Zitat: award Pro: + Available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities + Excellent read and write speeds + Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 + Compatible with Windows XP/Vista/7 and Mac + Good looking and well constructed design + Includes SanDisk SecureAccess software + Limited lifetime warranty + Reasonably priced Contra: - Includes only 2GB of online storage The SanDisk Extreme is one of the better, if not the best, USB 3.0 flash drives to come through the ´Labs to date. Along with a relatively compact design, the Extreme packs some impressive performance. It performed very well in our tests, reading at speeds as high as 205 MB/s and writing at speeds in excess of 170 MB/s. As you´d expect, the drive´s speeds dropped considerably when plugged into a USB 2.0 port. However, it was still faster than most of the flash drives we´ve tested. The Extreme is also covered by a lifetime limited warranty and ships with SanDisk´s SecureAccess software which protects your files against unauthorized access by storing them in an encrypted, password-protected "vault" on the drive. The Extreme is available now in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities. Suggested retail prices range from $65 to $160 depending on the size. However, the drive can be picked up for considerably less from Amazon or through some of the merchants on PriceGrabber .
