SanDisk's new 128GB flash drive is the size of a penny

This ultra-small, low profile drive stays put for extra storage, or moves media super-fast between devices. Enjoy performance speeds up to ten times faster than standard USB 2.0 drives**, transfer a full-length move in less than 40 seconds**

The drives support SanDisk’s SecureAccess software for creating password-protected folders with 128-bit AES encryption. They also include a year’s subscription to RescuePro, which can help recover corrupted or accidentally deleted files.

Neither drive comes cheap, however, with suggested prices of $120 for the 128GB Ultra Fit, and $200 for the 256GB Ultra. They should both be available soon through SanDisk’s website and through online retailers, where they’ll hopefully get some discounts before too long.

Why this matters: Higher capacities from major storage makers are always good news, even if you can’t fathom packing so much data onto a thumb drive. The new options are sure to drive prices down through the rest of the line, as we’re already seeing SanDisk’s 64GB Ultra Fit sell for just $27.50 on Amazon.
