I was looking for a sturdy replacement drive to have on my keyring - I read all the reviews about sharp edges, tight fit, weird angles and getting hot but figured I'd give it a go anyway - SanDisk is usually my go-to for usb drives.
Sharp edges - yes but acceptable, tight fit - definitely but workable, weird angles - yes but added a small extra split-ring which solved that problem, getting hot - a bit I suppose, with it being metal it is probably more likely to transfer the heat generated to the body more than a plastic one would.

Got this for work, its a tight fit in most usb ports and gets very warm when working. Been about 6 months and no issues. Probably about 100GB total data written so far.

Nice feeling in the fingers. Its shiny, I like shiny things. Gets warm while transferring data.

Less likely to get lost with its shiny metallic finish. Nice feeling in the fingers. Its shiny, I like shiny things. Gets warm while transferring data.

Good flash drive, fast enough for common applications, all the sandisk drives I've used are reliable and are worth the money. Gets a wee bit warmer than I'd like, though.

Speeds are ok... doesnt get too hot like some other ppl said... looks nice and feels premium... would buy again. Speeds are ok... doesnt get too hot like some other ppl said... looks nice and feels premium... would buy again.

Great price

Aesthetically pleasing, although it gets a bit hot while using, it doesn't affect the performance. Aesthetically pleasing, although it gets a bit hot while using, it doesn't affect the performance.

Useful for quickly moving things between computer, at least with a sporadic use. Comfortable size and feels sturdy. Get's quite hot though. Useful for quickly moving things between computer, at least with a sporadic use. Comfortable size and feels sturdy. Get's quite hot though.

Found it a VERY tight fit into USB port. Can be a bit tricky to fit into some devices that do not have clear access,e.g. wall mounted TV sets. Being small, is not necessarily the best in every circumstance.
