SanDisk Extreme PRO 3.1 128Gb (SDCZ880-128G)

The fastest flash drive from SanDisk was released at the dawn of 2017 as a replacement for the previous "speed champion" — SanDisk Extreme PRO. And so the high speed of data exchange (if we draw an analogy with the predecessor) was almost doubled. But more on that later.

Metal outfit

First of all , the solid aluminium case of the flash drive with dimensions of 71x11x21 mm attracts attention. From one end it hides a retractable connector, and on the other side there is a large ear for attaching the drive to a bunch of keys. Also on the case there was a place for an activity indicator that glows with a soft blue light.

Speed Champion

The speed qualities of the SanDisk Extreme PRO 3.1 are admirable: together with USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 interfaces, the flash drive is capable of overclocking up to 420 MB / s when reading and up to 380 MB / s when writing files. Only SSD drives are faster than it. Naturally, with such cool characteristics, a flash drive operates with large volumes of data in a matter of seconds and there is no one faster than it.

high status

The American manufacturer did not stint on equipping its offspring with a pre-installed utility for encrypting personal data SanDisk Secire Access, which produces 128-bit file encryption. In addition, the company provides a one-year free subscription to the RescuePRO Deluxe file recovery application, and the flash drive itself is covered by a limited lifetime warranty. All this once again emphasizes the high status of the drive and justifies its high cost.
