SanDisk Cruzer Glide CZ600 256GB

The SanDisk Cruzer Glide CZ600 is a 256GB USB 3.0 flash drive built for everyday portable storage. It suits students, office workers and home users who need a compact, cap-less drive for documents, photos, music and video files. The retractable connector protects the USB interface when the drive is not in use.

USB 3.0 interface practical limits

The drive uses the USB 3.0 specification, so its transfer speed is bounded by that standard and by the host port it is plugged into. On a USB 2.0 port the drive will operate at USB 2.0 rates, and on a USB 3.0 port it cannot exceed the 5 Gbit/s signalling ceiling of the interface. Real-world throughput also depends on file type, file size and the host controller.

256GB capacity decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the 256GB capacity. Buyers who need more space for large media libraries or system images will find the limit restrictive. Users who only carry a few gigabytes of documents may consider the capacity more than they require.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 256GB version or a smaller capacity?

The 256GB model gives you the maximum space in this series; smaller 16GB options exist if you need less room.

What transfer speed will I actually see from the USB 3.0 rating?

USB 3.0 is rated for up to 5 Gb/s, so large files move noticeably quicker than on USB 2.0.

Does the USB 3.0 connector work with older USB 2.0 ports?

Yes, it is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, though speeds will drop to the 2.0 limit.
