Excellent! Only issue I had was I did not know this was formatted in X-FAT32. I bought this thumb drive to put the movies I have on my PC on it so that I could watch them in my living room on my smart tv... after spending a couple hours transferring files to the drive, I plug it into my smart tv and get an error telling me that the drive was not supported. I tried it on my Sony Blu-ray that has a usb slot for external media and it doesn’t recognize the drive either. I tell my husband about it and he says I need to format the thumb drive with a regular FAT32 file system. Well, I did as I was instructed, reloaded the movies after formatting with FAT32 and bingo! Both my smart tv and my Blu-ray can now read the files on the drive! So, if anyone has problems with your devices reading or even recognizing the drive after loading files in the X-FAT32 format, reformat the drive with FAT32 and then reload your files. You should be good to go! SANDISK, YOU REALLY SHOULD LABLE THE PACKAGING WITH THE TYPE OF FORMATING ON THE DRIVE! That would save people a lot of wasted time knowing this in advance!
The flash drive works well out of the box. The slider allows the user to protect the USB connector when not in use. It extends the connector and locks it in place when needed. However, the included SanDiskSecure Access software is confusing, because its "Download for Mac" document makes it seem that it is necessary to install in order to use the flash drive. But the software is intended to set up encryption and password protection for data on the drive. This is not needed for most users who just want to transfer data. I removed the software installer from this drive to free up space.
When it comes to high quality memory cards or flash drives Sandisk products are the state of the art standard. I've used mostly all of the other ones out there with mixed results. Some were good and some not so good..but I never had a Sandisk drive or memory card fail on me ever. When you buy one of these you know and can be confident it's going to work. This brand has proven to be extremely reliable time after time. I use them to take my data with me on office machines and to back up all my mp3's at home. High marks for quality and workmanship
Good price per capacity. It has a small orange light that pulsates when it's plugged in. It locks into either the open or closed positions. Speed is good: 8 to 12 MB/s on 50 to 60 MB files, 6.5 MB/s on a 250 MB file. (Win 10 on a Dell Latitude E6520).
Why these special objects, in this case, the SanDisk 16GB 2.0 Flash Cruzer Glide USB Drive (SDCZ60-16G-B35), I am told is really quite simple to operate. I promise I can read, but I am typically unhappy when I fumble through todays technology regardless of its presumed simplicity or arranged madness for an over-the-hill type such as myself. I still rely on INSTRUCTIONS in order to make wishes, ambitions, and hopes become a reality. In my youth, it took me two days and a roll of surgical tape to learn to shave, and now I struggle with an object without a razor nor shaving cream, its called a SanDisk and I remain befuddled, too human to ask anyone to tell me how to employ the value of this miraculous technological device. . YouTube seems to have the answers, but again this foreign sounding language associated with todays technology adds to my greying hair and high blood pressure. Any ideas for instruction with this product?

This is a well made thumb drive that doesn't break the bank. The software did require an update directly from the SanDisk website as the update utility didn't work. The security software interface isn't too difficult to use and seems to work well and fairly quickly though I'm sure it isn't as secure as the hardware based security of a Silicon Power Bolt style thumb drive. I haven't had any issues with the drive being recognized or reading/writing. It provided adequate security for most applications and doesn't have a cap to lose. The design is mainly plastic and this isn't drive isn't designed for extreme environments but for average office use it works fine. I would recommend this drive.
I load this with all the MP3 music it will hold and plug it into my car's USB port and set my player on random. I can go weeks without hearing the same song twice! I no longer waste time and money burning CDs anymore. Since the prices have come down so much for these flash drives I sometimes gift them to friends that appreciate my taste in music. Wish they copied large volumes a data a little quicker but I never had any errors or one fail. And they don't seem to mind the extreme hot or cold in my car. And some of my other devices that have a USB port have a 32 GB limit so these are the ticket.
This is a very high quality USB flash drive, it is an authentic item (to it's brand name SanDisk, a well-known brand to many for their flash drives, & solid-state hard drives. They are also part of "Western Digital" which is well-known for their external hard drives. )
I'm sure this USB flash drive will survive many years of being thrown into my over-filled backpack for my final few semesters at our local community college. Sometimes I prefer to hang it on my key-ring for quicker access during night classes. Regardless of the reason, I know the SanDisk will still be completely intact at the end of the day. That's why I choose to stick to SanDisk & their durable products.
This product was the perfect answer to transferring my music from my old laptop to my new one. 32gb is ample space and the fact that I could buy this for so cheap and save a penny from not having to buy an external HD was perfect.
This is lightweight and well made. The USB plug retracts into the body for protection, and when you slide it out, it clicks into place so you don't have to worry about having a hard time connecting or disconnecting. I would recommend this product.
This thing is fast. I don't care about what they say about USB 2.0, as it's faster than any other USB storage stick that I've ever used.
This thumb drive is just perfect for my work documents. I work from it every single day. It's just that it would be nice if they made one that's bigger, like 256 GB. I could probably use one like that someday.
