Silicon Power Ultima U05 16 GB — Retractable, Matte, USB 2.0
16 GBUSB 2.0, Type-ARetractable, no cap5-year Silicon Power warranty
The Silicon Power Ultima U05 is a 16 GB USB 2.0 flash drive with a retractable connector designed for one-handed operation — push it out with a thumb, push it back when you are done. The surface is matte rather than gloss, specified to resist scratches, fingerprints and dirt. It measures 53.9 x 20.0 x 10.0 mm, weighs 9.2 g, and the connector is rated for a minimum of 10,000 insertions.
Compatibility — check before buying:
???? The Ultima U05 and the Blaze B05 are the same drive body with different insides. Same 53.9 x 20.0 x 10.0 mm, same 9.2 g, same matte finish, same retractable slider, even the same Taiwanese design patent D160058 — you cannot tell them apart in a photograph. The difference is the bus:
SP016GBUF2U05V1K, this drive, is USB 2.0; SP016GBUF3B05V1K is USB 3.2 Gen 1. Four characters in the middle of the part number, and a generation of performance between them. If you are ordering to match drives you already have, check those characters rather than the picture. This is also a USB Type-A drive with no USB-C connector and no adapter in the pack. One honest gap: Silicon Power publishes no read or write speed for the Ultima U05 at any capacity — its table reads n/a at 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 GB alike, exactly as it does for the Blaze B05. What is certain is the ceiling: USB 2.0 is meaningfully slower than any USB 3.2 drive whatever the exact figure. Silicon Power lists the U05 in black, blue and pink; our supplier describes this code as classic black.Best For
✓ Documents, spreadsheets and presentations, where 16 GB is enough
✓ One-handed use — pushing the connector out without two hands or a cap
✓ Older machines and equipment that predate USB 3
✓ Machines and laptops with USB-A ports
✓ A drive that will not lose a cap in a bag
✓ Buyers who want a five-year manufacturer term at a low price
Key Features
Five years, on a USB 2.0 drive
Silicon Power covers the Ultima U05 for five years — the same term as its USB 3.2 drives, and far longer than most sticks at this price carry. That is the most unusual thing about it.
Retractable, one-handed
Silicon Power designs the slider specifically for one-handed operation. There is no cap, so nothing detaches and nothing needs a second hand.
Matte surface
Specified to resist scratches, fingerprints and dirt. A small thing, but it is the difference between a drive that still looks new after a year in a pocket and one that does not.
10,000 insertions minimum
The connector is rated for at least ten thousand insertion cycles. At a few uses a day that is many years of service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
The Ultima U05 is a plain USB 2.0 stick with one genuinely unusual feature: five years of manufacturer cover, the same as Silicon Power gives its USB 3.2 drives. The retractable slider is a good mechanism and the matte finish wears well. Everything else is ordinary, and the bus is the limitation — no published speed, and USB 2.0 sets the ceiling regardless. The thing to be careful about is that it is indistinguishable from the Blaze B05, which is the identical shell on USB 3.2 Gen 1 for modestly more. For most buyers that is the better drive; choose the U05 when the price gap matters or when the machine it is going into genuinely predates USB 3. Both sit in our USB flash drives range. For large working files, an external SSD is the right class of product.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You want a cheap 16 GB USB-A stick with a one-handed retractable slider and an unusually long five-year term, and USB 2.0 speed is fine for what you carry.
Skip it if
Transfer time matters — the Blaze B05 is the same body on USB 3.2 Gen 1. Or you need a USB-C connector, or more than 16 GB.
Also consider
Silicon Power Blaze B05 — the identical body on USB 3.2 Gen 1. Silicon Power Blaze B30 if you want a published 90 MB/s read. Ultima U02 for the same bus in a slimmer body with a strap hole.
