This review is from: 16GB Ultra USB Flash Drive (Personal Computers)
Got this because I had an older SanDisk that has been a real workhorse. The old one is still working fine, but I wanted another one and a newer model. This one claimed to be fast, and it also said it has software encryption.
Both claims are correct. It is about 50% faster than my old USB drive on writing, and very fast on reading. I copied a 42 MB movie in about 4 seconds, vs 6 seconds for the old drive.
Also did a test of copying a folder with 100 files (pics and movies) that was 1.2 GB in size. Worked well there too. Took about 2 or 3 minutes, which is quite reasonable.
Erase was lightning fast for that folder (which is expected, I guess, since it was only 100 objects).
Originally, the encryption took much longer than the above times (like 5x or more). But the software just updated itself this evening and now it is quite usable - even fast. I was able to encrypt movies and folder with pictures in times comparable to those above for the...Read more

This review is from: 16GB Ultra USB Flash Drive (Personal Computers)
I recently bought this flash drive because I needed a 16gig flash drive that had data encryption. Although you can always find data encryption software, the one on this flash drive works really well. I have used independent software such as folder lock and they are nowhere near as convenient has the one in this drive.
I did a test to compare the speed of this flash drive with tmy friends 16g Kingston Digital DataTraveler and my old SanDisk Cruzer 16g Flash Drive. Surprisingly, I actually found that this flash drive (cruzr ultra) was faster in transferring a 2gig file.
So for a 16g flash drive in this price range I really don't think you can make a better choice
Adv:
-Faster than any other flash drive in its class.
-Price is really nice for what you're getting.
-the software works well. this is actually important has I ave found that many driver software are glichy and very lacking (ex. sandisk ultra backup- software doesn't work on win. 7...Read more

When it comes to portable memory San Disk is the only name I trust. From the cards in my camera to flash drives. Little guy does what it is supposed too. Construction feels kind of cheap but it does make for a light drive. I'm sure I'll get a lot of good use out of it. I'm happy. I can definately tell the difference between a regular drive and the "Ultra" drive, not blazing faster but it is faster.
