read the reviews. if you use this a lot and are rough with it the thin plastic housing will crack and break.
Also I've had great burst writes but writing any large files takes foreverrrrr on this drive.
The write speeds are abysmal. I the 128gb version and it's useless. If you want to copy a movie it can take from 30 to 40 minutes.

Quote from Platin465 :
Thanks! Won't waste time and money on this then. Maybe next year 512Gb full-sized drives will be this price. Or cheapo NVMEs and external cases (wishful thinking).
I actually think the cheapo NVME in an external case is the way to go. They are quite large in comparison to a flash drive, though. But I would try to get one with DRAM, to use in an external enclosure.

These drives get super hot and the thin plastic case is prone to cracking. Would look elsewhere.

I've got the 512GB in one of the back USB ports on my Series S. Was a great way to 2x the stock storage and you barely know it's there (vs. buying the overpriced expansion card). S/X Optimized games stay on the internal, everything else is on this. Works great.

Sandisk Ultrafit are notoriously poor quality. Unraid officially recommends against them on their forums and in my own experience they fail quickly. Don't put any data you care about on these!

Sandisk went from making good flash drives to making terrible ones after becoming owned by Western Digital. Also heard they fail prematurely.

I have a 64bg of the same size/type and it gets real hot just idling there in the USB port.
Im not surprised about the fail rate reported here.
