SANDISK Extreme Go USB 3.2 Flash Drive 64GB (Up to 395 MB/s read speeds, up to 100MB/s write speeds, High speed memory stick, SANDISK Secure Access, RescuePRO Deluxe, durable casing) Silver/Black

I bought this SanDisk Extreme Go USB drive specifically for my ASUS router running Merlin firmware. I use it to offload system storage and run custom add-ons, logs, and background services, with the goal of improving router performance and stability. This is a very different use case from normal file storage, as it involves constant read and write activity. What worked: This drive has been excellent for this purpose. The Extreme Go model is designed to handle sustained read and write operations, which is precisely what a router environment needs. Performance has been fast and stable, with no issues handling continuous logging or system access. The build feels solid, and it has behaved exactly as expected for a device that is under near constant use rather than occasional file transfers. For this kind of workload, it stands out from cheaper USB sticks that are not designed for ongoing activity. What didn’t: Nothing so far. For my use case, it has performed exactly as needed. Would I recommend it: Yes, especially if you are using it for advanced or technical purposes like routers, servers, or systems that constantly read and write data. For normal file storage, it is still a great USB drive, but it really shines in scenarios where cheaper drives tend to fail or corrupt over time. Final note: This USB stick has handled more constant activity than most home routers see in their lifetime, and unlike cheaper drives, it has not had a meltdown under pressure.

It’s incredibly fast for such a small size! The speed is faster than a SATA II SSD but just shy of a SATA III SSD (read speed). It barely heats up compared to SanDisks other flash drives. The write speeds are not as impressive but for myself I’m fine with that as I won’t be doing much writing to the drive. The only thing I would change is the ability to bring the flash drive in and out of its shell as when I’m trying to put it into a computer the USB connector hides as I push it into the port (when my finger is resting on the back of the flash drive). My read speeds averaged at 420 mb/s and write speeds of 80 mb/s

Slow to boot ubuntu off. Got this as a mid ground faster disk for an ubuntu boot disk. Random access was too slow.

Fantastic speed

Good product with fast speeds which is needed now in 2024 only wish the storage increases were cheeper

Good

The up and down sliding mechanism is difficult to use, unless you know the exact position to press on. I used this as an operating system. Unfortunately, it seems to have died after being used as month.

I've just tested the write speed of the new "SanDisk Extreme Go 64GB USB 3.2 395MB/s read,100MB/s write" and to my shock it really does have the write speed they claim. I copied a 24Gb file from my fast M.2 drive to this stick, it copied at a constant speed of between 96 and 99Mb/s. It does get quite warm, which seems to be common for SanDisk.

ممتاز

Cumple con los prometido en velocidad de escritura alrededor de 100Mb/s y en lectura llega a 420Mb/s. Si tiene dificultades para alcanzar esas velocidades conecten la memoria a un puerto USB de la tarjeta madre (3.0 para arriba claro) y también verifiquen que el disco de origen o destino sea un SSD. Si hacen transferencias entre HDD y la memoria USB el cuello de botella será el disco.

Velocità incredibile e ottima capacità. Perfetta per trasferire file pesanti in un attimo. Robusta e affidabile, ideale per lavoro e tempo libero. La uso da settimane senza problemi

This is such a great USB. The quality, design, and space is perfect for my music and production files. Certainly rewarded a 5/5!

DJでの利用です。 購入して2週間も経過していませんがすぐ壊れました。認識しなくなりました。 レコードボックスから曲の取り込みのみしか使ってません。 CDJ3000でのプレイを2回やったあとから、認識しなくなり、現在はMacBookにも認識しません。 サンディスクの他の価格の安いUSBメモリは数年使えているが、今回は過去に比べて1番高価なのに、、、、
