The SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USV Type-C has a long name for such a compact device that enables smart mobile device users to quickly transfer data in between their laptop and tablet or smartphone, free up space on their smartphone/tablet by transferring files to other devices and backup their photos, videos, or important documents.
Boasting a premium metal design that enables users to easily slip it into even the tiniest of jeans pockets, this Uber USB stick allows you to transfer files seamlessly from your iPhone, iPad, Android tablet or smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S24 in our case) using the SanDisk Ultra Drive Luxe USB Type-C flash memory drive to your Windows PC or Mac.
You can do so even if your laptop, or desktop PC does not have a USB-C slot since this USB sports a 2-in-1 flash drive design that features a reversible USB Type-C and Type-A connectors, meaning you simply flip it around to reveal the USB Type-A connector to access previous gen input slots. This dual-purpose swivel design also helps protects connectors for peace of mind usage on the go and it incorporates a keyring hole in order to allow for further portability options.
Once connected, the high-end USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance delivers reading speeds of up to 400MB/s, enabling users to quickly move their files, high-res photos and videos to their computer.
You can then free up space on your device, or simply automatically back up your latest photos, videos, music, documents and contacts using the SanDisk Memory zone app (download from Google Play or the App Store). The latter means you can rest assured that even if you ever lose your smartphone, you’ve got your most precious memories backked up that matter most.
All of this style, functionality and convenience does come at a price though, with the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB Type-C going for a recommended retail price of R750 (for the 256 GB version) at local retail outlets such as the iStore. It does come in different colours including metallic silver and Tiffany Green, as well as different storage options including 128 GB. We received our 128 GB review unit from Western Digital which now owns SanDisk.
