256 GB USB-C flash drive

The SanDisk Ultra Slider SDCZ480-256G-G46 provides 256 GB of portable storage with a USB Type-C connector. It delivers read speeds up to 400 MB/s and write speeds of 150 MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen 1. The retractable design protects the connector when not in use.

For USB-C phones, tablets and laptops

This drive suits users who need quick file transfers between modern USB-C devices without carrying an adapter. It is not for systems that only offer USB-A ports unless a separate adapter is used. Buyers who require hardware encryption or ruggedised housing should look elsewhere.

Retractable connector, keyring hole.

The sliding mechanism removes the need for a separate cap, reducing wear on the port. A built-in keyring hole lets the drive attach to bags or keys for easy access. Included data recovery software helps restore accidentally deleted files.

Questions about this item

Do I need a USB Type-C port on my phone or laptop to use the 256GB SanDisk Ultra Slider?

Yes, the drive has a retractable USB Type-C connector and is designed for USB Type-C phones, tablets and computers.

Will the drive work if I plug it into an older USB-A port with an adapter?

The connector is USB Type-C only; it will function with a suitable adapter but speed will be limited by the older port.

How can I verify the drive is delivering the advertised 400MB/s read speed after setup?

Copy a large file from the drive to your device and check the transfer rate in the operating system's copy dialog or a benchmark tool.
