Hello,
I am Nelson from SanDisk® Global Support Team. We are sorry to hear about your experience. All of our products are manufactured on strong hardware platform to sustain daily usage. However, we regret to learn about your experience. Since you have faced the issue while using the SanDisk Ultra Fit USB Flash Drive it would be best to get in touch with our support team so that we can investigate the issue and help you with the possible warranty replacement if required. You may submit a support ticket at https://support-en.wd.com/app/askweb . We would be more than happy to assist you.
My company Magnia Technology produces bespoke operating systems that provide better privacy and security online. We have been using and selling SanDisk Ultra Fit for many years as our preferred devices for customers running our operating systems.
We tested and compared a lot of flash drives before settling on SanDisk Ultra Fit. In terms of size, speed and reliability they're unbeatable if you're looking for a flash drive as small as possible, durable with very good performance.
We've sold 100's of them to customers all over the world and never had any fail. Western Digital offers a 5 year warranty on them, which shows high confidence in their durability and reliability.
If you want the smallest flash drive possible which is very fast and durable you can't go wrong with Ultra Fit. It's hands down the best small high performance flash drive on the market.
Key benefits:
- Size. Thumbnail sized smallest big-brand flash drive on the market. - Speed. USB 3.2 the fastest spee up to 130MB/sec speed on modern computers. - Durability. Small size and case design makes them hard to damage or break. - Reliability. Five year warranty, failure is very rare. - Design. Being tiny they're easier to lose, so SanDisk incorporated a keyring/string loop. - Price. They're surprisingly cheap and great value for a big-brand tiny sized flash drive.
Drawbacks:
- Heat. Get very hot. All flash drives do. Being thumbnail sized, they get hotter than larger flash drives though as there's less surface area to dissipate heat.
Yesterday I lost all my data from the SanDisk 64GB USB. There was not any unusual issue, just all data dissapeared and windows could not recognize the device. It is a disaster. Never happened with any USB brand. I am struggling in finding ways to get some of the data lost.

I bought this usb due to its compactness and portability but I am very disappointed by write speeds, when I transfer the file to usb, it goes full speed but after a minute or two it gets very hot and transfer rate reduces to kbs or 1mb at max.
