I was foolish enough to buy SanDisk.
SanDisk flashdrives get extremely hot and die in months.
The warranty process is time consuming and tedious.
I stick to Samsung flashdrives now.
- b3lvedere 11mo agoCan't say i have the same experiences. The only products to fail me where really really cheap AliExpress devices.
- lazide 11mo agoSandisk in general I’ve had good luck with - but there are a ton of fakes out there. That said, I see no way this drive could dissipate any useful amount of heat at all, so suspicious it would be a problem under sustained write loads. Especially since most use cases likely would never have sustained write loads.
- bloomingeek 11mo agoThe way to tell if it's genuine Sandisk is if you can't get the damn thing out of the package without cussing!
- lazide 11mo agoI agree - I eventually (not just for this case) got some EMT shears, and oh boy. So much less blood hah.
- bjt12345 11mo agoI prefer the SK Hynix Beetle (X31) and Tube (T31) to Samsung flash drives, because internally the are DRAM SSDs, I hope they come out with new models.
- rozab 11mo agoSanDisks are very frequently fake, even in brick and mortar stores. Could it be you had a fake one?
- dawnerd 11mo agoYep, my SanDisk SSD died, was one that had the bad firmware but supposedly a fixed revision. They did RMA it but took about a month. Only using that now for Ventoy, can't really trust it for anything else. Also annoying is they wanted a serial number that they silk-screened on in tiny letters matte black on black. Quick edit: Wasn't a fake either, was bought direct.
