The SanDisk Ultra Flair 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive is now available at Mascom International for KSh 2,600, in stock at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 drive reads files at up to 150MB/s, holds 64GB of storage, and slips into a metal casing tough enough for daily carry. The SanDisk Ultra Flair stays backward compatible with older USB 2.0 ports, so it works on laptops new and old. At KSh 2,600, the SanDisk Ultra Flair gives Kenyan buyers fast, reliable portable storage without paying for a larger drive they may not need.
The SanDisk Ultra Flair 64GB suits university students moving assignments between campus labs and home laptops at Kenyatta University, Strathmore, and USIU. Content creators back up photo folders and short video clips before clearing phone storage. Accountants and lawyers carry signed PDFs and case files between Upper Hill chambers and client meetings. Many Kenyan professionals still lose work when a laptop fails or a cloud upload stalls on slow connections. A 64GB drive that reads at 150MB/s solves that by keeping a physical copy in your pocket, ready whenever a USB port is near.
At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand for dependable flash storage as more Kenyan workers move between offices, cybercafes, and home setups. The SanDisk Ultra Flair 64GB carries a metal body, a five-year manufacturer warranty, and free password-protection software for private files. Buyers across Nairobi report the drive holds up to keys and coins in a pocket far better than plastic alternatives. Visit our Kimathi Street store to collect one today, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the SanDisk Ultra Flair 64GB flash drive
How fast is the SanDisk Ultra Flair 64GB in real use?
The SanDisk Ultra Flair reads files at up to 150MB/s over a USB 3.0 port, around 15 times quicker than a standard USB 2.0 drive. That speed transfers a full-length movie in under 30 seconds. Write speeds sit lower, near 60MB/s, which is normal for drives in this price range. For documents, photos, presentations, and music, the difference is felt immediately. Plug it into an older USB 2.0 laptop and it still works, just at the slower port's pace.
Is the SanDisk Ultra Flair 64GB worth KSh 2,600 in Kenya?
Yes. At KSh 2,600 the SanDisk Ultra Flair 64GB offers metal-bodied build quality and 150MB/s read speeds that cheaper plastic drives rarely match. Many sub-2,000-shilling drives use slow USB 2.0 chips and crack easily. This SanDisk drive backs its hardware with a five-year manufacturer warranty, far longer than most accessory cover in Kenya's market. For students, office workers, and creators who move files daily, the price buys reliability that pays off over years of use.
What can 64GB of storage actually hold?
64GB holds roughly 16,000 high-resolution photos, around 15 hours of 1080p video, or thousands of Word, Excel, and PDF documents. For a typical Kenyan student, that covers an entire degree's worth of notes, assignments, and reading material with room to spare. Photographers fit a full event shoot before offloading to a laptop. The capacity sits in a sweet spot: large enough for real backups, small enough to stay affordable at KSh 2,600.
Does the SanDisk Ultra Flair work with both Windows and Mac?
Yes. The SanDisk Ultra Flair 64GB works on Windows and Mac computers straight out of the packaging, with no drivers to install. Plug it into any USB-A port and the drive appears as removable storage. Mac users may need to reformat to exFAT for full read-write access on larger transfers, a quick step in Disk Utility. The drive also reads on many TVs, car stereos, and printers that accept USB-A storage, widening where you can use it.
Can I password-protect files on the SanDisk Ultra Flair?
Yes. The SanDisk Ultra Flair includes free SecureAccess software that creates a password-protected folder on the drive. Files placed inside stay locked behind 128-bit encryption, so private documents stay private if the drive is lost or borrowed. The software runs on Windows and Mac and is an optional download, not a forced install. Lawyers, accountants, and HR staff handling sensitive records find this useful for carrying confidential files between locations safely.
How durable is the metal casing?
The SanDisk Ultra Flair 64GB uses a solid metal casing rather than plastic, so it resists knocks, drops, and the wear of riding loose in a bag or pocket. The cap-style design has no moving slider to break. It survives the jostling of a daily matatu or boda boda commute through Nairobi traffic. There is no LED light or status indicator, keeping the design simple. The metal body also helps the drive shrug off keys and coins that scratch lesser drives.
What is the difference between USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 on this drive?
USB 3.0, branded here as USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, moves data far faster than older USB 2.0. On a USB 3.0 port the SanDisk Ultra Flair hits up to 150MB/s read speed; on a USB 2.0 port that drops to around 30MB/s. The drive plugs into both, so it never stops working on an older machine. To get full speed, use the blue-coloured USB ports on newer laptops and desktops, which indicate USB 3.0 support.
Does the SanDisk Ultra Flair 64GB come with a warranty in Kenya?
Yes. Mascom International backs the SanDisk Ultra Flair 64GB with a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects, while SanDisk adds its own five-year limited manufacturer warranty on the hardware. That combined cover is among the longest you will find on a flash drive in Kenya's market. Our Nairobi CBD service desk handles any claim directly. Keep your receipt, as proof of purchase is needed for both the Mascom and the manufacturer warranty process.
