SanDisk Ultra Flair 256GB USB 3.0 Drive

The SanDisk Ultra Flair is a 256GB USB 3.0 flash drive built for moving large files quickly. It delivers read speeds up to 150MB/s, making it suitable for students and professionals who transfer media or documents daily. A metal casing protects the drive from everyday knocks. The package includes a lanyard for easy attachment.

Plug-and-play installation on any USB 3.0 port

Insert the drive into a USB 3.0 port and the operating system recognises it immediately without extra drivers. The sliding USB connector retracts to protect the contacts when not in use. Transfer speeds will drop to USB 2.0 levels if the drive is plugged into an older port. Password protection software must be downloaded separately to encrypt files.

Check for a USB 3.0 port and available space

Verify that your computer has a USB 3.0 port to achieve the advertised 150MB/s read speed. The formatted capacity will appear slightly lower than 256GB due to file system overhead. This drive is not for users who need hardware encryption built into the controller. It is also not for buyers who require a USB Type-C connector without an adapter.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The package includes the Ultra Flair flash drive and an OEM USB lanyard; no extra cable or software purchase is required.

Which capacity should I choose among the Ultra Flair models?

This listing is the 256GB version; pick it if you need that exact amount of storage.
