SanDisk Ultra Flair 16GB USB 3.0 Drive

The SanDisk Ultra Flair is a 16GB USB 3.0 flash drive designed for fast file transfers. It delivers read speeds up to 150MB/s, moving data up to 15 times faster than standard USB 2.0 drives. A full-length movie transfers in less than 30 seconds. Its durable metal casing protects the drive from everyday knocks.

Suits quick file moves.

This drive suits users who need rapid transfers of documents, photos, or videos between devices. The 16GB capacity handles everyday file sets but fills quickly with large media libraries or system backups. Buyers who want more storage or hardware encryption should look at something else.

16GB capacity for daily files.

The 16GB capacity comfortably holds thousands of documents, photos, or several HD videos for transport. Password protection secures private files on the drive. It runs out of headroom when storing large raw photo catalogues, 4K video projects, or full system images.

Questions about this item

Does my computer need a USB 3.0 port to reach the 130 MB/s read speed?

Yes, a USB 3.0 port is required to achieve the quoted 130 MB/s read performance.

If I plug this into a USB 2.0 port, will it still transfer files?

It will work on USB 2.0 ports but speeds drop to the older standard, roughly 15 times slower than the 150 MB/s peak.

How can I verify the drive is delivering the advertised speed after I set it up?

Copy a large file and check that read throughput approaches 130 MB/s in your operating system’s transfer dialog.
