USB flash drives are pretty useful?—?they give you a nice way of transporting documents, photos and other media from one PC to another. But until today, almost all of them have only had one plug: normal, regular ol’ USB. Now, we’re happy to show you the future of USB drives: the Sandisk Dual USB & USB-C memory drive!
The Dual Drive is a simple evolution of the standard concept, adding a new USB-C connector on the other end of a regular USB drive. That means you can connect to new devices with USB-C ports, like the MacBook and new Nexus. It’s a heck of a lot better than using a clumsy adapter, and it ensures that you can get your files on any almost any device, new or old.
By being able to connect to phones and tablets using USB-C, you also get a pretty unique capability for a USB drive: you can copy off photos, songs and videos that you don’t need for the moment, and clear up space on your mobile device. That’s super useful for devices with limited storage, and of course you can use the full-size USB port on the other end of the drive to copy things quickly and easily to your PC for long-term storage.
The Dual USB drive also supports the USB 3.0 standard, meaning it’s much faster than older USB 2.0 drives. Copying even large files takes only seconds, so you’ll minimise the amount of time you spend waiting around for files to copy over. Of course, the drive is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0, so you can still use it on older devices at their (slower) top speed.
