The SanDisk Ultra 32GB USB 3.0 (blue) at £13.01 ex-VAT is the kind of “just works” stick you buy for office admin, training packs, or handing out to clients where you don’t need anything fancy. SanDisk has a decent reputation for reliability, and USB 3.0 helps when you’re moving bigger files (like slide decks, PDFs, or small images) instead of waiting on legacy USB2 speeds. It’s also a sensible choice if you need something broadly compatible across Windows and most modern Macs without fuss.
That said, I wouldn’t buy this if you’re expecting high write performance all day long, or if you’re dealing with very large file transfers or video workloads—cheap 32GB sticks are fine for occasional use, but they’re not the tool for “copy 50GB every day” scenarios. Also, 32GB fills up quickly in 2026 terms; if you’re sharing anything substantial, you’ll likely end up annoyed and buying bigger anyway. If your need is straightforward file sharing or backups-on-the-side, this is good value. If you need speed/robustness for frequent heavy use, spend a bit more on a higher-capacity and more performance-focused model.
