64GB Extreme Go USB 3.2 Flash Drive, High speed USB, up to 395 MB/s read speeds, up to 100 MB/s write speeds, SanDisk Secure Access, RescuePRO data recovery software, durable casing

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

Worked well as advertised

Fantastic speed

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

Good

Struggled to even be formatted. Really slow and the design is really awkward because the outer black plastic move independently and makes it fiddly to do its only purpose, being pushed into a USB port. Died after 3 attempts at formatting. Absolute junk.

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.

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

SDCZ810 64GB Super fast read. CDM reported 421 MB/s read. Write speed is a little lower than I hoped at 73 MB/s but can't complain for this price.

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