Default Avoid SanDisk USB Sticks

The ones I have are the slider in/out with a spring function; USB3 32G

Slide the plug all the way out and if it can be pushed back in but
resists by spring action - that is the one to avoid!

When I try to push the USB stick into a port the USB Stick spring action
keeps me from pushing the USB Stick in all the way!

When I think it is in I try to get data on or off the stick and it fails
half way through the transfer. Sometime screwing up the USB Stick
making it unusable for Wn XP. I have to plug the USB Stick into a Win 7
PC and do a disk check to get the functionality back.


Another one to avoid is the Corsair Slider 16Gb. I have one and yes, you
can push the plug all the way quite easily
