The price is attractive, but I bought one of these last go around and it is quite terrible.
The reviews mention that the mechanism for pushing the connector out is bad and they are right. You literally need to hold the small plastic tab with your thumb to get it to insert, which brings me to problem two.
The usb c connector is VERY tight, to the point where I was very worried it would damage the phone port. I was backing up data on a family members phone, and was able to get the data off, but refused to try and connect it again to reload the data and risk damaging the port. So i connected it to my computer with the USB a, transferred the data, then moved it to a new drive to get it back on the phone.

This drive in particular is horribly designed. The slide is weak and breaks easily. I have one and it over heats rapidly and then speeds drops off dramatically, or it stops working all together until it cools down. Sandisk can't make a decent USB drive anymore. I'd recommend skipping this one and any other Sandisk USBs.

I have had the small capacity version of this for years.
It's good, not great.
It has been on my keychain the whole time and held up decently.
Agree that the push lock is mediocre, it does fail after a while so you hold the slider while inserting but it's not that big of a deal.
I have never had port/Jack size issues. It is not long/slim enough to work with many cases, but if you have access to a port it works fine.
The speed is ok, not fast. But I'm using this for random phone to laptop transfers, not frequent large file rushes. if you need blazing read/write, this is probably not for you.
my other gripe is the attachment point- it's so small/narrow that it's hard to connect it to anything. i couldn't find a keychain loop to work. you can feed a wire or string through, but it's not convenient
Bought this back in May of 2020 for slightly more and it still holds up well. I would buy another but I think my drive drawer is full enough ... For now.

Hard pass on this one.
Same, I was so uncomfortable plugging the USB c side into my phone because of the amount of pressure needed. I would also like to add that the download speed was pretty slow too. I can't remember the speed because I immediately gave it away to a friend.

Thinking about buying one of those cheap micro SD readers with a USB c adapter. Micro SD cards are always going on sale. https://www.ebay.com/itm/14481863...medi
