  FYI, new versions are now fixed drive format and not removable so might not be usable as bootable usb drives for windows installs etc.

    Could you please explain what this Fixed drive format is?

      Basically a fixed drive is an HDD, that is, no driver installation is required. So if a USB shows up in the computer as an HDD, not as a removable drive, it's a fixed drive format.

      SanDisk is beginning production of flash drives configured as fixed disk in 2012 to meet new requirements for Windows 8 Certification

      Some more information here:

        I wonder if these could be used as a temporary SSD for things such as a Linux installation on a PC. Or even Windows?

        This is the first time I've heard of such a format for flash drives, so did a quick search found this: http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/All-SanDisk-USB-Flash-Drives/US…

        In the second post, the Sandisk email states that they switched them back to removable disk mode at the end of 2013, so it looks like there's a whole year's worth of these fixed drive sticks floating around. Bizarre :|

  I purchased two of these from Amazon last week for US$34.99 each, when the last deal was posted:

  I had a Live Chat session with Amazon just now, and the rep agreed to refund the price difference straight off. That's darn good service!

  I got one of these from MSY a few months ago.. Very nice USB drives! Very quick. Using Rufus and installing windows 8.1 from these things took just under 3 minutes. :)
