SanDisk 512GB Ultra Dual Drive Go USB Type-C Flash Drive - SDDDC3-512G-G46, Black

I picked up the SanDisk 512GB Ultra Dual Drive Go USB Type-C Flash Drive in the Navagio Bay color as a gift—and ended up getting one for myself and the whole family. It’s the perfect mix of style, speed, and storage.With up to 400MB/s transfer speeds, it handles large files like movies, photos, and backups with ease. The dual USB Type-C and USB-A connectors make it super versatile—great for phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. Whether you're an Android user or juggling different devices like we are, it just works.We’ve taken ours on long trips, and they’ve been a lifesaver for offline movies, documents, and photo backups. Compact, reliable, and stylish—this little drive is a fantastic gift idea for tech lovers or travelers.Highly recommend!

Nothing much to say about this other than it's exactly what it says it is. A very small and high capacity USB-C drive with a swiveling cover. Works great to go between my phone and other USB-C devices! Keep in mind this is very small - if you don't have a secure place to put it, it could easily get lost.

The SanDisk 256GB Ultra Dual Drive Go USB Type-C has been a game changer for transferring files between my laptop and phone. It’s incredibly easy to use, with smooth plug-and-play functionality and fast transfer speeds. The durability is impressive too—I’ve tossed it in bags and pockets without any worry.The quality feels premium, and I haven’t experienced any data loss or corruption even after frequent use. I also appreciate how easy it is to remove from USB-C ports without excessive force or wiggling. For the value for money, this drive delivers top-tier performance and reliability in a compact, dual-interface design. A must-have for anyone juggling devices!

PROS: It's tiny, cute, and I got it on sale. It works as advertised. I moved files from my Win7 PC to my Android Moto Play without any special app or program needed. From Moto to PC works just as easily. My PC has a USB-A port and my Moto has a USB-C port.CONS: The case is thin plastic and is alarmingly flexible. It seats firmly in the USB port of my PC, but must be removed very gently. It gets hot (as others noted) and it is hard to grip, especially if other ports around it are in use. (A similar, metal-cased might item might dissipate heat better, but not so fast..... Reviewers say that gripping that drive too firmly by the USB-A end caused a slight bend that now prevents it from going into the USB port on their PC.BOTTOM LINE: Good for light use and a quick way to move files between phones or between PC and phone. Buy a spare

Very versatile flash drive, if sharing data between older systems and more current year devices...an absolute must.USB-c side is easily recognized by phones and computers a like, the USB-A is great when needing to interface with workstations, speeds of course depend on the connected device and vintage of the female port.

Its amazing how far storage sizes have come. This thing is so tiny and can hold so much data! The usb c and usb a on one device also make it even better!

Works as advertised. Mind blowing how much you can fi on this tiny device, saved my butt, old machine was dying, was able to get on via DOS commands and copy entire My Documents / Favorites, and other important folders over (500gb worth) to this tiny little friend in a short period of time. Well worth the price.

It’s that time of year again when the new iphone is introduced and like a lemming I placed my order withing seconds and now I just got one of the first batch, the new pro max model. While I admire the convenience of just saying yes a few times and having the new phone replicate everything in my old one, which is being traded in, this year is a little different. It has some major changes to the operating system and I decided to start fresh with the tedious task of reinstalling everything. That task can have its dangers though and I’ve spent all morning trying to do a backup to my Macbook and it didn’t go well. So backing up to an external drive seemed even safer, if it worked as I hoped.WHY SANDISKAs soon as I started shopping my eyes started to glaze over, there were pages and pages of thumb drives and for some inexplicable reason most of them still had lightning connectors, which means I would have to use a chancy adapter. I don’t get it, we are at least a couple of generations removed from that now obsolete connector and companies are still selling drives at full price. Then I saw this one from SanDisk and I thought my search was over. This is a brand I have trusted for years and the first thing that caught my attention was that it has the now standard USB-C connector as well as the universal USB-A connector. As my cloud backup is only 8GB I chose one of the smallest sizes I could get, based primarily on the fact that I could get it the same day so I can do my back and start using my new phone.DOES IT WORKThis question has to be either yes or no, it either does the job or it doesn’t. So as soon as it arrived I plugged it in. There’s no need to get into techie specs with something like this, in today’s world there rarely is such a thing as slow. Another thing we expect in today’s world is for something to do the job it was purchased for. On one hand, if judged simply as a thumb drive this one is okay – slightly overpriced and slightly cheesy construction. On the other hand they heavily promote this as a simple plug-in backup device for smartphones. What they don’t make clear is they don’t mean all smartphones. This is clearly intended more for the Android crowd and that’s the biggest strike against it – if plugged in to a current iphone it does absolutely nothing (in terms of self-running a useful backup app). In the tiniest font possible on the back of the hanger card they tell you, after you’ve already bought the product and brought it home, that it may not be compatible will all devices and they give you a website. Unfortunately that link is broken. By now it is clear that this is not what I expected. So I searched their website, which is actually Western Digital’s website, and deeply buried in there (it took about 10 minutes to unearth it) behind a lot of conflicting information I finally learned that to use with an iphone I have to manually locate the Files folder and drag those to the SanDisk … but not all files are located there, it takes a separate task to locate and save photographs, that still leaves some files that I would like backed up. In their FAQ tools they seem to make it clear that this really isn’t a backup drive for an iPhone after all. It sounded too good to be true.YES NO MAYBEI’m splitting my opinion two ways on this. On one hand it is a decent generic flash drive from a company with a good reputation. On the other hand it is basically useless as a plug and play solution to easily backup my Apple phone. Additionally I would like to see a bit more rugged enclosure. The plastic reminds me of the cheap flash drives they give away for free at carnivals and trade shows and does not give me confidence that my data is protected against physical damage. The balance of all that results in a score of three for average, not bad for some uses and not so good for others.
