Untitled design (16)

The 128GB SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive USB Type-C proves to be the perfect device for data transfers and storage as the world turns away from traditional USB-A ports and looks towards ultra-modern USB-C ports.

The 128GB SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive USB Type-C allows you to quickly and easily transfer files between smartphones, tablets and computers at high speeds of up to 150MB/s.

The duality of the drive is displayed in its retractable design with the modern, reversible USB-C connector and the traditional USB connector. The average user does not have to worry too much about compatibility between devices. This drive serves as a bridge between your latest smart device and older models before the world eventually disowns the traditional USB port in its entirety and adopts USB Type-C ports.

This drive is geared more towards users of Android, which owns the majority mobile operating system market share (84.83%) in Nigeria.  it has a USB-C port, On The Go (OTG) support and the SanDisk Memory Zone app for Android which allows for the easy management and back up of content on either a smartphone or tablet.

If you have an Apple iPhone though, this drive may not be for you. You are better off sticking with the popular iXpand Mini Flash drive (Important to note: the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive USB Type-C is compatible with Apple Macbooks 2015 and later, when the USB-C ports were first introduced). At less than N10,000, the 128GB drive is an affordable and worthwhile investment for all your data storage needs.

Being a brand of Western Digital, the fourth-largest manufacturer of flash memory, SanDisk remains the industry standard. That being said, users can be rest assured of the quality and reliability of the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive.

Opinion:
The 128GB SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive is a must have for those heavily within the Android ecosystem (own an Android smartphone, tablet and laptop) or anyone who possesses devices that still utilize a traditional USB-A port or the modern USB-C port. For a proven brand and at just under N10,000, the drive gives you the best bang for your buck. Download speeds of up to 150MB/s ensure data transfers are quick and easy. The SanDisk Memory Zone app ensures your data never goes missing and is the perfect back-up. No pun intended.
