In sequential write, the speed slowly goes up from 55k/s to 4.8M/s over the course of 1GB.
On small files, the write speed is even worse, it stays below 3M/s all the time.
This is incredibly slow for a modern usb stick.
Read is fine at about 20 M/s.

This is a very *small* USB Flash Drive

I had a SanDisk Cruzer Gator, SanDisk SDCZP-8192-A11BL 8GB Cruzer Gator (Black), which may have been the smallest SanDisk Flash Drive at the time. Unfortunately it only lasted 2 out of the 3 years of law school. I am careful but things (including my young boys) happen and even after some super-glue, the Cruzer Gator was no match for things (including my young boys). It now only works if I tweak it to one side and hold it there. It turns off the second I let go of it. Enter the SanDisk Blade. It has 16gb, is cheaper than my 8gb Gator, and is very sturdy. Unlike the Blade, the Gator's connector could move independent of its outer sleeve right out of the box. The connector on the Gator passed through a plastic sleeve and had a metal jacket around it. The connector on the Blade, on the other hand, integrates into the outer sleeve. As you can see in the picture the connector flows right into the sleeve making the Blade much stronger than the Gator. Overall, I am impressed with the size, capacity/price ratio, and sturdy design of the SanDisk Blade, and highly recommend it.

Small, light, and cool

I just wanted to quickly say that this device has a cool design. It appears to be two very solid pieces of plastic, lacking the typical metal part that you'd insert into the USB port. As a result, it's very light. I like the colors. I do wish that it had some kind of LED light indicator, but not a big deal.

I DO recommend to people who use this to reformat it prior to use. I tried to use this in my car, and it was unrecognized, despite being FAT32. I reformatted the entire disk to FAT32, and then it worked without a problem.

Be warned that this device is so small and light, that you definitely run the risk of losing it in your bag or pockets. I highly recommend attaching something to the lanyard slot.
