Tiny 256GB Usb but a bit slow for a Usb 3 device
This newer style Sandisk nano Usb scores well with me due it's small size.
My 256Gb was about £26 and represents great value at this price.
It is not a fast device, mine managed 40-20 MB/s write (Usb3, 5Gb video file transfer) and 150-120 MB/s read, whereas my 1TB External Samsung Evo ssd will do 400MB/s with no drop off in speed, doing exactly the same test.
It gets hot during extended writes, (and flattened my laptop battery when I left it in the 'charging' Usb port overnight, so don't do that :) )
It feels a bit flimsy too, compared with the older style Sandisk nano.
It has a thin folded plastic sleeve around the connector, which is a very tight fit in a Usb port.
I was concerned it might break my Usb port so I pushed it into an old laptop Usb port a few times, to squeeze it into a shape, whereby it would fit without so much force required.
It doesn't come with a nice cover, which was a feature I liked on my older model. It stops debris getting into the connector blade, so I have my newer model stuffed into the lid of an old Usb stick, which isn't the best solution.
However.. 256Gb in such a tiny package is a major achievement, so I can forgive any of the issues listed above.
If I need superfast transfer, I'll use my 1TB Usb 3 ssd (400MB/s) or 1TB Usb C Nvme ssd (600MB/s). (All tests done with a 5.5GB video file)
