For £18.28 ex-VAT, the SanDisk Ultra Dual is the kind of “just works” thumb drive you buy for office use—copying installers to a few machines, moving small batches of files, or keeping a bootable utility to hand. The dual USB-A/USB-C style is genuinely handy in mixed fleets (modern laptops with USB‑C only, plus older desks still on USB‑A). SanDisk’s usual strength here is reliability and consistent write speeds for everyday transfers; it’s not the cheapest stick, but you’re less likely to get the annoying “it copies… eventually” experience.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it as a serious storage drive. If you’re constantly shifting large media or doing frequent big file writes, you’ll feel the difference versus higher-end USB sticks designed for sustained performance. Also, for long-term “put it and forget it” backups, a flash drive isn’t the best primary archive—consider it a convenient transfer tool, not a replacement for proper backups. Overall: buy this for technicians, pre-imaging kits, and general B2B file movement where convenience (USB-C + USB-A) matters. Skip it if your use case is heavy throughput or archival.
