Packaging:

The Ultra Backup we received from SanDisk was an early sample and did not come in retail packaging. The company was able to provide a few images showing what the new packaging will look like when it shows up in stores.

Physical Features:

The Ultra Backup is one of the larger flash drives in SanDisk's lineup. Measuring 2.87" long, 0.87" wide and 0.42" thick, its about the size of a pocketknife or disposable lighter. While you probably wouldn't want the drive hanging off of your keychain, it easily fits in a pocket, purse or laptop bag.

The body of the Ultra Backup is constructed of a lightweight, black plastic. The drive's bright red USB connector is exposed using a unique sliding mechanism which can be manipulated with just your thumb. The Ultra Backup also has a glowing, amber-colored LED which pulses rapidly when data is being transferred and slows down when the drive is idle.

The Ultra Backup's most unique feature is its "backup" button. When pressed, this button tells the software on the computer to start the backup process and copy your files onto the drive.
