SanDisk USB Flash Drive With micro-USB and USB 3.0

SanDisk Corporation announced Ultra Dual USB Drive 3.0, a flash drive featuring a micro-USB and a USB 3.0 connector for fast file transfers between On The Go (OTG) enabled Android devices ⁽¹⁾, PC and Mac computers.

Adding to its portfolio of memory solutions, including SanDisk’s current Ultra Dual USB Drive 2.0, the Ultra Dual USB Drive 3.0 enables mobile users to transfer files faster, as well as free up space on their smartphones and tablets. The drive connects via micro-USB to a compatible Android device and gives users up to 64GB ⁽²⁾ of extra storage.

“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 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 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 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 offers USB 3.0 performance at up to 130MB/s ⁽³⁾ from the drive to the computer for users to  transfer and backup photos, videos and other files originally taken with their smartphone.

The Memory Zone app, which has been downloaded more than two million times via Google Play store, gives users  control over their mobile device’s memory storage ⁽⁴⁾.  The app is compatible with most Android-powered devices and allows users to locate, organize, transfer and backup data. When the Ultra Dual USB Drive 3.0 is connected, the Memory Zone app auto-launches, and allows users to manage and transfer content between their mobile device and the drive.
