minus-squareSnot Flickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·edit-21 year agoI was always suspicious of SanDisk to begin with. I’d had loads of bad USB thumbsticks from them in the past 15 years. This… just doesn’t seem that far fetched for them. They never seemed like a truly quality brand, but maybe that’s just me. But yeah, it pretty much solidifies my stance of skipping over SanDisk. Samsung is indeed preferable, overall. I quite like their speedy USB 3.0 slim thumbsticks. I’ll take Crucial for SSDs if I can’t get my hands on a Samsung, but SanDisk is right out. They’re somehow even worse than Kingston.
