256GB USB 3.0 flash drive

The SanDisk Ultra Flair SDCZ73-256G-G46 is a 256GB USB 3.0 flash drive with a Type A connector. It offers read speeds up to 150MB/s and features a sleek, durable metal casing in black. The drive includes SanDisk SecureAccess software for 128-bit AES encryption and password protection. A one-year subscription to RescuePRO software for file recovery is also provided.

Suits users needing fast, portable storage

This drive suits users who need to move large files quickly between devices with USB Type A ports. The hardware encryption protects sensitive data without extra setup. Buyers who require a USB Type C connector or write speeds guaranteed above a specific threshold should look at other options. The USB 3.0 interface limits maximum throughput on newer USB 3.1 or 3.2 ports.

Read speed up to 150MB/s

The headline specification is the read speed of up to 150MB/s, which enables transferring a full-length movie in less than 30 seconds. This figure determines whether the drive meets a workflow’s transfer-time requirements. Actual performance varies by host device and file type. The USB 3.0 interface and Type A connector define the physical and protocol limits of the device.

Questions about this item

Will the USB 3.0 Type A connector work with the USB 2.0 ports on my older laptop?

Yes, the drive is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports; transfer speeds will be limited to the older port's capability.

How can I verify the 150MB/s read speed is being reached after setup?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark on a USB 3.0 port; sequential read results should approach 150MB/s.

Does the package include the SecureAccess encryption software and RescuePRO recovery subscription, or must I buy them separately?

Both are included — SanDisk SecureAccess for 128-bit AES encryption and a one-year RescuePRO subscription for file recovery.
