SanDisk - Ultra Fit 128GB USB 3.0 Type A Flash Drive - Black/Silver

Had laptop issues so I had to transfer just under 100 gb from the bad laptop HD onto a thumbdrive. This took all info flawlessly. But man, is it small! Came w/no lanyard or string to attach it to and as you can see by the pic it's literally the size of a dime. It does come w/a clear cover but that's no bigger than the drive. It looks like there is actually an area on the thumb to loop in a string or something to not have it just sitting there, so small. And my pic shows what I did which was find a small clear package to store it in; anything is better than just putting the cover on it and leaving it like that because it will get lost that way. Best Buy does offer cheap cases w/ key ring, so there's that. Also if you do buy this based on performance, keep in mind the price. This was a Deal of the Day exactly when I needed it; I bought it for $29.99, savings of $90...I never would have bought it at regular price

First of all, this thing is small. Super small. When plugged into the 3.0 port on my tower, the semi circular end sticks out maybe 1/4 inch. Great for a laptop I would imagine. Secondly, I bought this to backup photos from my Macbook Pro.(network sharing makes this very easy) It was formatted FAT32(I believe) and initially I wasn't able to download pictures to it. FAT32 has an 8GB max file transfer limit, and my transfer was much larger than that. What I did(Windows 10 by the way) was to create a new folder on my desktop, drag and drop contents of the drive to that folder, and then reformat as NTFS. That way I saved what was sent with the drive(in case I needed it in the future) as reformatting the USB will wipe it of all content. This review is obviously for people like me who aren't IT professionals, but like to learn how things work. Once reformatted, the transfer went off without a hitch. Some reviews mentioned this thing getting hot. It's been running for about an hour now(58GB is the total transfer) and it's about 40% done. The USB is slightly warm at most. Overall, very impressed with this product. It's working perfectly for my needs, and easily adds 128GB of storage space to my desktop by utilizing the 3.0 USB port. Got it on sale for $30, and in my opinion, that was money well spent.

I have a 64GB drive just like this one. Is great size and great speed when I need to transfer files. I got a great deal on the 128GB and works as great as the other one. I strongly recommend it to any one.

I got this usb to use it as my main "hard drive" since the SSD on my mac air 2014 quit. I just installed Mac OS X in it and it's been working greatly since then (2 months or so ago). The size (it has to be plugged in all the time) and the speed (3.0) allow me to keep running everything I did before. Note that the speed won't be as fast as the SSD but it's good enough even when running scripts or compiling code for class.

I purchased this product primarily for its size. I use a 12 inch MacBook for college and use a USB 3 to USB C adapter to use flash drives. The product works very efficiently, although it does get warm while transferring files. The size of this drive is a perfect fit for my adapter and makes using a flash drive on my Mac much less awkward. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Most USB 3 flash drives are fast enough to run Windows from, and this one is also small enough that you don't need to worry about knocking it out of the USB port.

Okay, I am a techie. I like to use things not as directed. I specifically buy micro sized usb drives for os drives. I have the original sandisk cruzer fit (not the ultra) and it is absolute garbage. It is the slowest flash drive ever to exist. I am not joking. So I went reshopping. I decided I wanted a usb 3.0 since usb 2.0 drives are going slower and slower. Seriously 3 mb/s is ridiculous even for usb 2. So I bought the cruzer ultra fit 32 and 64gb (but assume it works the same for the 128 version). This is what I wanted! Fast fast 130mb/s transfers. Yes it does get slightly hot, but not bad. Let me explain this misconception further... I use this as my windows os drive. Yes you read that right! I do not use hdd's or ssd's in my modern computers in case of theft/malicious code drive isolation. Now a usb 2 port on your computer this would be slow. But with a usb 3.0 port, you can run windows as fast as an ssd (not exactly, but still faster boot and os use than a mechanical hdd. I am going to pick up a another cruzer ultra fit, the 128 this week. I have the 32gb which i run androidx86 with, the 64gb is my windows drive, and the 128 will be my linux drive. I fully recommend this product. Sandisk redeemed itself even though I am still questioning whether the cruzer fit original usb 2.0s were dumbed down to "influence" people to buy the 3.0 drives. Planned obsolescence? Anyway, I recommend this drive if you want something that fits close to flush so it doesnt break off, and the fact you can run operating systems at speed is exactly what I wanted! 5 stars.

I got this USB drive for my Chromebook in anticipation of the Play Store update coming in a few months. My Chromebook doesn't have an SD card slot, and typical USB drives stick out too much to be convenient to just let sit in there as augmented storage forever. This solved both problems by giving me 128GB extra (believe it's about 118GB actual) and sticking out about half a thumbnails length from the USB port. I can still easily place and remove my Chromebook from my case which is a fitted size for it. Would love to see bigger capacities from Sandisk, especially if they go on sale as often as this one goes for!
