SanDisk’s next low-profile USB flash drive Ultra Fit USB 3.1 is a really tiny drive but comes with huge capacity. The drive is available in five variants - 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256 GB to choose from as per your requirement.

This high-speed USB 3.1 drive is up to 15X faster than standard USB 2.0 drives (4MB/s); up to 130MB/s read speed. It includes SanDisk SecureAccess software for password protection and 128-bit AES encryption software making it easy to password-protect critical files. The user just needs to drag and drop files into the vault, and they'll be encrypted to keep the private files private.

Also, the drive comes with a RescuePRO Deluxe data recovery software download offer. This software allows recovery of files that have been accidentally deleted (download required). It is also backward-compatible, so it can be plugged into any USB 3.0 or 2.0 port.

Performance

We tested its performance in real life and it’s really impressive. Transferring files such as photos and files were real quick. We transfer the 5 GB of assorted data from PC to drive and it took about 6 min and 19 sec. while transferring the same data from USB to PC it took 14 min 05 sec.
