Compact 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive

The SanDisk Cruzer Blade CZ50 is a 16 GB USB 2.0 flash drive with a compact black and red housing. It connects to a standard Type-A port and is ready for drag-and-drop file transfer after an initial driver download. The small form factor makes it easy to carry in a pocket or bag for everyday file storage.

Suits Basic File Transfer, Not High-Speed Workflows

This drive suits users who need a simple, portable way to move documents, photos or music between older and current Windows or Mac systems. Buyers who need faster transfer rates for large video files or frequent heavy workloads should look at a drive with a newer USB specification.

USB 2.0 Interface Limits Transfer Speed

The USB 2.0 interface determines the maximum data throughput of this device. It provides broad compatibility with legacy and modern ports but caps performance well below USB 3.0 or later standards. Verify that your workflow accepts this speed before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the SanDisk Cruzer Blade CZ50 need any driver installation on Windows 7 before I can drag files onto it?

After the first plug-in, Windows 7 downloads a driver automatically; once that finishes, the drive appears as a folder and you can drag files straight onto it.

Will the USB 2.0 interface on this 16 GB Cruzer Blade slow down file copies if I keep using an older USB 1.1 port on my laptop?

Yes — the drive negotiates to USB 1.1 speed on that port, so transfers will be limited to the older standard's lower rate.

How can I confirm the full 16 GB capacity is recognised after I plug the Cruzer Blade into my Mac running OS X 10.5?

Open Disk Utility or Get Info on the drive icon; the listed capacity should read 16 GB, showing the drive is working as intended.
