16 GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive

The Verbatim Store 'n' Go V3 model 49172 is a 16 GB USB 3.0 flash drive with a retractable housing that protects the connector. It uses a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface for faster file transfers and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports. Password protection software is available for download. The drive measures 0.6 by 0.8 by 2.6 inches and comes in a black and gray color scheme.

Buyers needing portable file storage

This drive suits users who want a compact 16 GB stick for moving documents, photos or videos between computers with USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 ports. It is not for buyers who need more storage capacity or who require a drive with hardware encryption built into the device.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface, which delivers up to 10X data transfer versus USB 2.0. If your system only has USB 2.0 ports the drive will still work but at the lower speed. No other specification overrides this interface requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the Verbatim 49172 need a USB 3.0 port to work, or will it run on my older USB 2.0 sockets?

It is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 ports, so it will work on older sockets, though transfer speeds will be limited to USB 2.0 rates.

When plugged into a USB 2.0 port, will the retractable mechanism still protect the connector the same way?

Yes, the retractable housing shields the connector physically regardless of which USB generation the port supports.

After inserting the 16 GB drive, what is the quickest way to confirm it is operating at USB 3.0 speed?

Check the device properties in your OS; it should list the connection as USB 3.0 or USB 3.2 Gen 1 rather than USB 2.0.
