So, what did Santa bring you this year? You probably got at least one gift card, didn’t you? Well, if you’re looking to use that gift card and get something that will benefit you in the long run, this 512GB SanDisk Ultra Fit thumb drive is only $35 at Amazon right now.

This super tiny flash drive has plenty of storage space for all pictures, videos, books, and whatever else you want to store on it. Given its size, you’ll want to ensure you won’t lose it, so maybe using a lanyard will help, especially since there’s a dedicated space for it.

This SanDisk model delivers fast reading speeds of up to 400MB/s, so you can quickly transfer large files, including movies or even those videos with holiday greetings you recorded of your whole family.

If you use the thumb drive to move around sensitive files, know that everything can be secured using 128-bit AES encryption. You’ll need extra software from SanDisk to make this happen, but it’s perfectly possible to set up a safe password and protect the documents.

Other capacities are also on sale:

• SanDisk Ultra Fit, 64GB (5-pack) – $47 (was $75)
• SanDisk Ultra Fit, 1TB – $80 (was $90)

Frankly, with or without a gift card, this deal for the 512GB SanDisk Ultra Fit is worth your attention. Given its $35 price tag, the 512GB version makes perfect sense to get right now, but any of them is going to come in handy at one point or another.

512GB for just $35 is ideal
