Earlier today, at Computex 2016, a new SanDisk dual-sided USB flash drive with read speeds of up to 150MB/s was unveiled. The thumb drive features a reversible USB Type-C connector and a traditional USB Type-A connector for easy file transfers between smartphones, tablets and computers.
The SanDisk Ultra Dual USB Type-C Flash Drive is available in 4 capacities – 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB. The variety of storage options, combined with the USB 3.1 read and write speeds, should make the thumb drive a perfect choice for people looking for a quick way to transfer files from their PCs to their mobile Type-C devices and vice versa, when there situation doesn’t allow for direct connectivity between devices.
“By 2020 we expect that 44 percent of all mobile phones sold worldwide will include a USB-C connector, that’s about 800% growth over the next four years,” said Ken Hyers, director, Wireless Device Strategies, Strategy Analytics. “At this rate of anticipated growth, we expect to see more and more solutions like the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive USB Type-C flash drive that offer consumers a way to move and access their content between devices with varying connectors.”
