  • Fast, Reliable, and Sleek—Exactly What I Needed!
Size: 256GB
I bought the SanDisk Ultra Flair 256GB USB 3.0 to handle large media files and backups, and it’s exceeded every expectation. The transfer speeds are blazing fast—moving gigabytes of data in seconds—and it’s been rock-solid reliable across multiple devices. I especially love the sleek metal design: it feels premium, fits easily on a keychain, and doesn’t overheat during heavy use. Whether you're storing high-res photos, videos, or important documents, this drive delivers performance and peace of mind. No hiccups, no lag, just plug-and-play perfection. Highly recommend for anyone who needs serious storage in a compact, durable package. ... show more

  • Sleek Metal with a Burning Problem
Size: 128GB
The SanDisk is a stylish, metal-clad drive that feels far more premium than its budget price tag, offering a reassuring durability that plastic competitors simply lack. For everyday tasks like moving documents or grabbing a movie to watch on a TV, the read speeds are snappy and reliable, making it an excellent addition to any keychain thanks to its sturdy loop. However, that sleek metal casing acts as a heatsink, and it gets alarmingly hot during use—often becoming uncomfortable to handle if you’ve been transferring data for more than a few minutes. This thermal issue isn't just a tactile annoyance; it directly impacts performance, causing write speeds to throttle and crawl during large file transfers as the drive struggles to cool down. It is a fantastic, nearly indestructible option for quick, light tasks, but if you plan on backing up massive folders, patience and a high heat tolerance are required. ... show more

  • Great Storage Media!
Size: 16GB
I only use Sandisk USB Ultra Flair drives, maybe a Cruz here and there. Never had any problems with them, rock solid. They do get fairly warm, being so small. Really warm. But it doesn't seem to affect them at all, as I've have some going on 4 years now. Good storage at a good price.

  • It's a thumb drive that works well.
Size: 256GB
Good storage at a decent price. I needed to buy a thumb drive to create a windows reboot media. I know 256gb is overkill for that, but I'll eventually use it for storage. No issue at all. Plug it in. Computer reads it. Good to go. Decent speed. Be careful though as during the windows install the drive did get fairly warm. The drive is small (maybe too small). Solid plastic construction. Can't ask for much more out of a thumb drive ... show more

  • Great Product
Size: 128GB
nice little thumb drive, love the capacity just wish it has a cover to keep dirt and lint out of the end thus the four stars, otherwise works great, no issues hooking up with our computers, would buy another when needed. I am going to have to update my review to a 5 Star as I left it in my pocket, my wife washed it, and ran it through the dryer. Came out clean and works great. ... show more

  • Fast, Compact, and Reliable Storage Solution
Size: 64GB
Fast, Compact, and Reliable Storage Solution This SanDisk 64GB Ultra Flair USB 3.0 Flash Drive has quickly become my go-to for transferring and storing files. The first thing I noticed is how fast it moves data—USB 3.0 speeds really make a difference compared to older drives. Large video files and photo collections copy over smoothly without long waits. The design is sleek and compact, making it easy to keep on a keychain or slip into a pocket. The metal casing feels solid and more durable than the all-plastic alternatives I’ve owned in the past. I also appreciate that SanDisk includes SecureAccess software for those who want to password-protect files—handy if you plan on carrying sensitive documents. One thing to keep in mind is that the metal body does get a little warm during heavy transfers, but it’s never been uncomfortably hot in my experience. Also, as with any small flash drive, it’s easy to misplace, so I’d recommend attaching it to something you won’t lose. Bottom line: A fast, well-built, and portable flash drive that offers excellent performance for everyday file storage and transfers. Great value for the price. ... show more
