Too Hot and Too Slow
on September 6, 2021
Posted by: Halbuki
Becomes too hot. Speed barely reaches 30mb/s, it is usually below 6mb/s, and sometimes 0mb/s for a brief duration. E.g. it cannot sustain its speed(!) while transferring a single 1gb
file.

Hello,
I am Jose from SanDisk® Global Support Team. What you are observing is the difference in the definition of one Gigabyte by Operating Systems versus all Storage device manufacturers. Operating systems use a binary system which will present a lower number of GBs than the decimal based system used by Storage Device manufacturers to define the capacity of products. This is due to the binary system representing a GBs as a higher number of actual bytes.
For example: Operating systems define a 1GB as 1,073,741,824 Bytes. Storage device manufacturers define 1GB as 1,000,000,000 bytes.
Also, you may research on the internet by reading tech blogs/ articles to know more about the same. For any other suggestions/ queries regarding SanDisk® products, please feel free to contact SanDisk Support and we would be happy to help!
Noticed my Mac lost battery quicker when I leave the usb in all the time. So, I just eject it when I’m done but leave it in. Works for me. Great price and lots of storage space.
