Shipping also includes an instruction manual, power supply, power and USB 3.0 cable.

CDRLabs has put together a brief review of SanDisk's Ultra USB flash drive. Available in 8GB, 16GB and 32GB capacities, this new drive sports an attractive slider design and is capable of transfer speeds of up to 15 MB/s. The Ultra also ships with SanDisk's SecureAccess software, which protects files against unauthorized access by creating an encrypted, password-protected folder or "vault" on the drive.
