SANDISK Ultra Dual Drive Luxe 256GB, USB-C+USB-A, Up to 150MB/s Read Speeds

Picked this up on offer and really happy with it for the price. It’s smaller than I expected when it arrived — more compact than the pictures suggest — but that’s not a bad thing, it’s easy to carry around and barely noticeable on a keyring or in a pocket. The reversible Type-C and Type-A connectors are genuinely handy for moving files between my phone, tablet and laptop without needing an adapter. Build quality feels solid too, all metal casing. One thing to note: it does get a bit warm during longer transfers, but it’s never been an issue or affected performance for me — just something to be aware of. Overall, great value for money especially if you catch it on offer. Recommended.

I needed a USB-C flash drive for my Quest 3 VR headset to store my movies, and the Sandisk USB-C Flash Drive ticked all my boxes. I opted for the 256GB version in a gold finish, and I'm glad I did. This is one solid, high-quality, metal USB-C flash drive. After it arrived, I immediately formatted it to exFAT and loaded it with 3D movies for VR use. The average transfer speed ranged from 70MBps to 230MBps. When I connected it to my Quest 3, the flash drive was immediately recognized by the SkyBox VR player (note: the Bigscreen Beta doesn't support flash drives yet). Note for all Quest 3 users: You need USB-C 3.2 to be recognized by your VR headset and SkyBox VR player. I also tested this USB-C flash drive with Samsung mobile phones running Android, and the connection was immediate. This drive can also be used as a backup for your gallery and other files. My only complaint is that, due to its small size and full metal body, this thing gets very hot! So be aware of that. Otherwise, I'm giving it 5 stars because it is solidly built and looks more expensive than what I paid for it.

I needed a USB drive for my pc which could has USB and USB-C since not every device has USB these days. I bought the 128GB version and It's had about a week of use now. I really enjoy the build quality as its made of very durable and high-quality metal. The speeds are very solid with it's peak being around 140-50ish MB/s. I only have 2 complaints. Firstly when using it, it can get VERY hot as I think that it's metal shell is used as it's heatsink, it doesn't get hot enough to burn your hand but enough to give you a bit of a shock. My second complaint is about compatibility, for some reason it refuses to fit into my S22 Ultra. I have tried it with other phones and it works perfectly, but it just won't fit in my S22 Ultra. In conclusion I think this drive is worth getting epically if you need the USB to USB-C compatibility. Thanks for reading, hope you have a great day :)

What an awesome little flash drive. I am very picky when it comes ro tech but this is so much smaller and fancier than I thought it would be. Absolute bargain for it's ability and capacity. Will only be buying these from now.

I use this with my Meta Quest 3 and it has worked very well for transferring and accessing files. The USB-C connection plugs directly into the headset, while the standard USB connection makes it easy to move files to and from a computer. Transfer speeds have been good, and the metal casing feels sturdy without making the drive unnecessarily bulky. A convenient dual-connector memory stick for custom content, sideloading and general file storage.

Everyone was buying the plastic version which was great during Prime as I got the Luxe for even cheaper. Less than €40.00 😀 It doesn't look gold. It looks like brass color (great) it will outlast the plastic version forever (great). People say it gets hot. Yes but here's why. It's basically a metal heat sink wrapped around the memory chip. It dissipates the heat that would otherwise impact read/write speeds. The plastic one can't. As it is plastic. The USBA side on the plastic one is micro thin so it will eventually crack. The Luxe is solid metal so it won't. It is also very premium looking as opposed to a flimsy little bit of plastic. Luxe has a bit more weight to it (great) and it works with my ipad, my Iphone 17, my Dell XPS, my MacBook pro M4 and my Nvidia shield. One tiny negative is it should come with a dust cover for the inputs as one side will be exposed to dust and lint etc and it should come with a nice SanDisk lanyard. It doesn't. So far I moved 4gb off my iphone in less than four minutes using it. Watched movies in it on my ipad and used it on my windows laptop and on the MacBook. Very very happy 😀

Update: Compared to the four SanDisk Ultra USB A/C drives I have of the older style (plastic housing with the push and slide a button to reveal the A or C part function rather than the swivel this has), of which half of them are no longer functional and lost all my data, this one at least hasn't failed (yet). That and the premium aesthetic of it are about the only positive things I have to say about it though. It is incomprehensibly slow. I think the USB 2.0 flash drive I had fifteen years ago performed faster than this. It gets absolutely scalding hot pretty much immediately after plugging it in, looking inside a folder of what I'd previously managed to somehow transfer to the drive takes literally a minute or longer to load the contents, and just now I tried copying six files totalling 14GB across to it to transfer from one laptop to another - it spent MINUTES on the "preparing to copy" stage, then eventually got to 67.1MB copied, didn't progress any further, and was still estimating the time remaining. I then decided to just use AirDrop for the files instead, which got the job done in seven or eight minutes, while this SanDisk drive was still processing the cancel request... I'm now trying to run the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test on it while writing this review, which is stuck and now frozen with the write needle displaying a whopping 13.8MB/s. Quite how SanDisk can claim this is capable of up to 400MB/s is beyond me, it is without a doubt the worst performing flash drive I have ever owned. Original review: Bought it a little over a year so as to conveniently transfer things between my phone and laptop, so it hasn't been used or plugged in much, probably at most twenty hours of total usage. Much like my other SanDisk flash drives, it's absolutely terrible. Takes forever to mount, takes forever to unmount, takes forever to load what's on it in Finder, takes forever to open anything stored on it, certainly wouldn't trust it with any data that matters because it appears to be so horribly unreliable. Absolute waste of money and the last straw for me with SanDisk, I'll be looking into other manufacturers for flash storage from now on.

I purchased the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe specifically to use with my iPhone 15 Pro Max. On paper, this is the perfect solution for offloading large photos and videos, and the all-metal design feels very premium and durable. However, the user experience has been disappointing. I downloaded the official SanDisk app as instructed, but the drive simply is not recognized. No matter how many times I reconnect it or restart the app, it fails to function. What I’ve noticed: • Build: The swivel design and metal casing are excellent. • Software: The official app seems poorly optimized for the latest iOS/iPhone 15 hardware. • Workaround: Interestingly, I can sometimes see the drive through the native iOS "Files" app, but the dedicated SanDisk software—which is supposed to manage backups—is completely unresponsive for me. It’s a beautiful piece of hardware, but if the software doesn't work, the "Luxe" experience isn't worth much. I hope SanDisk releases a firmware or app update soon to fix these connectivity issues. A quick tip for you: Since you have an iPhone 15 Pro Max, you actually don't need the SanDisk app for basic file transfers. Apple’s native Files app (the blue folder icon) is much more stable. 1. Plug the drive into your iPhone. 2. Open the Files app. 3. Tap Browse at the bottom right. 4. Look under Locations—your SanDisk drive should appear there.

çok kaliteli ve şık bir ürün

Excelente producto. Las tasas de transferencia son muy buenas. El material de metal es de muy buena calidad y elegante. A diferencia de su versión de plástico, esta tiene una protuberancia que sirve como seguro y de esta manera la "tapa" no gira ni se suelta. Se calienta cuando haces grandes transferencias, pero se disipa casi de inmediato. 128 G por 350 pesos, es una ganga. Ampliamente recomendablep

The write speed isn't above 100mbs/sec while the read speed is good around 360mbs/sec.

Trop pratique, usb c d'un côté Usb 3.1 de l'autre, petite clé de chez Sandisk (le meilleur) prix attractif et produit de HAUTE qualité.

Compré este pendrive porque necesitaba una forma más sencilla de mover archivos entre distintos dispositivos, especialmente entre móviles, ordenadores y tablets. Después de usarlo, la verdad es que me parece un dispositivo increíblemente práctico. USB-C y USB-A en el mismo dispositivo Para mí, este es su gran punto fuerte. Tener en el mismo pendrive conexión USB-C y USB-A facilita muchísimo las cosas. Antes muchas veces necesitaba usar un dispositivo intermedio, un adaptador o pasar primero los archivos a otro equipo. Con este pendrive puedo extraer o mover archivos directamente desde el móvil y luego conectarlo al ordenador sin mayor problema. Velocidad de transferencia La velocidad me ha parecido muy buena para el uso que le doy. Por ejemplo, un vídeo de unos 8 GB suele tardar aproximadamente 5 minutos en transferirse, lo cual me parece más que correcto. No lo compararía con un SSD externo, pero como pendrive compacto y versátil cumple muy bien. Uso real Me resulta especialmente útil cuando voy a eventos, tengo que rescatar vídeos o fotos desde un móvil, o quiero pasar archivos grandes sin depender de la nube, del correo o de cables adicionales. Es pequeño, fácil de llevar y resuelve un problema muy concreto. Diseño y comodidad El diseño giratorio también me parece práctico, porque protege los conectores y permite cambiar de USB-C a USB-A de forma rápida. Es de esos accesorios pequeños que terminás usando mucho más de lo que pensabas. Conclusión Muy satisfecho con la compra. Es rápido, cómodo, compacto y muy útil si trabajás con varios dispositivos. Para pasar fotos, vídeos o documentos entre móvil, tablet y ordenador me parece una solución excelente. No le encuentro grandes puntos negativos para el uso que le doy. Cinco estrellas.
