SanDiskUltra Flair USB (2 Pack) 3.0 32GB Flash Drive High Performance SDCZ73-032G-G46 - with (1) Everything But Stromboli (tm) Lanyard

It is a USB stick, not much to say other than it is genuine SanDisk and they work quite well.

I was expecting a rather beefy plastic covered USB Stick drive, but what arrived is a very tiny USB device. Also after using it for just a few minutes, it got really HOT!!!! I'm not sure how that will affect the life of the drive, but traditionally HEAT is NEVER good for electronic devices. I guess time will tell. That may be the reason for only a 5 year warranty on these. My last one I believe had a lifetime warranty, and I had to use it after about 6 years as the drive just died one day.

Good quality, good speed. what is not to like?

These drives are a good value and pretty fast (see below for more info.) They also look nice, although the metal understandably gets scratched from being inserted. I'm a student and keep the drive on my keychain, so it gets a little abuse and exposure to the elements but it's been going strong since June 2016.My only concern is that they get pretty warm when being used, especially over USB 3.0. They aren't burning hot or anything, but I've never owned a flash drive (metal or otherwise) that did this. (I also find the included "Everything But Stromboli" lanyard to be kind of strange but that's neither here nor there.)***Testing info:***I used the USB FlashBench software to measure the actual performance against the manufacturer's claims of 150 MB/s speeds and 15x faster than USB 2.0 (also to detect counterfeits.)On my computer the drives read data at about 141 MB/s and write at 101 MB/s over USB 3.0. On USB 2.0, they read at 29 MB/s and write at 19 MB/s. In other words, they're about 5x faster over USB 3.0. These speeds are comparable to other fast drives and for the price I'm totally happy with that.

Using these to boot Unraid servers. They're compact, but metal for better heat dissipation, and include the necessary USB serial number for Unraid to license against. (I previously tried a SanDisk FIT which was tiny, but did not have the serial number so was completely incompatible). These are easier to manage anyway, especially with tight ports or large fingers, and small enough they don't stick out like a dangerous sore thumb from the back of the case. In fact they're completely obscured (and thus protected) by the mouse or keyboard cable.

I love this item. It does whatever I need it to do, at a reasonable price. When my previous instance suddenly stopped working, it seemed fairly obvious it was because I had been keeping it in my back pocket, and apparently sat on it inadvertently, bent it out of shape, and destroyed it. So, don't to that.I highly recommend this product.

Been running them with no issues. Only thing they do get hot
