Model overview based on user reviews
The SanDisk Extreme PRO 3.1 USB flash drive is highly praised for its exceptional speed, with users reporting read speeds of up to 347 MB/s and write speeds of around 299 MB/s. This makes it ideal for quick data transfers, especially for large files or numerous small files, where it outperforms many competitors. The device features a durable aluminum body, though it is prone to scratches and is larger than standard flash drives. Some users noted that the flash drive can heat up during extensive use and may experience a slowdown due to a memory buffer issue when transferring large files. Despite these minor drawbacks, the flash drive's performance and reliability make it a popular choice for those needing fast and efficient data storage solutions.

I must say right away that I use the 128 GB version. I tried about 10 models of competitors - EVERYTHING IS MUCH SLOWER. This flash drive reaches the declared speed at the peak. Real about 350 MB / s for reading, 300 MB / s for writing. The main advantage is that it copies heaps of small files very quickly. While its more expensive competitors dropped to 2-5 MB / s copy speed, this flash drive kept at least 50-70 MB / s. That is, if when copying large files it has competitors in terms of price and speed + -10%, then when copying small files (for example, 5000 photos of 3-5 MB each or heaps of electronic books or a music library), it has no competitors at all. The quality of performance is excellent. Pleasantly lies in the hand. Speed. Volume. I would like it to be the same, but even smaller and cheaper - this, unfortunately, is not possible. |
I bought a 128GB USB flash drive at the beginning of 2020 for approximately 3000~ rubles. I acquired it for quick recovery operations of computers to avoid guessing whether it's the flash drive slowing things down or the old computer. It is mainly used as an emergency flash drive in FAT32 format. After the first low-level formatting, it died in the literal sense, nothing could restore it. I spent two days identifying the issue. It was like the flash drive was completely gone. I returned it with the receipt for the same item. They exchanged it without any issues, all good. The second time, such a problem did not occur, and it works well. Recently, I partitioned the flash drive into two sections: FAT32 (for emergencies) and exFAT for large files. The file transfer progress is interesting. Reading from the flash drive is very fast, at 300MB/s, it was only 15-30% utilized. I won't show CrystalDiskMark, too lazy. But writing large files happens unusually, as if the buffer gets clogged after some time, then it gets a second wind. It's confusing :D Writing to the flash drive reaches up to 300~MB. I'll provide screenshots of the above. - The flash drive is larger than usual. In the photo, the blue flash drive is an 8GB Apacer. P.S. For some reason, screenshots won’t upload. For safety, I’ll share links to the photos. https://prnt.sc/xhqqf4 https://prnt.sc/xhqql8 https://prnt.sc/xhqqoq The speed of file transfers, uploading and downloading information in a short period of time. I can't say if this is specifically a problem with the flash drive or not, but it seems like the SanDisk memory buffer gets clogged, and it slows down when transferring large files. ![]() |
I do video filming and bought this flash drive for quick data transfer from my laptop to my computer or from devices to my computer. It works very fast, and that's the main advantage. I measured the speed with CrystalDisk, and it came out to 299 MB/s write speed and 347 MB/s read speed. Very fast, even though the manufacturer overstated the actual speed. The body is aluminum, but in the middle, it's either plastic or just a thick layer of glossy paint, which scratches quickly. There's a utility for file encryption, you just create a folder and move the files you want to encrypt there. The flash drive isn't small, much bigger than standard flash drives. But what's important to me is that it works quickly, and in this task, it performs at a solid 10+. Fast. File encryption is available. It scratches easily. It's larger than regular flash drives (twice the size). ![]() |
