SanDiskSDCZ50-032G-G46T Cruzer Blade 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive, 3 Pack

Bought to share photos with the family.Good value.

Great little things for recording essential bits and bobs. I would have given 5 stats if they were easier to label.

I've bought and used these types of SanDisk flash drives in various capacities and including a three pack like this.Not had a problem with any of them - they read and write reliably even after considerable use for mostly backup purposes.Speed for USB 2.0 is OK, nothing more, but I'd put reliability and a fair price at each capacity ahead of speed. Build quality again is just OK, they're lightweight and have no protective caps. They do not strike me as the sort of flash drive you would chose if you're looking for something robust to hang on a key chain despite having the mount to do that.They are no frills, general purpose USB 2.0 flash drives and if you treat them with reasonable care they should last for years. At least that is what I've found.EDIT 15.03.22Sorry to say I am going to have to modify this review and take off two stars. After reading one of the other reviews here complaining of "....terrible transfer speeds......" I was prompt to do my own tests using the well known drive speed testing tool : CrystalDiskMark.The results, see attached pictures tell the tale. Whilst sold as basically the same flash drive these Cruzer Blades have pretty clearly had their performance altered with each iteration. The most recent one, which includes those in this 3 pack, are designated SDCZ50-32G G46T. That is the same as the other 3 pack I bought in December 2021.The read speed is clearly, consistently very good, over 30% better than any other USB 2.0 flash drives I've tested including the Cruzer Blades I bought in September 2021. But the write speeds are indeed now appallingly slow. The 3 pack bought in December 2021 is, consistently, 30% slower on average and that's being generous.This current 3 pack is even worse.All six SDCZ50-032G G46T Cruzer Blades I own have been tested on two PCs using both v1.1/v2.0 and v3.0 USB ports. These are not one off results, these are genuinely representative comparative speed figures from multiple tests using CrystalDiskMark.Make of them what you will but I can not recommend these current SDCZ50-032G G46T Cruzer Blades. If you can find somebody selling the SDCZ50-032G B35 ones then that is a different matter. Problem is that unless it is marked on the pack with an original genuine Sandisk label and bar code you won't know and sellers won't know either. The flash drives themselves do not show the version.

The nice thing about this product is that it is easy to carry around, small but not too small. Always useful for switching files from one computer to another or for storing stuff long-term. I always take one with me when working away from home, just in case!

Great product, great price.

Capacity was about 32Gb but read and write transfer rates were slower than other memory sticks I use.However, I invested in a name I trust so will put up with the performance deficit.

a good price reliable make

Sadly I've just had these drives for six months, and one has died already. It won't now communicate with my laptop, and refuses to reformat. I can't see a way to complain to the supplier, so resorted to a 2* review and hoping that the other two don't suffer a similar fate!!

Great value USB drives but they are a bit slow.

I got these for transferring files for either editing or to simply watch videos on console they are awesome love the brand and love how simple they are

I use the flash drive for storing photos. Good quality and easy to use.

Bought SanDisk as fed up with cheaper sticks that fail. Have to say that the housing on these are not very sturdy, not what i would expect from this company.

Use these for music in my Van, Quick and easy to use and very good quality

You can’t go wrong with a Cruzer Blade. My go to memory sticks and great value at this price.

Just as advertised and delivery was early.
