SanDisk has an entire line of USB C thumb drives, they are my to-go choice
Sandisk is still selling their portable ssds that are failing at an alarming rate and wiping peoples data.
Dont worry though, because after slashing their price globally to sell the defective models fast, they released a firmware update for one of them and not the others.
Looking into it deeper, its clearly a hardware design flaw that WD is still denying, even after changing the hardware on new versions of the drive. The hardware change is also apprently still failing.
WD/Sandisk isnt worth trusting as storage anymore. The way they ignored customer data loss for months, pretended to fix the hardware issue with software, then only ever replied to evidence of hardware flaws when sued by a class action, should tell you they are no longer a reputable brand.
I had no idea about this, thanks for sharing
Samsung has ones that are dual side, so both USB-A and -C. Really helpful for moving files between phone and PC while still having backup storage.
Yes, they are great.
I should read replies before I comment. I said the same thing. Great little drive
