SanDisk built its name producing flash drives, and now the company is releasing its first dedicated USB Type C option.This USB 3.1 stick comes in storage sizes up to 128GB and offers read speeds of 150MB/s. Write speeds are unspecified.The SanDisk Ultra USB Type C drive is already up on Amazon in increments of 16GB (12.99), 32GB ($17.99), 64GB ($27.99), and 128GB ($49.99). Though as I write this, it shows up as temporarily out of stock in all four sizes.This is not the first flash drive to support USB Type C. Lexar has a dedicated drive that costs less money. Other companies such as Kingston, as well as SanDisk itself, have introduced convertible options that can connect to both Type C and Type A devices. But getting a dedicated drive is cheaper if you don't need the backwards compatibility.
