Interesting. I just bought a 256GB Sandisk flash drive from Amazon UK for £29, a lot less than this offer. (And it's a real drive; you have to watch out for fakes unfortunately). Perfect for Time Machine backup for a small MacBook.

I will never buy another SanDisk product again. I had a high-capacity flash drive fail during the warranty period, and SanDisk "customer support" in Japan did everything they could to avoid honoring the warranty. In the end, I gave up and they won.
 
"...SanDisk 500GB Extreme Pro - $95.99, down from $121.16..."
sub $100 for this is not bad - i might bite
 
Check out the Rocket Nano's. These things are tiny (2.7 inches long), fast (10Gb/s), and while the drive is USB C it comes with a C-C and C-A cable. And the half TB model is under $100.

Amazon also has an external 12 TB WD HDD on sale for $175. To shuck or not to shuck.

If it's sold by Amazon then maybe we can be assured that it's genuine.

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this question.
Does anyone know of a flash drive that I could use to transfer gps tracks/waypoints from my iPhone to a PC? I've tried a few without success--they've all had preloaded software for downloading pictures and videos that I can't get rid of and others that I've looked at online don't seem to support the gps files (gpx, kml)

I heard that Amazon does not keep stocks from different sellers separately for Prime shipping. It makes sense because they wouldn't want to make 20 different item bins each containing identical stocks from different vendors. That'll be a logistical nightmare. Amazon pools every stock in one location and they get mixed up. So, even if Amazon sells it, fake stocks from a different vendor may get shipped.

There are unfortunately fake SanDisk products around. Many are easily recognisable by the lack of a serial number. In the U.K. the seller would be responsible, and SanDisk would have no responsibility towards the end user.

And if it was a fake, then sandisk refusing to help is very understandable.

A while ago Apple bought 100 different “genuine Apple iPhone chargers” from Amazon and examined them. Result: Zero were made by Apple. 80 out of 100 were unsafe.
 
I recently returned a 1TB Extreme Pro as it behaved very strangely once it got 3/4 full, with temporary freezings during read/write operations.
Maybe it was a problem with my specific unit. It had to go.
Shame because it is tiny.

The never told me it was a fake. But who knows, maybe it was.

I bought it from Amazon Japan, and it what seemed to be authentic SanDisk packaging. Had there been typos or unusual typsetting on anything except the finest of print, I probably would have noticed it. (I got a fake Microsoft Office disc from Amazon Japan once, and knew it as soon as inspected the software package before opening it.)

But that's good to know. Maybe I really was scammed. Just wish SanDisk would have told me that if it were indeed the case.
