Adding to its portfolio of innovative memory solutions,
including SanDisk’s current, extremely popular SanDisk Ultra Dual
USB Drive 2.0, the new SanDisk Ultra Dual USB Drive 3.0 enables
mobile users to transfer files even faster, as well as free up
space on their smartphones and tablets. The drive simply connects
via micro-USB to a compatible Android device and gives users up to
64GB2 of extra storage instantly.
“Android devices offer users amazing features including
high-resolution photography and 4K Ultra HD video recording, which
quickly fill large amounts of mobile memory, and we know our
customers are looking for quick ways to access and transfer these
types of files,” said Philippe Willams, director of retail storage,
SanDisk. “In an effort to continue to improve our customer
experience, we incorporated feedback from our existing SanDisk
Ultra Dual USB Drive to build an even sleeker, faster and more
convenient solution for users on the go.”
The new SanDisk Ultra Dual USB Drive 3.0 sports a slick
retractable design for easy usability, as well as a longer
micro-USB connector to accommodate device cases or port covers. The
USB drive offers a convenient way to transfer and share content via
an Android-powered smartphone or tablet’s micro-USB port without
the need of cables, email or wireless set-up. The drive also offers
USB 3.0 performance at up to 130MB/s3 from the drive to the
computer for users to quickly transfer and back up photos, videos
and other files originally taken with their smartphone.
SanDisk Memory Zone Reaches Two Million Downloads
The SanDisk Memory Zone app, which has been downloaded more than
two million times via Google Play™ store, gives users even greater
control over their mobile device’s memory storage4. SanDisk’s
Memory Zone app is compatible with most Android-powered devices and
allows users to easily locate, organize, transfer and back up data.
When the new SanDisk Ultra Dual USB Drive 3.0 is connected, the
Memory Zone app auto-launches, and allows users to easily manage
and transfer content between their mobile device and the drive.
SanDisk Memory Zone app is currently available for free from the
Google Play store.
