What this drive is and who it suits

The SanDisk Ultra Luxe SDCZ74-256G-A46 is a 256GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 flash drive with a Type A connector. It targets users who want a compact, all-metal drive for moving photos, videos and documents between computers quickly.

Build quality and daily use

The full cast metal casing protects the internal components while adding only 8.0 g of weight. A built-in keyring loop lets you attach the drive to a keychain or bag so it stays within reach during daily transport.

Check before ordering

Verify that your host device has a USB Type A port or a suitable adapter. Confirm the operating system supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 to achieve the advertised 400MB/s read speed. RescuePRO Deluxe software is included for file recovery but may require a separate download and registration.

Questions about this item

What real-world transfer ceiling does the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface impose on this drive?

The USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection caps throughput at 5 Gbit/s, so the advertised 400 MB/s read speed is the practical limit you will see.

Will the all-metal casing measuring 40.0 x 16.0 x 6.0 mm fit side-by-side with other ports on a crowded laptop?

At 16 mm wide and only 6 mm thick, the drive leaves enough clearance for adjacent USB-A ports on most ultrabooks.

Does the RescuePRO Deluxe recovery tool install automatically when I first plug the SDCZ74-256G-A46 in?

No — you must download and install the software separately from the SanDisk website before it can recover deleted files.
