128GB USB 3.0 flash drive

The SanDisk Cruzer Ultra provides 128GB of portable storage in a compact 5.7 x 1.1 x 2.1 cm metal casing. It connects via a standard USB Type-A interface and weighs only 9 grams. This drive suits anyone who moves large media libraries between desktops, laptops or compatible car audio systems.

USB 3.0 speed ceiling and backward compatibility

With a USB 3.0 host the drive reads up to 100 MB/s and writes up to five times faster than a USB 2.0 reference drive. In a USB 2.0 port it falls back to that older standard’s throughput, so peak transfer rates cannot be reached. The physical connector fits any USB-A receptacle, but the controller limits sustained bandwidth to the USB 3.0 specification.

Upgrade from USB 2.0 thumb drives

Replacing a legacy USB 2.0 stick cuts copy times for multi-gigabyte video folders dramatically. The jump is worthwhile when you regularly shift several gigabytes per session and have at least one USB 3.0 port available. If your workflow stays under a few hundred megabytes or you only own USB 2.0 sockets, the faster controller brings no practical benefit.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 128GB version or is there a larger capacity listed?

Only the 128GB capacity is listed for this model, so it is the single option to choose.

What does the 100 MB/s read speed mean when I copy files to my PC?

In a USB 3.0 port the drive can read at up to 100 MB/s, cutting transfer time for large videos and photos compared with USB 2.0.

Is the USB 3.0 interface limited by the port I plug it into?

The drive uses USB 3.0 and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, where speeds drop to the 2.0 maximum.
