How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsBest one for Ps Classic
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2020
Works great on PlayStation Classic. Load rates are fast compared to other brands i tried. Doesn't suffer from lag or chugging like a lexar one i tried. Highly recommended. Other usb drives using usb 3.0 draw to much power from port two and won't work correctly. This usb stick is ideal if you do not want to run the OTG mod kernel on your PS Classic.

1.0 out of 5 starsOrdered 5 of these, all fakes
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2020
Ordered 5, arrived as normal.

When using them however none of them will hold more than 2gb of data despite being 16gb capacity.

In speaking with SanDisk, they are confirmed as fake.

2.0 out of 5 stars 16GB USB Stick ?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 July 2020
Size Name: 16 GBVerified Purchase
If you order this becuase its description is 16GB, then be aware that there is only 14.3GB capacity on it, so if you need all the 16GB don't buy this, I feel a little pissed, paid for a 16GB USB Stick got a USB with just 14.3 Capacity, the reason I wanted a 16GB USB was becuase the data I wanted to put on it was 15GB. a waste of my time and money.

2.0 out of 5 stars "Actual User Storage Less" Yeah - a lot less! Like more than 10% less!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 September 2020
Size Name: 16 GBVerified Purchase
Luckily I didn't quite need close to the full stated capacity, but I was shocked to find a reduction of over 10% of rated storage capacity for no reason whatsoever, even taking into account the miserly 12Mb or so of included software. The stick is rated at 16GB but only 14.3GB is available (17,179,860,387 should be on board, but only 15,356,608,512 is available). I don't know if this is the case with the larger storage sticks, but a 10% reduction in usable memory on a high capacity stick can be critical to some projects, I imagine.

Yes, I know there is a disclaimer on the product page stating "1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Actual user storage less." (which is actually wrong anyway as 1 GB = 1,073,741,274 bytes) but the page should state somewhere exactly, or at least an approximation of, the amount of usable memory.

Very disappointed for a Sandisk product.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 March 2022
Size Name: 32 GBVerified Purchase
I've been using and fixing computers for 20+ years and SanDisk products have never let me down so I recommend them to my customers and family. You can't mess about with unreliable products when you're storing important documents etc., so don't go cheap...it will backfire!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great purchase
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 February 2022
Size Name: 32 GBVerified Purchase
I wanted a USB flash drive to store my music so I could play it through my car audio system. It is very easy to use by just copying files over from computer to the flash drive. The copying speed is excellent as I have used SanDisk flash drives before and have never experienced any slow downloading from any of them. This drive is great value for money and works brilliantly in my car. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Washing machine proof!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 October 2017
Size Name: 64 GBVerified Purchase
I bought this for my youngest son for his school work and he likes it, however a warning to any parent that is thinking of doing a similar thing for their own child, get them something bigger that they can't misplace. However a bonus star is well deserved as this stick has survived being left in trouser pockets and getting cleaned on a warm cycle in the washing machine (on more than one occasion) and the thing still works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid reliable storage with slide protection for the usb connection
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2020

Bought as a Windows installation drive. SanDisk is always reliable and the slide means I can put it in the drawer knowing there's no cap to come off and damage it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2020
Size Name: 64 GBVerified Purchase
First off, what has "warmth" got to do with a USB stick?

Anyway, this is exactly what I needed. I'm sure like many of you who bought a PlayStation Classic, you were severely disappointed in the titles included, right?

Well this USB is perfect for rectifying that absolute travesty. If you.know, you know. This USB works excellently for "that."

The storage is great, more than enough room for what I want and this was very good value for money. No complaints.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not too bad SanDisk. :)
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 January 2016
Size Name: 64 GBVerified Purchase
Its okay I guess Its 59.1 Gb - To be expected with the sandisk software... It has LED's which add a nice touch to show that it is detected. Takes a little while to transfer items... But was exactly what I needed to transfer some files to.

For a test I transferred borderlands GOTY - 10.8GB to the hard drive and it took around 13 mins to complete so wasn't to bad in terms of copying content.

The slider doesn't fall out of place which makes it nice unlike previous hard drives I have owned... But its a hard drive..

Defiantly a bit of Meh with the old price claiming it to be "£53.95" or what ever as I went into tesco's the other day and it was £19.99 a bit more expensive... But meh...

Again a good hard drive does what its suppose to do came earlier than expected! Which was great.
Overall a good product.
