Design

Right from the first look, the design of this flash drive grabbed my attention. I chose the turquoise green color, which is really eye-catching!

The SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go USB Type-C™ is ideal for use anywhere, anytime. Its compact, lightweight design easily fits in my pocket.

What's great about this dual-ended flash drive is how it offers easy access to both USB Type-C and USB Type-A connectors, so I don't need extra adapters. Additionally, the tip doubles as a connector protector when not in use. It makes this pen drive clean and safe from dust and damage.

While it doesn't have the anti-fingerprint feature seen in TEAMGROUP products, its matte textured surface does a good job of resisting fingerprints and dirt.

Besides turquoise green, the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go USB Type-C™ comes in several other colors, including black.

Performance

I tested this flash drive's performance by transferring files to my laptop, which runs on Windows OS with an AMD Ryzen 7 Gen 3 processor and 8 GB of RAM.

I also used it in a USB Type-C 3.2 port. The 128 GB SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go USB Type-C™ managed to transfer 52 GB of files in just 16 minutes, which is impressively fast, isn't it?

Still curious, I then transferred an 11 GB file to a 2015 MacBook Air via the USB Type-A port. This took only 7 minutes and 20 seconds.

Continuing the tests, I used an Android tablet to transfer a 50 GB file from the flash drive. This time, it took about 49 minutes and 30 seconds, with an average speed of 20-30 MB/s.

The flash drive is claimed to offer speeds above 200 MB/s. To check this, I used AmorphousDiskMark software for Mac, similar to CrystalDiskMark on Windows.

The test showed a read speed of 355.23 MB/s for this flashdisk, confirming it lives up to its claims.

SanDisk Memory Zone

The SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go USB Type-C™ also works well with the SanDisk Memory Zone app, which is available for both Android and iOS devices. This app makes it easy to transfer files to and from the flash drive. This feature is particularly useful for me since my phone is running low on storage.

I can use the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go USB Type-C™ to back up important files from my phone.

Additionally, the SanDisk Memory Zone app has some other great features. For example, it can help 'clean up' the WhatsApp app. As you might know, WhatsApp often gets cluttered with a lot of photos, videos, and documents. If you need a quick and easy way to clean this up, the SanDisk Memory Zone can be a great help.

Summary

Overall, the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go USB Type-C™ is a flash drive that offers a minimalist, simple, and ergonomic design, along with superior performance. It comes in a variety of capacities, from 32 GB to 1 TB, so you can choose one that fits your needs.
