Ideal for Everyday File Transfers

The SanDisk Ultra 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive delivers read speeds up to 100MB/s for moving documents, photos and videos quickly. Its USB 3.0 interface remains compatible with USB 2.0 ports. The sleek black casing fits easily in a pocket or bag for daily carry. Included SanDisk SecureAccess software adds 128-bit AES encryption with password protection.

Not Suited for High-Capacity or Peak-Speed Demands

Users who need to store large media libraries or system images will find the 16GB capacity limiting. The drive also lacks the sustained write performance required for running portable operating systems or editing video directly from the stick. Buyers needing more space or faster writes should consider higher-capacity or performance-tier models.

Deciding Specification: 16GB Capacity

The 16GB capacity is the single figure that determines whether this drive can hold your working set of files. If your typical transfer batch exceeds this limit, you will need a larger drive regardless of the 100MB/s read speed or USB 3.0 interface. For modest document and photo batches, the capacity is sufficient and the encryption software adds useful privacy.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 16GB version or a larger capacity?

The 16GB model suits documents and media libraries; larger capacities up to 256GB are available if you need space for video projects or full system backups.

What does the 100MB/s headline speed mean when I copy files?

100MB/s is the peak read rate on a USB 3.0 port; typical large-file copies run lower, and write speeds are slower than reads.

Does the USB 3.0 interface cap performance on older ports?

On USB 2.0 ports the drive falls back to 2.0 speeds, so the 100MB/s ceiling is only reached with a USB 3.0 host.
