## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does sandisk refer to this as solid state when it is really just a fast flash drive, and why the critical reviews?**
A: SanDisk refers to this as a solid state drive because it is a solid state drive in a flash drive form factor over a USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface.

This device uses a SSD controller over an SCSI-to-USB bridge. A typical flash drive uses an eMMC controller, which optimistically has similar peak read speeds but falls flat with writes, complex workloads, and extended continuous use.

For an example of this distinction in practice, a USB SCSI device such as this can be configured for direct access by a Windows Hyper-V hypervisor. Most USB SSD devices support TRIM and all that I'm aware of support SMART.

As a cautionary note, there are some products that support flash drives that won't support this device or similar. For instance, I once attempted to use a similar device with a printer/copier that could print from flash drives, but the printer didn't support USB SCSI and failed to mount the drive (formatted with a single exFAT partition). It was able to print from an exFAT traditional flash drive.

**Q: Since this usb is 3.1, will the speed be less if I'm using it on the usb 3.0 port on my pc? If yes, by how much?**
A: Short answer - No.  Per USB.org, the terms "USB 3.0" and "USB 3.1 Generation 1" are "synonymous" for the same 2008 technology.  The change from "USB 3.0" to "3.1 Gen 1" was just a (very confusing) marketing/licensing rebranding issue.  So USB 3.0 = USB 3.1 Gen 1 = max 5 Gigabits per second (Gbps) = 625 Megabytes per second (MBps).  Simple ... until 2013 when they introduced the next generation technology at double the speed as "USB 3.1 Gen 2" = max 10 Gbps.  Note the "Gen 2".  So now if you want the older 5 Gbps, look for "USB 3.0" or "USB 3.1 Gen 1" or just plain "USB 3.1".  But if your PC supports it and you want to make sure you're getting the new 10 Gbps technology, absolutely look for the additional "Gen 2" or don't buy it.

**Q: How does the slider on top of this usb stick lock? Do you have to press the slider down or something to move it up and down?**
A: You can extend the connector whether or not you press down on the button.  Once extended, the connector locks in place requiring you to press down on the button to retract it.  However, it's pretty easy to accidentally press down on the button while inserting the drive to your computer or usb hub.  So you must avoid that if you want to insert it easily.  Hold it along the edges or wrap your finger across the back and down the side and you can insert it easily.

**Q: Does this need to be reformatted to store a large single file greater than 4gb**
A: Actually the 256GB arrived exFAT, allocation unit size 1024k, probably ideal for large files such as video. The down side is that if you try to store a large number of files, such as 245,000 jpg that are about 130GB total on my computer, Windows 10 would report not enough space!
The simple solution is to reformat in exFAT with an allocation unit size of 128k or less. Then everything fits since not so much wasted space of each file.

    Almost reaching closer to rated speeds. But not quite.

After owning Sandisk Extreme 64GB USB 3 drive for last 3 years, buying this 256 GB version with improved read/write speeds is a no brainer.Testbed: Intel 6700K, ASUS Maximus IX Z270 Hero, 16 GB RAMInternal SSD: Samsung 950 Pro NVMe M.2 drive to avoid speed bottlenecksTested port: USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A 10Gbps port powered by ASMedia controller.Extreme Pro 256 GB was formatted to NTFS file system with default allocation size.Crystal DiskMark synthetic benchmarkSequential speed:Write speed: 400 MBPSRead speed: 427 MBPSSequential speed tested in Windows 10 file copy (real world performance)Write speed: 323 MBPSRead speed: 421 MBPSAs you can see, the synthetic benchmarks deliver the rated performance. But in real world scenario, write speed falls short by around 60 MBPS. But still this one is one of the fastest USB based flash drive.If you use USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A 5 Gbps port (formerly USB 3.0 port), then you may see slightly reduced speeds.But I would still recommend this drive if you can get past the insane price.That is why one star reduced for lower than advertised write speed as well as high price.Enjoy the speed test photos.

    Super fast performance
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in India on 17 October 2018*

I bought this product when another seller failed to supply Patriot pen drive. I am amazed at the read and write speed of this pen drive. A movie file of 6 GB was copied on it from my Macbook in less than 3 minutes flat. Worth every penny spent on it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Extremely fast and sturdy
  

*by S***. on Reviewed in India on 13 October 2019*

The usb drive is blazing fast. It doesn't give any reason to be disappointed.Build: It has a metallic cladding on the outside, making it extremely durable to free falls and rough usage.Speed: It supports USB 3.1, I could see speeds of 390 MB/s and 310 MB/s for read and write respectively, on my MacBook Pro. Any drive not just this one, shows better speeds when there are fewer but big sized files for transfer, like HD videos. On the other hand having a large number of smaller files like txt files of 2 - 200 KB, it tends to give slower read and write speeds.It can't be completely referred to as value for money as the money spent for this value is too much, but then that's the USP of this drive... SPEED.
