Pocket-sized portable memory stick for moving documents, photos, and music between computers across Kenya
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB is now available at Mascom International for KSh 1,400, stocked at our Old Mutual Building store, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This USB 2.0 flash drive holds 16GB of data in a capless body measuring 41.5mm long and weighing about 10 grams. The SanDisk Cruzer Blade reads files at around 17 MB/s through a standard USB Type-A port. Its black and red casing slips into a pocket, wallet, or laptop bag. Students and office workers across Kenya pick up the SanDisk Cruzer Blade for quick document transfers and everyday file backups.
Built for students at the University of Nairobi, Kenyatta University, and Strathmore, the SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB carries assignments, research PDFs, and presentation slides between campus labs and home computers. Office staff move spreadsheets and scanned receipts without relying on email attachments or patchy internet. The 16GB capacity holds roughly 4,310 photos, 210 minutes of HD video, or thousands of Word and PDF documents. When cyber café printing or a fast file handover comes up, the drive plugs into any USB port and works within seconds. No drivers, no setup, no monthly cloud fees.
Where other electronics retailers in Kenya sell unbranded USB drives with unverified capacity, Mascom International stocks the genuine SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB with the SDCZ50 model code printed on the body. Buyers across Nairobi report the drive keeps working after years of daily plugging and unplugging. SanDisk covers the unit with a manufacturer limited warranty, and Mascom International adds local after-sales support from our Nairobi CBD desk. The SanDisk Cruzer Blade ships countrywide with pay-on-arrival delivery, so you inspect the drive before paying. Visit Mascom International on Kimathi Street to collect yours the same day.
Common Questions About the SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB
Is the SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB worth KSh 1,400 in Kenya?
Yes, at KSh 1,400 the SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB costs less than a single month of most cloud storage plans, and you own it outright. The drive carries 16GB of files with no recurring fees and no internet needed. For students and office workers who mainly move documents, photos, and slides, this capacity covers daily needs. You pay once and use it for years across any computer with a USB-A port.
How many photos and files can the SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB hold?
The SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB holds about 4,310 standard JPG photos, 210 minutes of HD video, or roughly 40 minutes of 4K footage. For documents, that translates to thousands of Word files, PDFs, and Excel spreadsheets with room to spare. A typical 5MB phone photo means around 3,000 images fit comfortably. The actual count drops slightly because the operating system reserves a small portion for file indexing, leaving close to 14.9GB of usable space.
How fast does the SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB transfer files?
The SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB reads data at around 17 MB/s on a USB 2.0 connection, with write speeds lower at roughly 4 to 5 MB/s. This suits documents, photos, music, and small video clips moved between machines. A 100MB folder of PDFs copies in well under a minute. The drive uses the USB 2.0 standard rather than USB 3.0, so it works on older computers and machines without the faster blue USB ports.
Does the SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB work with laptops, TVs, and car stereos?
Yes, the SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB plugs into any device with a USB Type-A port, including Windows laptops, Mac computers, TVs, car stereos, and printers. No driver installation is needed on modern systems. Many Kenyans load music and movies onto the drive for matatu and long-distance bus journeys, or play media through a TV USB slot at home. For phones, you need an OTG adapter since the drive uses a full-size USB-A plug.
Is the SanDisk Cruzer Blade sold at Mascom International a genuine SanDisk product?
Yes, Mascom International stocks the genuine SanDisk Cruzer Blade carrying the official SDCZ50 model code and SanDisk branding on the casing. Counterfeit USB drives often claim 16GB but hold far less actual capacity, corrupting files once filled. The genuine SanDisk unit reports its true 16GB and runs on verified flash memory from a recognised manufacturer. Buying from our Kimathi Street store means you receive the authentic drive with proper warranty backing, not a relabelled fake.
Can I password-protect files on the SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB?
Yes, the SanDisk Cruzer Blade includes free SecureAccess software that locks selected files behind a password using 128-bit AES encryption. You download the software once and create a private vault on the drive. Sensitive documents like contracts, bank statements, or KRA filings stay protected if the drive is lost or borrowed. The rest of the drive works normally for everyday files. This matters for accountants and lawyers carrying client records between offices.
Should I buy the 16GB or the 8GB SanDisk Cruzer Blade?
Choose the SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB if you store photos, video clips, or large presentation files, since it doubles the room of the 8GB version for a small price difference. The 8GB model suits people who only carry text documents and a few PDFs. At KSh 1,400, the 16GB works out to under KSh 4 per month over a typical three-year lifespan. The extra space saves you from deleting old files to make room for new ones.
How do I get the SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB delivered in Kenya?
Order the SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB by phone, email, or through our website, and Mascom International ships it countrywide with pay-on-arrival delivery. Nairobi orders arrive the same day, while Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret receive theirs within one business day. You only pay once the drive reaches you and you confirm it works. Walk-in buyers collect the drive directly from our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street during business hours.
