The flash drive itself is fairly small and made of smooth metal, I have had to be careful not to fumble it. It does have a place in the end to put it on a key ring or such, so at least it isn’t too hard to keep up with it. Also unlike many other drives it has to be pushed in to the USB port until it will not go in any further, as it has no feature externally or internally to let you know when it is in and properly seated. The drive I purchased is 256 GB and the bigger capacity causes it to feel _very_ hot to the touch as a result of use, but once ejected, it does usually cool off pretty fast. A plus is that it has a metal exterior case made all of one piece, so no plastic case to maybe fall apart as a result of super-heating. This drive also includes a SanDisk Secure Access encryption tool on it, it is pretty easy to use but beware, do _not_ lose your password! You can reset it, but you will lose any previously encrypted files and have to start from scratch if you do. I do believe the drive can be used without the encryption tool and will function as a regular drive. Data transfer rates seem to be fairly quick, however speed will vary depending on the capability of the USB port into which it is inserted (USB 3.0 vs. 2.0, etc.). I use my drive as long-term storage/back-up for important files such as music and family photos, etc., so far I have had no real problems with any performance of the drive (only time will tell how well it really does). I purchased this drive on sale but even had it been full price I feel like I got a very good deal. By the way, I am just a regular owner/user, I wrote the review I did because it is my honest opinion based on my own use of the product.

I recently realized that my old USB drive only held roughly 16GB which is easy to fill up. Plus it was only USB 2.0 and was very slow. So I purchased this one which is plenty of space and is fast.

Great flash drive. I got this on Cyber Monday for a great price. I love the space on this as well as the small size.

SanDisk – Ultra Luxe 256GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive – Silver, Model:SDCZ74-256G-A46… I’ve bought these in the past, they do what they are designed to do, I’ve had no failures. Fast enough, get hot transferring large files without any problems. Metal, small, I use L E G O bricks, different color key chains to keep from loosing and tell them apart. I use for large video files, and have one for MP3s in the vehicle. Lots of space. Recommended

This flash drive is an excellent combination of price point, speed, and capacity, all bundled up in a stylish and tough package. I can’t think of a product that betters it in any meaningful way.

As all the SanDisk items, this is a great product. It provide great storage capacity at a reasonable cost. It is easy to carry and use in various platforms. This would make a great Christmas gift for anyone that needs large storage of data on a small device.
