We see the word Ultra fairly frequently on this website, often tied to graphics cards or other exciting pieces of PC hardware and used to denote improved performance. Here, it’s attached to something as prosaic as a USB SSD, and represents a reduction in something: size.
The Ultra Compact is small. There are standard USB flash drives out there that are similar in dimensions, but this is a whole 1 TB (2 TB is also available) of fast storage crammed into something the size of a pack of gum, a small folding pocket knife, or three and a half (maybe four) almonds laid end to end if you prefer non-metric measurements. There's a lanyard loop at one end if you fancy wearing it around your neck as an avant garde fashion accessory. They’re all the rage in Paris.
