16 GB USB 3.0 flash drive

The SanDisk Cruzer Ultra provides 16 GB of portable storage with a USB 3.0 interface. It suits anyone who moves HD video or large photo libraries between computers and wants shorter transfer waits than a USB 2.0 stick delivers.

Upgrade from USB 2.0 sticks

Replaces a standard USB 2.0 drive when read speeds up to 100 MB/s and write performance up to five times faster matter. The jump is worth it if you regularly copy multi-gigabyte files and have a USB 3.0 port available; on USB 2.0 ports the drive works but runs at the older speed.

Plug-and-play with retractable connector

No driver installation is required on modern operating systems. The sliding USB connector protects the contacts when not in use, so the common failure point of bent or damaged plugs is reduced. SanDisk SecureAccess software adds optional password protection for private files.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions of this 16GB USB 3.0 flash drive so I know if it fits beside other ports?

The drive measures 5.7 cm long, 1.1 cm wide and 2.1 cm thick, so it occupies minimal space next to adjacent USB sockets.

How do I install the SanDisk SecureAccess software that comes on the drive?

Plug the drive into a USB port, open the drive in File Explorer, and run the SanDisk SecureAccess installer to create a password-protected vault on the 16GB storage.

Does the USB 3.0 interface on this 16GB model wear out after many insertions?

The USB 3.0 connector is rated for thousands of insertion cycles; normal daily use will not wear it out, and no maintenance is required beyond keeping the contacts clean.
