I decided to find out. I was removing and consolidating my media from several overloaded computers. The speed of offloading the computers was stunning compared to the cheap bargain USB memory sticks I have purchased in the past.

Very reliable brand. Using for media storage on my brother's TV for when the internet goes down in the nursing home. He can't get up to load DVDs, so we keep this USB plugged in all the time. Holding up great! Stores 800+ movies & shows. My brother is ecstatic! I'm very pleased.

Only reason for 4 stars is that the plastic shell is vulnerable to breakage if the drive is sent unprotected in the mail. Ive switched to Sandisk Flair flash drives from B&H, which consist of a metal housing with only the loop at the end being made of plastic. Far more durable for my needs.

Yes, I would recommend this flash drive to others. It's a great bang for the buck and has good security software. Honestly, the only reason to buy a SanDisk product is for the software. A 5 year warranty is good too. I really wish other colors were an option. The shape of this is strange too.

I really like the SanDisk SecureAccess software, which is the main reason that I bought this; It's basically the SanDisk modified version of ENC DataVault; The software from ENC is $14.99 for a license that works on 3 devices.

I really hate the colors of SanDisk flash drives; Black is horrid for computer products because it shows dust and dirt like crazy and it's ugly; In the 1990's computer products were often beige and even that was less ugly.

Purchased this as a storage device for my smart TV. Plugged it in and it worked, what else is there to say about a memory stick.. I suppose for my purpose it is physically a little large but for most purposes it is large enough not to get lost easily and not too large to store.
