Western Digital expands Mobile Memory Solution Portfolio with SanDisk Dual Drive
Western Digital Corporation has launched its latest mobile memory solution for Android devices, the SanDisk Dual Drive. The new offering adds to the company’s portfolio of mobile storage solutions, a pen drive designed for Android smartphone users who want an easy, instant way to free up space on their OTG-enabled Android smartphones.
The new SanDisk Dual Drive features a sturdy, yet compact design. The presence of both micro-USB and USB connectors in the SanDisk Dual Drive allows a convenient solution for customers to manage their files between different devices.
According to a study conducted by Western Digital around 60 per cent of smartphone users share more than 10 MB of data on a daily basis, and about 50% of the consumers in India still use data cables or Bluetooth to transfer data from the smartphone to other devices. The SanDisk Dual Drive, available in storage capacities ranging from 16 GB to 128 GB, allows Android smartphone users to quickly transfer files between their device and a computer or easily free up space on their phone. This allows users to shoot high-resolution images and videos without being concerned about running out of memory on their device.
Addressing the launch, Khalid Wani, Managing Director India, Western Digital, said, “With the increasing smartphone penetration in the rural and urban markets, there is an increased need for easy data transfer solutions. Our endeavour is to deliver the best and the most reliable products to consumers. The new SanDisk Dual Drive is yet another testimony of our commitment to the Indian consumers. Paired with the SanDisk Memory Zone app, we have an excellent solution to help users free up space and manage their photos, videos and files across their favourite devices.”
The new SanDisk Dual Drive builds upon the success of the extremely popular SanDisk Ultra Dual USB drive m 3.0 and will be great addition to the portfolio. The SanDisk Dual Drive promises to offer great value to consumers who are looking for a simple solution to share content easily between devices.
This pen drive for Android smartphones uses the SanDisk Memory Zone app (available on Google Play) for automatic gallery backup and easy file and media management. The app allows consumers to back up their gallery, contacts, content from social networking sites, including tagged photos from Facebook and Instagram.
The company revealed that SanDisk Dual Drive offers 5-year warranty, and is available with retailers in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB capacities at MRP of Rs.700, Rs.1,150, Rs.2,000 and Rs.3,500, respectively. The product is available in all e-commerce and retail outlets.
