Earlier this month SanDisk announced a plethora of new devices, including one of the fastest flash drives in the world. That device is the Extreme PRO USB 3.0 Flash Drive. While people usually just go in to a store and buy the first flash drive they see, this one is not an ordinary flash drive. It emulates what the high-speed customer has been striving for. Will this be your next flash drive, keep reading to find out!

Design

Streamlined. Sleek. Modern. These are the three words that come to mind when you first see the device. It amazes me that you can make a flash drive look nice and SanDisk really strived for that and then perfected it. It really lets the device be picked out from the thousands of them available. It kind of provides a description, for what the device is. It is performance flash drive for pros and will handle almost any job you put it through. The USB 3.0 connector comes out of the device via a slider. The slider is really nice, a very smooth slide, that clicks in. Thus telling you when to stop and so that you don’t push it out too far. The slider piece is built into the black line running down the middle of the top of the device. The rest of the flash drive is a sleek silver color and there is very little branding on the device. On the top you have a SanDisk logo and a USB 3.0 logo. If you flip it over, you have some FCC info and a few specs. It blends into the silver aluminum on the bottom. There is a space where you can attach a lanyard of key chain to the device as well.

 

Speed

We put the SanDisk Extreme PRO USB 3.0 Flash Drive through some speed or benchmark tests. We went back and forth transferring a 1000-megabyte file and we averaged out both the read and write speeds. What we found, was that this drive is crazy fast. Our average read speed was 260 MB/s and our average write speed was 244 MB/s. This is super fast when you think about it, clearly the fastest drive on the market. You can store a very large amount of files on this drive, up to 128GB. These transfer speeds really don’t slow down when the drive is full or when you are transferring large files.

 

Bottom Line

The SanDisk Extreme PRO USB 3.0 Flash Drive is the fastest flash drive in the world, that is our rating of it. This is the best most performance driven flash drive solution available. If you are in the market for a flash drive, that has large storage and that is fast, look no further. As an added bonus, you get an amazingly designed product. It’s not one of those products that you want to hide, it’s something you won’t mind bringing around with you. At $199.99 the price might be high for some, but Amazon.com was selling it for cheaper at $150. To put it simply, you won’t be disappointed with the Extreme PRO USB 3.0 Flash Drive, SanDisk hit the ball way out of the park with this product. Click Here For More Information On The Fastest Flash Drive Out There! We would like to thank SanDisk for providing us with a copy of the “SanDisk Extreme PRO USB 3.0 Flash Drive”.
