The SanDisk Extreme Pro 128 GB (G46) USB key is under €40 at Amazon, a drop of around 13% on the usual price. This is currently our best value for money.
Three years ago, SanDisk launched its high-end Extreme Pro series of USB 3.0 flash drives. A series that has long been a benchmark in the field as its speeds were high. After a minor evolution that brought a slightly higher speed, it’s time for the real successor, with a 2017 edition that promises more than 400 MB/s!
SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB (G46)
SanDisk brilliantly renews its high-end USB flash drive with a truly extremely fast model. We measured speeds of up to 360 MB/s in reading and 295 MB/s in writing. The lifetime warranty and the serious construction complete this great service.

SanDisk Ultra Fit 128GB
A very practical key, which combines a small format with more than correct speeds. With a 5-year warranty and a low price, this makes it a great companion for a car stereo, TV or any device that requires a discreet but fast USB stick. Beware of the heating of this 128 GB version. If the temperature absolutely does not reach a dangerous threshold, this affects the speed which tends to drop during long copy sessions.
