“When it comes to backing up our digital files, even though people know they should do it, they simply don’t - and that behavior is putting many consumers’ precious digital content at serious risk. “We are proud to announce the launch of SanDisk’s Ultra Backup flash drive in the Middle East,” a company statement said. With capacity soaring to a mammoth 64GB, the SanDisk ultra backup USB flash drive is specially designed to protect users’ photos, music, videos, personal and business documents, and other types of digital files - with the simple touch of a button. The SanDisk ultra backup USB portable flash drive is the first new product to be unveiled from the company’s new SanDisk Ultra USB product line. If you pick it up from stores such as, it’s available for a fraction of the price.SanDisk, the global inventor and largest supplier of flash storage cards, has released its unique, backup USB flash drive which features simple backup software activation at the touch of a button. I definitely found the convenience of the physical Backup button useful. The Backup utility is the highlight and is excellent for making a copy of important documents in case of data loss. Overall the SanDisk Ultra Backup is a reliable, fast, and easy to use flash drive. There are fortunately a few good application such as Firefox listed. For the most part, just about all of the tools were ridiculously over priced and just seemed like an major waste of time to even try. The Ultra Backup also features a built in Application Store which lists tons of games, media software, and other random tools. Your files will most likely be safe if the average person finds your flash drive, but that’s probably not the case if it falls into the hands of someone who knows what they are doing. Some password protection settings are also thrown in for additional security. Users do have the ability to disable the U3 Launcher, however that would mean that the Backup button would be rendered useless. The data is also organized on the flash drive retaining folder structure, which makes things easier when retrieving a file.Īsides from the Backup functionality, the flash drive is still works as a normal flash drive should. If you wish to further customize what should be included in the backup, there’s a easy configuration tool to select types of files such as text, music, videos etc. The interface is user friendly for even the most novice computer users. The first time the Backup Button is used to launch the utility, a quick setup will automatically determine what files should be included in the backup. The entire application resides and runs off the flash drive itself. The best part of this flash drive is the backup utility that doesn’t require installing any software. A pleasant orange LED flashes when data transfer is in progress. The USB connector recedes into the plastic casing when not in use. Copying a 700MB file off the flash drive also took 30 seconds with a read speed of about 24MB/s. I copied copy a 465MB file over to the drive in about 30 seconds writing at speeds reaching 15MB/s. The Ultra Backup is a bit larger the standard Cruzer, but makes up for the size difference with faster data transfer speeds. Just like the standard SanDisk Cruzer, the Ultra Backup model retains a the same traditional form factor. If you don’t have a true backup solution, this is an excellent tool. As implied by the name, the flash drive has a built in backup utility and a physical button to initiate a backup instantly. Last week, we reviewed the SanDisk Cruzer and today I bring you a review of the SanDisk Ultra Backup.
