I also considered Sandisk as the clear market leader and always favoured Sandisk products over anything else given the choice. However, the Cruser Blade (8GB in my case) is an utter disappointment - it’s slower even than the unbranded give-away sticks I got years ago! The suggestion to go “Ultra” for a comparable performance to the current generic junk is a poor excuse.
Clearly, Sandisk is not a blind choice any more.
