SanDisk has introduced two new mobile memory solutions at the WC 2015. The Flash memory specialist has announced first 32GB Dual USB Drive with Type C connector, ideal for Type C-ready connected devices, and the 128GB iXpand™ Flash Drive, designed for iPhone and iPad.
First up is the 32GBUSB flash drive with a Type C connector. The new Dual USB Drive features a Type C connector on one end and a USB 3.0 on the other for fast and easy transfer between next-generation devices and PC or Mac computers. The Dual USB Drive with Type C connector also works with the SanDisk Memory Zone app, which gives users even greater control over their mobile device’s memory storage.
The app, available for free download from the Google Play Store, is compatible with most Android powered devices and allows users to easily locate, organize, transfer and back up data. When the device is connected, the Memory Zone app auto-launches, and allows users to easily manage and transfer content between their mobile device and the drive. The 32GB SanDisk Dual USB Drive with Type C connector features a two-year warranty and will be available worldwide in Q2.
Next up is the iXpand Flash Drive that has an Apple Lightning connector instead of the USB Type-C connector. The 128GB iXpand Flash Drive can only copy files, not move them. When used with the new iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2 or iPad mini 3 128GB models, the new iXpand Flash Drive instantly doubles the available storage for photos and videos, music, and other multimedia files.
The iXpand Sync app, available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad allows users to automatically sync, backup and transfer photos and videos. It launches when the iXpand Flash Drive is plugged into an iPhone or iPad. It is available in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB capacities, with MSRPs of $59.99 to $149.99, and is compatible with iPhone 5 and above, iPad Air and above and iPod touch (5th generation) running iOS 8 or iOS 7.
