Score: 84/100Rankings
The SanDisk Ultra Fit 512 GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 flash drive packs massive storage into an ultra-compact, low-profile design. It delivers excellent read performance and encryption, but its write speeds are notably slow and the plastic case offers limited ruggedness.
The Samsung Type-C 512 GB flash drive offers fast 400 MB/s read performance in a compact metal chassis with a reversible USB-C connector and five-proof ruggedness, backed by a 5-year warranty. Its write speed is modest and the capless design may attract debris, but it excels for modern USB-C devices and demanding portable use.
