Ultra-compact 256 GB USB 3.1 drive

The SanDisk Ultra Fit is a tiny plug-and-stay flash drive that adds 256 GB of portable storage to laptops, game consoles or in-car audio systems. Its low-profile black casing sits almost flush with the USB port so it stays out of the way. Read speeds reach up to 130 MB/s over USB 3.1. An OEM lanyard is included for easy carrying.

Replaces slower USB 2.0 sticks

Write performance is up to 15 times faster than standard USB 2.0 drives, cutting large-file transfers to a fraction of the old time. A full-length movie moves to the drive in under 30 seconds. The upgrade is worthwhile whenever you regularly shuffle multi-gigabyte files and want the convenience of a drive that can remain permanently inserted.

Check for a USB 3.1 port and physical clearance

Verify your device has a USB 3.1 Type-A port to achieve the quoted 130 MB/s read speed; it will work at reduced rates on USB 2.0. Ensure the surrounding chassis has enough room for the drive’s 1.2 x 0.6 x 0.2 inch body so adjacent ports or covers do not block insertion. The drive is not suited for users who need more than 256 GB in a single stick.

Questions about this item

Will the 1.2 x 0.6 x 0.2 inch drive block adjacent ports on my laptop?

The ultra-compact body measures 1.2 by 0.6 by 0.2 inches, so it sits almost flush and rarely obstructs neighbouring sockets.

Is any driver or software step required to reach the 130MB/s read speed?

Plug the drive into a USB 3.1 port; it is recognised instantly with no driver install, and the 130MB/s read rate is available immediately.

How long will the 256GB NAND memory last under daily write cycles?

SanDisk rates the Ultra Fit for typical consumer workloads; the 256GB capacity provides ample spare blocks for years of normal file transfers.
