    Sandisk's product page states the device is USB 2.0, so I can only assume that you have linked us to the wrong product. Check on the product and give us the model number.

    If the device is USB 3 then is the port (also colour coded blue)? Some devices will have a mixture of USB 2 and 3 ports, so make sure you're using a USB3 one, and not via a hub but directly.

    If the port is USB 3, could be a driver issue with the USB3 driver, which you can fix easily enough

    Going on the assumption that it is USB2.0....

    I've known nothing but snail's pace write speeds from Sandisk Cruzer devices - I'm lucky if I get an average of 1 - 2MB/s. No surprise that Sandisk never bothered to state write speeds for them on their website, they'd go out of business.

    Bin it and buy a USB3.0 drive instead.
