Rufus loads up an entire Windows 10 ISO to it in like 90 seconds flat; good stuff. Durability: no idea, but it's Sandisk and they're generally pretty good, at least I've had good experiences when stealing my girlfriend's Sandisk Ultra USB sticks. The build quality does feel good on this though, being all metal it doesn't feel like it's going to flex or bend when plugged in. It also addressed my main concern of the swivelling mechanism just flopping around all over the place, but it actually 'locks' in at each end with a decisive click which is very satisfying indeed. It does get toasty to the touch... Like not burn yourself hot, but hot enough to where you have to trust that you won't burn yourself. Presumably, this is because the metal case is conducting the heat away from the internals, rather than insulating it like a plastic case would, and it probably isn't any better or worse than anything else, I just haven't owned a fast enough USB stick before for it to feel as hot as this one does. Finally (assuming it lasts), this is proper good value for money - I still vaguely recall when 32GB was a huge memory stick and would cost a small fortune, but for ~£15 for a 128GB stick that can plug into basically anything... Man, lucky times hey. Review: Solid and Stylish: The Perfect USB-C Flash Drive for Quest 3 and More! - I needed a USB-C flash drive for my Quest 3 VR headset to store my movies, and the Sandisk USB-C Flash Drive ticked all my boxes. I opted for the 256GB version in a gold finish, and I'm glad I did. This is one solid, high-quality, metal USB-C flash drive. After it arrived, I immediately formatted it to exFAT and loaded it with 3D movies for VR use. The average transfer speed ranged from 70MBps to 230MBps. When I connected it to my Quest 3, the flash drive was immediately recognized by the SkyBox VR player (note: the Bigscreen Beta doesn't support flash drives yet). Note for all Quest 3 users: You need USB-C 3.2 to be recognized by your VR headset and SkyBox VR player. I also tested this USB-C flash drive with Samsung mobile phones running Android, and the connection was immediate. This drive can also be used as a backup for your gallery and other files. My only complaint is that, due to its small size and full metal body, this thing gets very hot! So be aware of that. Otherwise, I'm giving it 5 stars because it is solidly built and looks more expensive than what I paid for it. ## Features - The all-metal casing, 2-in-1 flash drive with a reversible USB Type-C and a traditional Type-A connector. - Seamlessly move content between your USB Type-C smartphone, tablet and Mac and USB Type-A computer. - Free up space on your USB Type-C smartphone so you can take more photos. - Automatically back up photos using the SANDISK Memory Zone app. - High-performance USB 3.2 Gen 1 drive with up to 400MB/s ultra-fast read speeds lets you quickly move your files to your computer.

I would like to inform you that the connection is 2-in-1 flash drive with a reversible USB Type-C and a traditional Type-A connector. If you have any additional questions regarding our products you may contact us via our support email: english_support@sandisk.com and provide us with the date of this post. Best regards, Shira SanDisk Global Customer Care **Q: Is this compatible with ipad pro 5th edition? and i can download abs transfer files from the ipad to elsewhere? thanks** A: Yes, but it's very slow and will become very warm, especially if the files are large (for example a movie) You have to use the Files app built in to the iPad, another file manager like Readdle Documents will not recognise it. **Q: Is the cover meant to 'wobble' and make a rattle noise when holding the usb end and shaking? if so, this is very poor build quality for the price** A: I have been using this for more than 2 years and is very happy with it. Yes the rotating cover is not firm and "loose", but for nd it's fine. If you feel it's not yo your liking you can always have it replaced or get a refund from seller. **Q: I have a iphone7 i want a memory stick can tranfer pics to and store on the stick as i don’t own a pc. which is best. thanks iam clueless.** A: It could be possible, but.....the Flash Drive has USB-C and USB 3 connector only. Your iphone I think only have a lightning connector. So first you have to get a Lightnkng to USB-C converter and may need to format the drive to take apple file format. You may be better off using a cloud service instead. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quick...

The only downside is that it gets incredibly hot during usage. Not simply warm. Hot to the point of being uncomfortable to touch. How this will impact the life of the unit, only time will tell but it doesn't help its usability.
