One of the unspoken truths of computing is that even power users often forget to do backups on the road. Yet it only takes one crash to lose your Word documents, photos, music collection, movies, and other locally stored files.

Lightweight; Handy backup button

Bland design; Relatively slow speeds

While many external drives now come with a physical push-button backup option, a new genre of backup devices is emerging: one-touch USB flash drives that combine the convenience of small size with relatively sophisticated backup applications for data protection.

I know a lot of Windows users that cringe when I mention Mac's backup system called Time Machine. "We've had backup in Windows for way longer than Time Machine" is their typical response. I agree. What they fail to realize is the ease of use that Apple's Time Machine brings for backing stuff up.

The SanDisk Ultra Backup USB Flash Drive is a one-touch backup solution and USB memory stick. We tested the 32GB version.

It is a great product of sandisk at affordable price. I am using this pendrive for 3 years now and it is working very nicely. It is a perfect choice if u want to buy a pendrive at a reasonable cost and from a great brand. Company also offers 5 years warranty. It has also large capacity of 8GB.

Tweet In today's connected and mobile world, flash drives are very handy in providing access to important data whilst on the go, while portable hard drives, such as the Verbatim GT , offer additional storage space, along with the convenience of a backup solution.

The backup button is very handy; the device is compact; the backup solution is easy to use; additional online storage offered

The 8 GB of storage space limits the amount of music and movies you can backup and USB 3.0 would have allowed a much speedier transfer speed

I needed a flash drive to carry documents and ideas as well as a journal of sorts around with me and this has been the greatest product. I may not need all of the 16GB that it has as I'm using it mostly for documents, but since I added a couple of pictures as well, it's great to have.

Easy to use; easy set up

Haven't found one

64GB flash technology is not there yet. The biggest flash one should buy is 32GB. Ive never owned anything this slow. Its also too long. Could be much shorter.

Lots of capacity; capless; lightweight; one button backup for PCs dont know if this works since i have mac

bulky; SLOW

Okay, so it's not USB 3.0. but it's a great price and the backup button works really well. It's fast enough that I don't really notice how llong it takes to save a file to the drive and reading from the drive is almost as fast as reading from my laptop hard drive.

I paid as much as for this as my 4 Gig a year ago! I jumped on it and the only flaw is the lack of a clip on to carry it on your keychain or id neck strap. So I am forced to carry it in my pocket, which is one more thing to jingle.
