Sandisk Ultra Backup 32GB: Giant Capacity in a Small USB Stick
By Alexis • Jun 26th, 2009 • Category: USBWith a capacity of 32GB, Sandisk Ultra Backup 32GB is a USB stick with a plastic body. With compact dimensions, the USB comes included with U3 portable apps launcher and backup software. Slightly different from the traditional external drives, now a new generation of backup devices is emerging. This latest generation of external drives are one-touch USB flash drives that balance the convenience of small size with sophisticated backup applications for data protection. Sandisk Ultra Backup 32GB belongs to this latest genre of backup devices that have push-button backups with SanDisk’s U3 smart-drive technology. This technology allows the user to store Windows PC user preferences, profiles and settings and also download a limited number of applications from the flash drive.
Besides the 32GB version, the Sandisk USB Flash Drive also comes in 8GB, 16GB and 64GB capacities. Easy and quick to set up, it has handy backup features and no cap. It uses a retractable USB connector that can be pushed back into the body of the drive. It has been encased in ultra-thin plastic body which gives it a flimsy feel. However, the device is lightweight and compact and extremely portable. The SanDisk Ultra Backup 32GB drive is compatible with Skype for VoIP, Trillian for instant messaging and Mozilla’s Firefox Internet browser and all three can be launched directly from drive itself. The external drive also offers custom applications with the U3 technology that allow downloading YouSendIt. Another helpful feature of the drive is that each time it is pressed, the one-touch button backs up all your pre-selected files and folders.
