This review is from : 16GB Ultra USB Flash Drive
Fast . 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 unencrypted cases. About 1.5x longer only. I think that's well worth it if you have sensitive data.
Just remember you may need to update the software - since they won't have the new faster version on it for a while, I'm guessing.
I should mention that some things that are not perfect:
a) The thing feels a bit cheap - lightweight plastic
b) It is sometimes a little tricky to push the button to open it.
But who cares. I just want it to be fast at reading and writing files. And it does that very well. I'm not worried about the look and feel.

16GB Ultra USB Flash Drive Reviews
It does what it should. . 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.
