SanDiskUltra Dual Drive USB Type-C Flash Drive 256 GB (Phone Storage, For smartphones, tablets, Macs and computers, Retractable Double Connection USB Type-C & Type A, 150 MB/s Transfer rates)

The SanDisk 256GB Ultra Dual Drive is perfect for quickly moving files between my phone, laptop, and Mac. The dual USB-C and USB-A connectors make it super versatile, especially with apple MacBook and the transfer speeds are great. It’s compact, easy to use, and works right out of the box.

Like many of us I have a phone full of videos and photos, happy memories and general stuff that I want to keep. I have also been dragooned in to covering a local no rules football event, Uppies & Downies, taking photos, videos, passing along updates etc, I also take along a camera for these events and find it easier to stick a USB drive into the phone and just copy everything off, it's easier than using internet backup and if the computer is already uploading 600 images from the camera faster as well. I also find it very useful for transferring images and music the other way, It's a compact device, has good transfer speed and plenty of space, just pops up on any of the 4 or 5 Android phones I've used it on and is worth the money. So good that I now have 2 :)

It works and isn't too expensive.Always remember that pen drives are not suitable for long-term storage, they will fail eventually no matter how good they are.

Excellent device. Does exactly what I need at a good price. The two interfaces are very useful, sometimes there is only a USB C slot available and being able to switch between different slot types is great. I bought one to try then bought two more.

This is great, compact in size but spacious in storage. But...the retractor/slider feature is too weak and often you have to hold that into position as you're plugging the device in. This isn't always easy depending on where you're plugging it in.

Early last year I bought the 128 GB version of this, It's great, no trouble connecting with my laptop with the USB A end, and importantly it worked flawlessly with my phone (just a Moto G54 5G) with the USB C connector, coming up in a file manager app just 1 second after plugging it in every time, and ejecting almost instantly. Some months later I decided I really needed a bigger 256GB Flash drive, and bought the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive 'Go' 256 GB as it was flagged as being a newer and faster model - what a mistake. That was OK connecting to the laptop, but was terrible with my phone: half the time it wouldn't connect at all and have to be pulled out and re-inserted, when it did connect it took ages for the file manager on the phone to show it, and it took about half-a-minute to eject. Wondering if it was my phone with the bigger memory flash drive I eventually bought this one, and despite being 256 GB like the 'Go' one, it works brilliantly, just like the 128 GB one. Connects to the phone every time, comes up in the phone's file manager in about 1 second, and ejects almost instantly; and of course you can retract both connectors while on the 'Go' model you can only cover one connector. I really regret buying the 'Go' model first instead of this drive. Pity they don’t do this model in even larger sizes. Anyway - for me, this model and size is brilliant.

Good value from reputable brand.

Gets VERY hot then the transfer speed is non existent. Don't believe the hype.
