SanDisk Ultra Flair 16GB USB 3.0 Drive

The SanDisk Ultra Flair is a 16GB USB 3.0 flash drive built for everyday file transport. It features a Type-A connector, a durable metal casing, and 128-bit AES encryption with password protection for private data.

Suits users needing quick, secure portable storage

This drive suits anyone moving documents or media between USB 3.0 ports who values hardware encryption and a rugged metal shell. Buyers who need more than 16GB of capacity or require a USB-C connector should look at other options.

16GB capacity handles documents and media

The 16GB capacity comfortably stores thousands of photos, office files, or several full-length movies. Read speeds up to 150MB/s reduce wait times for large transfers, while the 128-bit AES encryption secures sensitive content without extra software.

Questions about this item

What type of USB port does my computer need for the SDCZ73-016G-G46 to work at full speed?

The drive uses a USB 3.0 Type A connector. It will operate at up to 150MB/s on a USB 3.0 port and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports at reduced speed.

Will the Ultra Flair drive work if I keep using my older USB 2.0 hub?

Yes. The USB 3.0 Type A interface is backward compatible with USB 2.0. The drive will function normally, but transfer speeds will be limited to USB 2.0 rates.

How can I confirm the 128-bit AES encryption is active on the SDCZ73-016G-G46?

Use the included SanDisk SecureAccess software to set a password. Once a vault is created, files placed inside are automatically encrypted with 128-bit AES.
