This USB Type A is perfect for watching your home movies on your television set, while the USB-C is perfect for transferring your home movies onto this drive.
The problem is that there are a bunch of files included that I wound up deleting to create more usable space and reduce clutter when navigating from a television to browse your home movies.
But the really bad problem is the pivot on the handle because it becomes seriously loose over time and will not lock into place.
Overall, it's the nicest dual-port USB flash drive ever made.
I have a SanDisk Ultra Luxe Dual 128GB Flash Drive. The write speed of this thing is terrible at just 22MB/s. That's just awful and Sandisk calls it Luxe. There is nothing Luxe about 22MB/s in 2023.
At first look, the drive seems premium with advertised speed of 150MB/s, but that is just read and Sandisk conveniently left out write speed from their site and all documents. Also, benchmark tests shows write speed at 69MB/s which pretty decent
However, when copy a large file like 10GB it starts at 69MB/s and then slowly drops to 22MB/s. I thought some cache was getting filled. However, when I did a benchmark it was more clear. The first two bench mark gave me 69MB/s write.
r/computers - SanDisk Ultra Luxe USB Type-C Dual 128GB Flash Drive write speed drops to 22MB/s
Frist benchmark
Then from 3rd it dropped to 25MB/s for no reason.
r/computers - SanDisk Ultra Luxe USB Type-C Dual 128GB Flash Drive write speed drops to 22MB/s
Third benmchmark
The drive was not getting too hot. Just normal working temp for a metal flash drive. This happens when connected to both USB 3.0 and USB C ports. The device I am using has a NVMe drive so there is no throttling there.

This drive suddenly forced an eject while I was using Logic Pro on my MacBook Air. When I plugged it back in, it was recognized as an unreadable 64 MB drive under the name "SanDisk Anisha Media" that needed to be formatted. From what I've read online, this is an issue that occurs when the NAND disconnects from the controller, and it's concerning that it happens so frequently on multiple types of drives. However, the main issue is that this drive does not seem to have an easy way in, unlike others. 30 out of 32 GB were being used for important samples that I need to finish multiple projects. All of this data currently seems unrecoverable.

I legitimately received a (minor) burn wound from leaving it in contact with my skin during no actual usage other than it being plugged in. But at least it's fast I guess.

It works great for the first time only. I have copied a file from my mobile through Type C to my mobile computer (USB). Then my phone can't recognize it anymore when I plug it into my phone again. It works fine if I use it for a computer by using the USB. I don't know why but it means nothing if I can't use it for my phone!
