Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the SanDisk Ultra Shift 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive SDCZ410-256G-G46?

The package contains the flash drive itself. SanDisk SecureAccess software is included for file encryption and password protection. No cables or adapters are required because the drive uses a built-in USB Type A connector.

Should I choose the 256GB Ultra Shift or a different capacity for everyday file transfers?

The 256GB capacity suits users who move large photo libraries, video projects or backups between computers. Smaller capacities cost less per gigabyte but fill faster; larger ones give more headroom for growing collections.

What does the 100 MB/s read speed mean when I plug the drive into my laptop?

The 100 MB/s figure is the maximum sequential read speed over USB 3.0. Real-world transfers of documents, photos or videos will be slower depending on file sizes, the host controller and the laptop's USB port performance.
