Simple backup is a buzz concept right now: Knowing that we generally backup about as often as we floss, tech companies have tapped into the current consumer zeitgeist with all manner of easy backup solutions, notably Apple 's idiot-proof Time Machine.

This review is easy to sum up. A flash drive with 64GB of space, 128 bit AES encryption and a dedicated backup button. Any questions? To put it in perspective, 64GB is enough capacity for about 45k photos or 30k MP3 files.

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.

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

Nice! A small portable multi use and easy to use flash drive. I only wish it would come in a larger capacity. I use this flash drive to backup my backed up files and then I could have confidence that these files are being protected in another place.

This is certainly true of the SanDisk Ultra (32GB), which boasts only average features and durability along with a decent capacity and an...

Lots of space; Capless design; Won't block adjacent ports

Only USB 2.0; Not very rugged

With so many of my friends having technical issues with their laptops lately it reminded me back to a few years back when I had my laptop break suddenly and I lost everything. This is when I realised it may be a sensible idea to get a back up method of storage just in case this were to happen with...

easy to use; reliable

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

I'm not a computer geek but I really LOVE this 64 GB ULTA BACKUP DRIVE. I changed all my files, MS WORD, MS OUTLOOK, GARMIN, MS WORKS, MY MUSIC & PICTURES and ALL files to San-Disk flash drives and no more files in my laptop. After my order arrived I installed it and Walla it's working.
