“THIS PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE. There are articles all over the internet (see ArsTechnica) about how, once they are more that half full, the file system suddenly becomes corrupted and unrecoverable. Why is it still being sold???”

I have this model and have not had any issues. This model is also not listed as part of the defective models, as I ran my serial number to confirm. I've owned it for over 2 years and has worked great.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is NOT just the extreme pro version. That version is just worse. This specific product fails frequently. Mine got corrupted the very first time I used it. Luckily I checked my backup — empty disk and system errors trying to access it … Just as reported in the literature. Unfortunately, Best Buy won’t let me return it because I didn’t discover the problem in time, and sandisk’s return process is so ridiculously convoluted that it’s not worth the trouble. I’m never buying a sandisk product again.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It appears to be the Extreme “Pro” versions that have the issues. Not these.
