SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB USB 2.0 Drive

The SanDisk Cruzer Blade is a compact 16GB USB flash drive built to the USB 2.0 specification. Its small black casing makes it easy to carry on a key ring or in a pocket. The drive provides straightforward portable storage for everyday files. No software installation is required on modern operating systems.

Suits casual file transfer.

This drive suits students, office workers and home users who move documents, photos or music between computers. The USB 2.0 interface limits transfer rates, so it is not a good match for video editors, system builders or anyone who regularly shifts large multi-gigabyte archives. Buyers needing faster throughput should consider a drive with a newer USB standard.

16GB capacity handles documents and media libraries

The 16GB capacity comfortably holds thousands of office documents, presentations or compressed photos. It can also store several hours of standard-definition video or large music collections. The space runs out quickly with raw video footage, disk images or modern game installers. Users working with those file types will need a higher-capacity drive.
