Got AMAZINGLY hot while writing lots of data. Like I was only able to transfer a bit at a time without it crashing. After looking it up, it appears that this is a common problem with the 128 GB. Does not run as hot when just reading. Snazzy gadget.

I was prepared to like this, and initial speed tests were very positive. It actually delivered the speed advertised on the package, which is unusual in this over-hyped world. And then I actually tried putting data on it. I was able to push across less than 8GB of data before it overheated and disconnected. I tried again, and this time it took less than 1GB of data before it failed, disconnecting and reconnecting multiple times per second for a good 5 or 6 seconds. And this is on my desktop system which has decent airflow -- I don't even want to try it on the system I actually bought it for, which is a converted Chromebook with no fans at all. I had heard the stories about this problem. I had hoped they were extreme edge cases, and/or that it had been fixed in the second generation. Unfortunately neither one is the case. I cannot use it this way, wouldn't trust it not to flake out at the worst possible time, and cannot recommend it to anyone. Avoid the second-generation SanDisk Ultra Fit, it is every bit as problematic as the first generation was. I cannot make this point strongly enough. DON'T BUY ONE! And I say this as a happy owner of several other SanDisk devices.Read full review

I wish I would have read reviews on this before buying one. I have used lots of SD products in the past and always had excellent results. The write speeds are a bit exaggerated depending on which kinds of files and if any compression is used when transferring, BUT it is very fast. The biggest downside to this is OVERHEATING! The other reviews online about the flash drives getting hot enough to burn you are true! I burned my fingers the 3rd time using it to transfer large audio files and then looked online to see if others had this problem and was extremely surprised by how many others had reported this. I usually do a lot of research before shopping online so I am disappointed that I overlooked this problem. I have used this in 1 low grade $400 laptop, 2 high quality PC's, a USB sound mixer and a USB effects pedal for music equipment and I have had mixed results. There have been a couple of times the sound has dropped out during recordings that were longer than 30 minutes which defeats the purpose of my purchasing this. I wanted to use it to record with, but I'm not sure it's an option if there isn't a solution to sound dropouts. I will try using fans or in an air conditioned area to see if there are any differences in performance. Overall, HUGE capacity, but maybe the infrastructure of the design is not actually ready yet in 2017 to handle 128GB of storage. The USB runs at MAX every time you use it so it is basically running like it's about to receive 128GB of data every time you use it, which I highly doubt the average person will do that. If it wrote data in a way that anticipated many small files 20GB then I don't think the overheating issues would occur. Unfortunately, this was a waste of money for me, but I learned my lesson about skipping research before shopping online.Read full review

I have never seen such product, advertised as 150 mbps speed, but actual is far far away. I guess 1 kbps speed. take 10 mins to transfer file of 10 mb to usb from computer folder. Terrible experience. Do not buy this product.

I've got a 1 TB micro-SD card that's several times the capacity, but can only be used in an SD card slot because there are no USB adaptors as small as this. I've got a 64 GB SanDisk Cruzer Ultra Fit that's a bit smaller than this, and I wonder why. And this gets pretty hot, even in my tablet, and I wonder why. But it works. It's fast enough. It's USB. It has enough capacity for what I need. It's very affordable. (Although my 1 TB mSD was only $50.) So I'm happy.
