idea, but slider doesnt latch securely while inserting and you always have to hold it.
Anonymous –
This is a high quality, sturdy product. The slider has exactly the right balance between being easy to push without being easy to do so accidentally. The performance of this flash drive is very good for sequential and random reading and writing.
Brian –
Very handy to have both USB types selectable on one stick. Quick to readwrite to. I need more of these and at a good price.
Darrin –
Cons The thumb switch to flip usb connector types is very poor and rarely stays in place when the stick is inserted. I have to jam something into the slide mechanism to stop the usb connector sliding back into its case.
Jif99 –
Never had a usb drive too hot to touch after using. Corrupts files and crashes devices when in use.Buy Samsung or other brand as quality is terrible.
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.
Hasmukh –
I like the drive which is a dual type. One end a standard USB A and the other end Type C connection which is ideal for smartphones for transfer and backup. Being 32GB it is ideal for FAT32 format.
pauboothb0 –

128g for 30cfh i remember when usb sticks sold for 10 a gig…anyway, i wanted a stick that wasnt to small, just easier to loose.
almarks1 –
This product will not become obsolete as the industry shifts over to the new USB protocol. This will happen soon, and when the new computers come out across the board they will not be directly compatible with old USB devices. In contrast, this storage device will be usable in the future as well in the present. And it is made by the leading company in its field.
arniebookster –
This is a great tool for shifting files from on computer to another without the hassle of having to buy another cable connectoradapter. USB C USB 3 pretty much get you everywhere you need to get. Apple Mac now uses USB c as standards but their adapters are a real ripoff. This key provides a good solution when hard wiring is the only available fix.
wilsaide –
Fantastic value for money product. It looks the business and has a normal USB connector and a micro USB connector so you can use for extra storage on your mobile, tablet, notebook, laptop or desktop PC. Its small and neat and there is plenty of capacity to store your files. I would highly recommend this product 100.
Lisa –
Too expensive for this level of storage. Should not have purchased.
Anonymous –
I have a car with only USBC connection, I tried an adapter it was too long.This USBC and USB all in one was brilliant because it is short and didnt take up much room.
Baseer –
I recommend that you avoid this USB drive at all cost. Write speeds are down right horrible. Transferring a 10GB files were averaging between 12.2MBs to 20MBs. I have a SanDisk Extreme 64 GB that I bought in 2013 has 3 to 4 times the write speed. If youre intending to copy small files say 20100mb, Dont bother buying this. I wish I could return this, I dont have the original packaging to send it back. Oh, forgot to mention. The USB keys get hot easily after a few mins of use.
egakocksch –
If you are always on duty, as my job requires of me, it is good to have your work with you at all times. You dont have to wait until later. Being able to save large files from my computer on it, I just plug the USBC into my phone and can work on files anywhere and share the result quickly … yes, even from a hike in the mountains. A road warriors must have … AK
Mads N –
Seemed like the perfect solution for me as I alternate between a MacBook and a windows pc. The Full size USB end worked perfectly and the drive appeared ready to be formatted when plugged into my windows pc, but when I plug the USBC end into my Mac absolutely nothing happens. This end of the device seems to be a less than secure fit in my Mac and I couldnt really tell when it was fully slotted home.I returned it for a replacement, and have had exactly the same problem with the second device.I also tried the USBA end in my Mac via a connector cable and it worked perfectly so the problem definitely lies with the USBC end of the device.Poor design and seemingly poorly made. Returned for refund and will be trying alternative brands.
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

I can upload data from my MacBook usb c and, without an adapter, download it to my PC and vice versa.Its fast and easy to use.
Russell –
Ok decided to get this dual storage so i could down load off my PC onto the full size usb A. and then play back on my phone and tablet with the USBC. All I can say is it works perfectly so far, at one point i had 32 full length films in MP4 on the stick and still had over 12 the storage still available. all the films worked on the PC android Huawie M5 and Android Huawie P20.

Before buying check SanDisk website for this items compatibility. The list of cell phones it is compatible with is limited to very specific makes and models. I went by the online description and was disappointed that it didnt fit my android phone but fits the same brand phones manufactured before and after mine. As for the thumb drive storage that works fine.
Anonymous –
This is brilliant because its so small you could stick in your wallet or purse about the size of a twenty pence piece. Its all upto date with the micro adapter too.

I just bought my second one. After the purchase of my new Apple Laptop I was unsure of how to transfer my documents from my HP to my Apple. This is the perfect product for it with with a regular USB on one side and a Type C on the other side. Both in one

I had a problem with my laptop so I needed to start it with a USB stick I didnt have one. Luckily Argos had it in stock. I downloaded a file on my phone and flashed it to the USB stick, and then was able to start my laptop.The click and collect was quick and efficient and thankfully we can still buy things from physical stores rather than have to wait for days for online deliveries.
ScottyB –
Nice, compact thumb drive that works with the newfangled USB 3.0 shape. I bought it for that format, but as a bonus, you can slide out the olderstyle USB piece. An excellent thumb drive for this era when the USB format is in flux between the old, larger pin and the newer, sleeker pin.
Arran Reid –
Pros Works with Laptop onlyCons Doesnt work on Android phones as it says. The purpose of buying this was to transfer photos from my Android phone so it was useless.
foolioni334 –
Great product and great price. My only issue is that it gets really hot while in use and it concerns me because I dont want it to overheat one day and fry itself.
Timothy Y. –
With my type C usb tablet, and desktop PC with USB 3.0, I need an easy way to transfer data since Win10 destroyed home networking. When traveling, I like to transfer photos to a flash drive via USB hub, so this dual ended flash drive is great for that too. The wifes phone also has USB type C, so this flash drive makes backing up her photos easier too. This is the slimmest of the dual ended flash drives I have seen, so it fits nice into a hub. I always recommend SanDisk in general, and this dual ender specifically.
Travis K. –
solidly put together and fun to fidget with, dual sided comes in handy for transferring files between my computer and various things like TV, camera, consoles etc.

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.
funguy1971 –
Everything I need in one flash drive. The sliding button gives you both a USB for computers and game consoles etc and the other end has a USB C for mobile phones. Its fast, small and very fast data transfer speeds. Money well spent thankyou.

Pros Can plug straight into my MacBook Pro and then transfer files to any other standard pc at uni with out having to worry about adapters or what usb it has. It just worksCons Lanyard hole is so tiny its useless.

It was tough to attach a lanyard but this was perfect for being able to keep essential docs handy for viewing on basically any PC plus work on iPads and phones.
boddingtonsbredrin –
Perfect. Its a flash drive, it works, and its a good price. It also came two days early, so you get your hands on it quicker than you think.
UnhappyCustomer –
This flash drive does NOT work with IOS, even though it has a Type C connector. It only works with Mac laptops. The dual drive is a great idea, but really, Apple and these devise manufacturers need to get coordinated. Wasted my time. Walmart refunded immediately, however.
Zachariah –
Perfect for using as a stick to bring with me when I need to perform. Allows me to use my USBC ports on my macbook pro to upload music to the drive, and then the USBA end lets me use this on mostly all CDJs.

I didnt think it was what I had ordered because it was so incredibly small. I even started the return process. But then my niece showed me how it worked, so I decided to keep it. Its cool.

This stick is a great concept, always wanted to easily transfer data from my Android phone to a USB stick. I use it to download movies on my phone and put it on tv directly for example.The problem with this stick is that the execution is bad. The write speed is very bad, 9MBs on OTG is suuuuper slow in 2020, its usually faster to download the movie than to transfer it on the stick. Plus on the mechanical aspect, the USB connectors do not hold well in place, when you try to stick it in a USB port, if you dont aim perfectly right, the connector will get back inside, very frustrating for a daily use.Plus it seems that the two holes on the side allow to put it in a keychain but i had to struggle to put it in one.
msuza –
This 3.0 1st gen USB is fast reliable and good quality. It also has a life time warranty. On one side is a USB while on the other a CType to connect to your phone. It is made of mainly plastic with a metal cover. Theres a key hole on the metal cover although I found it very difficult to put a key ring in it due to the hole being so small and narrow. The USB itself is very small and feels flimsy and of low quality. I havent had it very long but always kept it in my pocket along with various other stuff and doesnt have a scratch on it yet.

Pros Really happy with being able to plug this into my phoneCons Plugging it in and pulling it out feels a bit weird because of the moving parts
Anonymous –
Despite the fact that you never get the 64GB capacity they advertise, the approx. 61.5GB available is sufficient for me. Transfers between devices vary in speed and are quite slow when transferring a lot of data. It does get quite hot when using it in the PC, but the process could not be simpler. Its not difficult to find fault if you are looking for negatives, and you would think they could easily improve performance, but it does exactly what I bought it for.

Hopefully, I was unlucky and received a defective Sandisk dual drive. It had only been inserted in my Galaxy S9 Plus for a few minutes while I downloaded the Sandisk driver and set it up when my hand came into contact with the device. I actually dropped my smartphone, as it burnt my hand MASSIVE OVERHEATING I actually had to hold the device in a cloth to remove it. It was that hot that I couldnt pull it out with my fingers. Apart from the obvious fire risk, this could have easily irreparably damaged the USBc power and data connector my two week old 700 smartphone. Probably, I received a defective item and the eBay seller will get this sorted with the manufacturer. Sandisk is a trusted name and Im not questioning the integrity of the seller. Just be aware and monitor for MASSIVE OVERHEATING if you buy one. Hopefully, yours will be ok.

It is good but little trouble to insert male end to female end of my Dell 5520 Thunderbolt terminal. It is not easily inserted to the full end so it was little waggling but fully works. I am afraid of breaking my Thunderbolt terminal if I force to push it all the way. Thats only inconvenience.
Andreas S. –
Hmmm… Would I recommend it… Probably not, because its supposed to be a 3.1 flash drive and the computer is reporting as a 3.0. Thus I wouldnt buy it again, And I wouldnt recommend it.

This USB Can connect to a normal USB port or it can connect to your MacBookI recommend this to everyone here

Works very well and the transfer speed is quite fast. The only thing I recommend is downloading the memory zone app from the app store and not off the flash drive or you cant make new folders.

the mechanic is not strong. After one week use, the USB is not is not stable in its place and goes inside when I am going to connect it to laptop.

Ive only had this for a week, so cant comment on reliability. Regarding speed… I have no way to benchmark this, so saying it is eitherfast or not fast would be totally misleading, either way… it works,and seems ok What I can says is that its nicely built, feels sturdy in the hand, and is a very practical size.. unless you mislay it

This works fine, but just feels a little flimsy. Its not a fast drive comparatively, but its not supposed to be based on the specs, either. Id buy it again at this price, but not much more. Im just not comfortable at the fitfinish, but I am comfortable using it while it works. The wobble between the case and interior drive is the only thing I can take a star for.

Sorry to say but this mechanism is utter rubbish. Dont buy it. Really. The idea is great and at first one thinks what a clever little thing. Then it always slides back into the thing when trying to plug it in and shortly thereafter it breaks entirely. Happened three times now. Horrible engineering and manufacturing.
Jim –
while the thumb drive might work fine and a handy cross over feature of having both usb connections, I have to give it 1 star because it wont allow encryption.At least I have not figured out how to reformat the thumb drive using mac os as an encrypted drive Ive search high and low how to bypass if theres a solution then its still too obscure to give this thumb drive a high rating. Not sure why SanDisk needs to put their software on the drive to prevent this, but in my opinion for such portable devices that can so easily be lost not being able to set it up as an encrypted device earns it the 1 star rating

I bought this flash drive to do clean installs of 10.15 Catalina on a couple new MacBook pros with USBC only. Both laptops booted from the drive without problems and completed the installs. Since then it has worked flawlessly for other data transfer and storage. No complaints, and thats a good thing.
William D –
i have had to rewrite this review after just one day of use. sadly i think i may be one of the unlucky ones as my comments are not too different to the other poor rating reviews. lets start with the build quality not great, very bendy and i suspect its not going to last long.the read speed benchmark is incredibly quick 155mbps but i think you wont find the write speed anywhere is because it is dire transfers around 200kbps and benches at 500kbps kbps NOT mbps it should be around the 18mbps.trying over the usb connection is no better, so both usbc and usb are slow.the drive gets extremely hot when youve been copying a file slowly for a while and then suddenly will stop being recognised windows shows something plugged in but doesnt work. take it out, give it a few seconds and put it back and it works again.formatting it takes forever in quick format and only seems to work over usb and not usbc and regardless of which file system, cluster size you choose, the speed of this drive to write never goes above 500kbps.i will be returning it or getting a replacement as i suspect this is a defective drive as i cannot imagine this is the intended performance for a usbc drive by a reputable brand.
RAY –
I like the dual port aspect, which makes transferring between different equipment a doddle. The sliding mechanism does seem a bit flimsy, but besides that it was a worthwhile purchase.

Pros It is astonishing that such a small device can safely store 16 GB of data.
LittleBubbleGirl –
By typically I mean not massively fast, but at the expected speed most of these 150MBs flash drives are rated for. Test setup March 2018Straight into a Thunderbolt 3, 2016 15 fully specd Apple MacBook Pro. Using this SanDisk 64GB drive in newunusedpreformatted FAT32 condition, straight out the packaging.Tested using Blackmagic Disk Speed Test, at Blackmagics 1GB and 5GB sizes. Using the drives USBC plug or its USBA plug with an Aukey USBCtoUSBA adapter directly into the MBP5060 write 160170 read. ResultSo reads on an empty drive are as expected, writes are a bit slow but TBH theyre well within what most of these flash drives performances tend to be that advertise themselves at the 150MBs rated standard. SummaryIf you want to spend 24 times more on a flash drive that advertises newer 300MBs speeds, then of course you may get around a doubling of the read and writes shown here. But of course youre paying usually significantly more for the privilege, and those flash drives are typically much bulkier as well, this one is only 4x2x1cm in size. Also, there are currently NO others or at least none from main brands on the market that do both USBA and USBC on one stick.This does the expected speeds, connected using the expected types.As of March 2018… If you need both AC connection types, this is the one youre gonna need to buy. If you want faster speeds, at a higher price 19 quid for 64GB model, whilst sacrificing having both AC USB connections, then look elsewhere.EDIT one week laterTwo quick points…1 Faster drive.Those looking for SanDisks 300MBs speed drive, which is more expensive double the priceGB, bulkier, only has a USBA port and no USBC port. Then the SanDisk Extreme PRO the current one they do in 128GB 256GB sizeshttpswww.amazon.co.ukgpproductB01MU8TZRV2 Format.I should have said originally, Mac users will likely want to reformat the drive in Disk Utility app.The drive natively comes in FAT32, which only allows max file sizes of 4GB. So I used Mac OS Extended Journaled and GUID Partition Map type. Likely only work on Macs though, but thats my work environment. Speeds quoted in main review above remain the same, BTW.ExFAT could also be used not sure whether thats as Master Boot Record or GUID Partition Map type I think the latter is best for newer OSs like Sierra onwards or Win 7 onwards, but thats got limitations e.g. max 11 character drive partition names, see herehttpssupport.apple.comkbPH22240localeenGBHope this helps any Mac and Win users who are unsure.

This is a high quality, efficient, effective piece of equipment. Its affordable and worth every penny
Tammie –
The reviews seemed to have concerns over the locking mechanisam and the heat generated.I have to say mine was absolutely fin.I mean…. yes it gets hot if you are bulk copying it is 256GB and you got it for a reason but it handled it well.I am sure we have all experienced flash drives where the sliding interface keeps shrinking back into the housing… but you dont excpect that for this price.. and I didnt need to worry. The sliding interface was solid and clicked into place.Response is good, read speeds sort of as promised…. actually hardly any of the advertised speeds on here are achievable in normal use anyway. That didnt worry me.Would highly recommend
James –
Well made and logical thinking development. I use mine mainly to bring away videos to watch while on holiday.
nassejo2015 –
I currently use them to carry a portable os. They are fast. The only downside is that they get a little hot after a few hours, but thats it. I would definitely purchase again
Janet –
I was very surprised at the mini size. I only need it for storing photos so it will not get a lot of regular use. I would be concerned about the sliding mechanism for the USB A and C if it was getting heavy use. Works well so far and only lost a star due to its apparent flimsy stature.
DavideLolli97 –
The concept of the product is really cool. Especially in the transition period between USB A to C this kind of pendrive is a must have. The design is minimalist and the product is compatible with both mac and pc. However, you might have to buy the product with a grain of salt. The pen drive OVERHEATS. Literally, after using for like about 5 minutes the temperature of the product will rise as if you were gaming from it. As the product is sold and dispatched by Amazon Uk I contacted them for a replacement thinking Ive got a faulty product but the replacement was heating as well.So, the product is good and easy to copy small files from one pc to another pc or even to a mac. But, dont expect to copy large files like more than 5 GB, print many files from the pen drive or watch videos etc without it heating up.
JKent –
I ended up wanting to have two so I could keep them separate by purpose business vs personal. I already owned one so it was natural to buy a second since it worked so well. I definitely appreciate the dual connector because while most of my machines are USBC my clients tend to have the legacy USB interface.
Ankeeth –
I recently bought one of the newer MacBook Pro models with only USBC ports, so I shopped around to find a USB drive that would have compatibility with my old laptop as well as my new one.This does its job in that it can transfer files between the two devices, but it REALLY heats up. I transferred a pretty small folder of all word documents initially, then made some edits to a few documents on my new laptop, and when I ejected it, it felt like it had been left on top of a stove. Seriously that thing was HOT.Other than the heating problem, it doesnt seem to really have any issues, so if youre okay with that then this will be a good buy for you.

This is the 5th USB Memory stick they doHave given most away for family.Great for standard USB, or to connect the extra material to your Tablet etc
slimeomatic –
Although I couldnt get the spec spped. It is faster than lower USB devices. The dual 3.1 A new standard and C is very handy. It allows connection to both without the expenseinconvenience of two devices. Only downside is it is a little fiddly to snap into the ports due to the nature of the dual interface.

Pros Loaded up 50 gig of music and stuck it in the car. Will just leave it there for 3 years and probably wont get through every track.

I work in IT Support and the SanDisk Ultra Dual is perfect for my work. The dual interfaces mean I can boot a variety of computers, and the 128 GB storage lets me have multiple versions of an OS to boot from. This single device replaces what would have been a case of hard disks 10 years ago. An invaluable, compact, amazing device.

Its a basic USB transformed, you can download films and other materials from your usb type c device, such as your samsung s10 and watch them on your USB A device.The transfer speed is very very fast, providing you have a usb 3.1 port otherwise its slightly slower. I also love the way both ends retract into the case to stop the contacts getting dirty. Overall I recommend this product and feel its amazing, 1 thing to say is if you are uploading movies to it, pay a bit extra and get 64GB or 128GB

Received in time, works correctly moving files from iPad Pro to computer and is just as expected. If i need another USB for my purposes i would buy here again.

The design of this dual USB is not the best. USB C is often hard to get to connect and the USB A side collapses when trying to insert. It also does not have anything to connect it to keys etc apart from two very small holes

It does what it says it will. It works woth my ipad. And older computer great for transferring data from a system with old usb ports and one that only has new ones.No cons but it could be more premium feeling
lesleighdawson –
I prefer to keep my data in my possession, and so dont use the cloud, which is your data being kept in someone elses possession. Google phones sadly dont have SD card option, so having portable and dependable storage such as the products made by SanDisk are an excellent choice. This product is one of those excellent choices. Im very happy with it.

Brought this to use for playing music in a rental car that didnt have standard usb. Worked perfectly and I love the double ends made it very easy to put music on from pc then play in the car plus if our next rental has normal usb then this will work on that too.

This is an original one, it was the same as shown on ebay as well. The file was transfered at the maximum speed approximately 26 MBs, the average was around 1923 MBs. The file transfer with mobile phone was normal. Its been worked very well with mobile phone.

This drive works very well for me. I have it connected to a 7 port USB hub and use it with my automatic backup software to store compressed backup files from my laptop. Its very quiet I dont even realize the backup occurs until the software notifies me that the backup is completed I have the software set up on a daily schedule. My phone has an older microUSB port, so I couldnt connect it, but I tried it on my friends phone and it worked just fine totally plug and play. Ive purchased a different SanDisk model to use with my phone. Very happy with this purchase. Just make sure your phone has a TypeC port if you plan to use it with your phone.

Its ok as far as USB memory goes, unit is nice and compact and very smart with the dual USB set up, I do worry that the slider wont last long though, as it appears to be attached by a thin piece of plastic, I do hope I am wrong, but this part of the design seems cheap. Fortunately it was relatively cheap. Design means that sometimes when inserting into a USB slot the device recesses.
Jackie –
Pros Needed this to keep my research on my family history safe, just plug and play the best kind of technical equipment I like.

Pros Dual usb thunderbolt really useful for transferring data
Saif A –
For those reviewers that who said it is slow they probably have never used other USB sticks or their computers have slow USB 2.0 ports.This USB has very fast write performance for its price Blackmagic benchmark for 4G files is about 30MBs longterm and reallife performance is also very good. I had those very small dual USB drives from top brand and some of their write speeds are about 5MBs on average. You can find faster sticks but the size will be larger and be more expensive.This USB stick is good value. Apple store sell a custom made edition of this model but charges 75 for the same 64G capacity.The major issue is that the package doesnt come with a lanyard for connecting the USB with keychain and I have to buy those separately. The position of the connection for lanyard is at the middle of the body which is very odd. But given the priceperformance and the reputation of Sandisk, I can live with that.
Colton M. –
I would definitely recommend this. It has worked perfectly. Ill probably end up grabbing another one of these. USB C is the future and plenty of laptops have already ditched USB A so this will keep you from having to buy another USB in the future.
MacTech48 –
I purchase this usb drive to backup my photos from my android phone because of the new connection USBC. And it works just as advertise. The app from SanDisk is very easy to use. So moving files from your phone to a computer or just backing up photos or everything from your phone, it works great.

Perfect for convenient, reliable, fast and secure transfer of data from my computer to my tablet. And it did not cost an arm and a leg

i carry this all the time. you never know when you need to get a file from one computer to another especially when there no internet. I also carry some portable programs so that a plus too. Love how sleek and small it is, the usb and type C connection is easily accessible.

Item arrived quickly and for less than 16, is a good price for 128GB. On USB3 files are quick to transfer. Overall v. happy with purchase

While you can download an app, I couldnt get that to work. Instead, I simply used the new entry for saving to USB when I attempt to move or copy a photo. It only works 1 photo at a time, which is burdensome if you have many to save, but its still a working alternative for me that I like. I have an Android phone, by the way.
Paul –
I bought this as I needed to create a recovery drive for my new Windows laptop. I needed something bigger than 16GB formatted and went with USB 3 for the faster speed just because this was on closeout and very costeffective.I wont be using the microUSB connector, but this is a nice feature.
GMartin.12 –
I wanted additional external storage for my cell phone and came across this. Although my phone does not have a MicroSD card slot, plugging this into the USBC port did the trick and allowed me to move files from the phones internal memory to this thumb drive instead. Great solution at a great price.

Bought this to record programmes from my smart TV. So easy to use, just plug into USB socket, choose your programme and record. Not sure of memory capacity in terms of tv programmes but I dont keep recordings anyway. Lovely crisp and clear picture with excellent sound quality. I highly recommend this product.
bikemyocum –
Awesome. I wouldnt be without it. Fast and adaptable. From phone to laptop and back again. Makes data management simple. Only misgiving is that it doesnt come with a lanyard. The device is very small in size and easy for me to misplace. So look to getting a third party lanyard or keyring attachment.

Ok, Ill start with the positives. Its a very handy, small USB stick that you can take anywhere with you. With a 256gb storage youll probably never run short of space, and having a retractable USB type C and standard USB connectors its very convenient.However, this is where the positives for me stop. Im a wedding photographer and halfway through the day I transfer all images taken to that point over to my MacBook Pro USBC only. From the Compact Flash cards 160mbs rated read speeds I use a USB C 3.1 adapter and I transfer about 70gb of photos in about 1015 minutes using his method. This is actual times experienced.I then transfer the copy fro my MacBook to this 256gb SanDisk 3.1 drive rated 150mbs read speeds For those who dont know, 3.0 is the same as 3.1 gen 1 in terms of speed. They simply renamed 3.0 to 3.1 for USBC devices.This last process should take 1015 minutes also, but in reality takes over TWO HOURS to complete. Why Why does this take so long compared with the 15 minutes it takes for me to transfer from the SanDisk CF Cards using the very same ports and technologyFor me, this device is absolutely not fit for purpose. If I wanted these speeds Id opt for a USB 2.0 USB drive.SanDisk, any comments

Very convenient. The onboard software which can be easily installed onto a mobile phone is very useful too. Transfer speed is extremely fast. Another good product from Sandisk and competitively priced by Argos.

SanDisc quality as expected, way smaller than you would think its really small which is good for me. The slide is simple, both end fit solid, a lot of Drive for the money. I also have an Apple spin around drive, made by SanDisc, same performance, twice the price but I like the this SanDisc better.

The quality of the drive was great but unfortunately I ordered the wrong type and I returned the item back for a refund to picstop, the service was brilliant and efficient.

Excellent. Small double sided with the regular USB and slides the other way with a USB C connection. Great price.

I purchased 2 of this flash, look like fast file transfers. But, I wish SanDisk make available SanDisk Memory Zone App for iPad pro 11, or all usb typeC iOS user now only android version of the app available. If so I going to love it
Joel –
Having both USBC and USB A connectors make this a much more versatile drive. Many new computers have USBC ports but many have only USBA. This drive makes it easy to share files form my MacBook Pro with only C ports with others who have only A ports.
Douglas –
I find the fact that the usb connector slides back within the device means it sometimes does not insert fully and correctly. I have may SanDisk memory sticks and would not chose one that retracts like this type again.
Marcos –
Ideal for those who have to exchange files between different computers. And even using the same brand of computers, they dont talk to each other thanks Apple with your USBC … so, this flash drive has become an important part of my cable and charger case when I travel or am in House.

I really like it, the connectors stay put inside when it should, so stays protected. The only downside is the lack of a supplied lanyard or keyring.

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.
Richard –
The drive has a slide on the top to select which end, the USB A or the USB C, you want to insert. The slide should lock the end in place so it can be inserted into the device. On two examples of the drive, the lock did not hold and it became difficult to use the USB A adapter unless a finger held the slide in place while inserting. I returned both and am now using a different brand, better designed and better made. Disappointed by this San Disk product.

This is a very reliable brand which I have bought before. This item connects to my samsung phone and my laptop. My only issues are that it seemed a little slow though that may be the fault of my laptop USB connection. Also it works with my phone but it does not show the storage space used. It always tells me it is still updating this figure. It copies phone files correctly.

Great little device for transferring data between laptop phones tablet with fast write transfer speed. The only issue I have is I feel its a little flimsy you have to hold type c connection when using with tablet phones, the USB side holds fine, so thats why only 4 stars

I have other sandisk drives which are great but this one was either faulty or didnt get on with Mac High Sierra. I tried to format to exFAT for MacWindows comparability but the drive either refused to mount or required fixing every time it was plugged in. It also got very hot and caused Windows 10 to freeze several times after being plugged in. Returned for a refund I wont risk getting a replacement.

Bought this for a new phone which has a usb c port and no card slot. Testing it first on my pc under a usb 3 port, it was sooo slow the cheapo 3 pack of usb2 flash drives I own were twice as fast as this pos. Do not buy. Complete garbage. A simple adapter is cheap and works with usb3 drives. This is like buying a pager to make and take calls.

Basically the totally, but this thing is super handy when you have to move files of your phone or any thing really, 32GB is perfect for moving pictures, movies, or any other file or document of a device such as a phone. Just make sure your phones charger port can do data transfer
bmansmith –
I bought this product so that i could use in it my car for mp3 files as well as plug into my Galaxy S8 to upload and download files. Once loading all the files, the drive could not be read by either of my vehicles. They would play for a couple of seconds and freeze if they played at all. I looked in some forums and found many other people that were having the same issue to no avail. I decided to keep it just for file storage but there probably should have been some warning against using it for the purpose i bought it for.

The speed is very decent. It actually connects not only to USBc from your cell phone but also that from a computer. One annoying point is that you might want to be careful when plugging it in as the the plastic may break. Kind of fragile

I have been using this USB flash drive for about 68 months on a daily basis, in some cases quite IO intensive within reason for a USB flash drive and overall happy with its performance and reliability to date. The most important thing for me which this drive was able to solve was the ability to easily switch between USB TypeA and TypeC without having to carry any adapters.My biggest concern with this drive is that it runs quite hot, and sometimes needs to be left to cool down before touching the metal parts on it. Only recently, the locking mechanism has loosened up, which usually stops the connector from sliding when plugging it in, but now requires some extra effort. I suspect this may be from the heat and the plastic slightly warping inside. Given the fact it does run hot does make me question its expected life before failure, so make sure you keep a backup
