SanDisk dual USB 3.0 flash drive — A must-have for Android users

The flash drive is highly recommended for people using smartphones with limited storage

In the age of everything-digital, a flash drive is probably the most handy device to store and transfer data. Having said that, in the present times, smartphones have become primary devices for most users, and transferring and storing large files on these smartphones is not always easy. Especially, for smartphones with limited storage capacity, it’s always a problem to save your favourite shows or movies on the device, because of lack of space. However, flash drives have turned a technology wiser. The on-the-go (OTG) dual USB drives are the answer to all the smartphone storage issues.

SanDisk recently launched the OTG Dual USB 3.0 flash drive for smartphones and tablets. The OTG has three variants with different storage capacities — 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. It has an eminent transfer speed of 120MB per second, which means it can transfer a movie or a music library within seconds.

It is quite handy, with the size of small candy, and can be easily carried around in a wallet. The flash drive has a retractable slider to pull out the USB for a computer or a smartphone, from the either sides. It is compatible with almost all Android devices, and desktop PCs with Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Mac OS X v10.6 and higher operating system.

The OTG flash drives are an efficient way to move content from one device to another. Also, for smartphones with a limited storage capacity, these flash drives can be quite helpful. A user can store all the large files on the flash drive and access it on-the-go when needed. Android users can also monitor the available space on their device using the flash drive by downloading the SanDisk Memory Zone app. The app allows a user to organise and back up files stored on the smartphone.

The SanDisk Ultra Dual USB Drive 3.0 is available on Flipkart in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities with at Rs 1,099, Rs 1,749 and Rs 3,049 respectively. It is recommended for people who toss around a lot of data between their smartphone and PC, and the ones with a limited internal storage on their smartphone.

However, the Apple users must not feel sad, SanDisk also offers an OTG flash drive for iOS users, which is available in storage capacities up to 128GB. For more details on SanDisk iXpand, read here.
