SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive

SanDisk Cruzer Blade

The SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB utilizes a single-chip NAND flash architecture to provide high-density storage in a minimal footprint. This device operates on the USB 2.0 interface, supporting theoretical transfer rates up to 480 Mbps.
