SanDisk Cruzer 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive

This SanDisk Cruzer flash drive provides 16GB of portable storage in a compact black form factor. It connects via a standard USB 2.0 interface for broad compatibility with laptops, desktops and other host devices. The drive is supplied new and includes a bonus lanyard for convenient attachment. It is suited to everyday file transport and backup tasks.

Suits users needing simple 16GB portable storage

The drive suits students, office workers and home users who move documents, photos or small media libraries between machines. Buyers who need faster transfer rates for large video files or very large datasets should consider higher-specification alternatives. The USB 2.0 interface limits throughput compared with newer standards. Those requiring hardware encryption or ruggedised housings will need a different product.

16GB capacity handles documents and media

The 16GB capacity comfortably stores thousands of office documents, high-resolution photos or several hours of compressed video. It runs out when users attempt to carry uncompressed video projects, extensive raw photo libraries or full system images. The USB 2.0 bus becomes the bottleneck during large batch transfers. For occasional smaller transfers the headroom is adequate.

Questions about this item

What type of USB port do I need on my computer for the SDCZ50 16GB drive to work?

The drive uses the USB 2.0 interface so it works with any USB 2.0 or later port.

Will the SanDisk Cruzer SDCZ50 16GB run on a PC that only has USB 1.1 ports?

It is backward-compatible with USB 1.1 ports, though transfer speeds will be limited to the older standard.

How can I verify the 16GB capacity is recognised after plugging in the SDCZ50?

Open File Explorer or Disk Utility; the drive should appear as a 16GB removable volume.
