What it is and who it fits

The SanDisk Ultra 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive is a pocket-sized storage device for anyone who moves large files between computers. It offers 128GB of capacity and read speeds up to 100MB/s. The drive works with PC and Mac systems as well as tablets, TVs and car stereos. Included software adds 128-bit AES encryption and a one-year RescuePRO Deluxe recovery offer.

Upgrade path and when it matters

This drive replaces standard USB 2.0 flash drives with transfer rates up to ten times faster. A full-length movie can move in under 40 seconds at the rated speed. The jump is worth it when you regularly shift multi-gigabyte media or backups and want the job finished in seconds rather than minutes. Buyers who need sustained write performance for running applications directly from the stick should look elsewhere.

USB 3.0 interface limits

The USB 3.0 connector is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, though speed drops to the older standard's ceiling. Actual throughput varies by host controller, file mix and drive firmware, so the 100MB/s figure is a peak not a guarantee. The drive draws power from the port itself and requires no external adapter. No hardware encryption engine is present; security relies on the supplied software layer.

Questions about this item

What USB port does the SanDisk Ultra 128GB drive need?

It uses a standard USB 3.0 connector that fits any USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 Type-A port on PCs, Macs, tablets, TVs or car stereos.

What is the common mistake when plugging it in for the first time?

Inserting the drive into a USB 2.0 port instead of USB 3.0, which limits transfer speed to the slower 2.0 rate.

How long is the RescuePRO Deluxe recovery software offer valid?

The download offer for RescuePRO Deluxe file recovery software lasts for a one-year subscription period.
